IB World School; Primary Years Programme (PYP) aligned; Bavarian primary curriculum integrated with IB PYP
International Bilingual School Munich offers a full-day program and IB World School status since 2017. It combines the IB Primary Years Programme with the Bavarian LehrplanPLUS curriculum for ages 6 to 11 inclusive, delivering core subjects in a bilingual English–German environment. In classes 1 to 4, English-speaking and German-speaking teachers work together under a one language model, with families able to choose a focus language and receive extra instruction. Assessments rely on performance-based methods—PYP portfolios, conferences, and ongoing feedback—alongside periodic standardised tests. IBSM has been state-approved since 2010 and runs four classes, normally up to 25 pupils per class, with all-day sessions from 9:00 to 16:00. The Lerchenauerstraße campus is complemented by a planned Feldmochinger Campus featuring a bilingual library, an auditorium, a roof terrace, and spaces for movement and sport; a Mensa serves meals. After-school activities include breakdance, yoga, swimming and art workshops; social-emotional learning is central to PYP.
