Obermayr International School is an international school under German law. It combines the advantages of recognized German school qualifications with financial support from the state of Hesse and the design features of international schools. These include all-day care, a high degree of individualization in guiding the learning process, English as a second language, and provision of support and enrichment activities as well as leisure and sports offerings.
Obermayr International School in Schwalbach am Taunus is a German-law international school opened in 2009. It offers a German curriculum alongside the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) and serves ages 0–18, including nursery to grade 13. The 40,000 m² campus hosts bilingual primary and secondary education; lessons run 8 am–3 pm with after-school care until 6 pm and a Mensa.

Upper secondary is bilingual, with Einführungsphase (years 10–11) and Qualifikationsphase (years 11–13), five Leistungskurse and Grundkurse across four subject fields: sprachlich-literarisch-künstlerisches, gesellschaftswissenschaftliches, mathematisch-naturwissenschaftlich-technisches, and Sport. A second language is required; bilingual tracks use English in certain subjects. Abitur is the university entrance qualification, with Hessisches Internationales Abitur possible when English-taught courses are completed, and Cambridge test preparation for US universities.
