Parent Experience

History
The European Primary School Glauchau was founded in 2003 by Horst Jähnert and Rüdiger School. It was intended to be forward-looking, cosmopolitan, foreign-language oriented and geared toward the increasing challenges of the world of work. The success of the first school confirmed the founders' approach, and between 2005 and 2009 further schools were founded. In July 2009 Saxony International School was born, and all existing schools were transferred to SIS. The Saxony International School network now comprises 17 independent schools with around 3,100 pupils, including Internationale Grundschule Glauchau.

Community
Weltoffenheit, Werte und Normen, eine fundierte Allgemeinbildung, Fremdsprachenkenntnisse und nicht zuletzt Medien- und Wirtschaftskompetenz are central to the school's identity, and are presented as more than words; holistic education means learning with head, heart and hand. The school aims to empower pupils for an ever-growing, changing world, in the spirit of its namesake Carl Hahn's motto, ‘Mein Feld ist die Welt' (My field is the world). Information about the school's offerings and distinctive features can be found in the school materials. Carl Hahn Jubiläumsstipendien for SIS primary schools provide 150 euros per month for four years for up to 20 scholarships; applications are open until 15 July 2026.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)
The IGS Glauchau School Association e.V. was founded on 18 November 2003. The association provides financial support for additional teaching and learning resources beyond the standard equipment and funded the installation of interactive whiteboards in every classroom. It also funds native-language teachers from English-speaking countries who work with pupils in morning and afternoon classes. The association supports TELC certificate exam fees under certain conditions, and covers maintenance costs for the historic school building. Membership is open to parents and others who wish to contribute, with opportunities to participate actively or passively; the association welcomes new members. Contact: Chairman Sven Helbig. Bank details are provided for contributions.
