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. Class sizes are around 22 pupils, with immersion teaching in German and English and native speaker delivery. 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. The school uses a web-based learning platform and emphasizes integration and intercultural learning.
