avarian International School is an international learning community intent on inspiring young minds and challenging young individuals to achieve their intellectual and personal potential within a caring international environment.  We aim to encourage students to become active, compassionate and life long learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

As a learning community we are a school where all (students, staff and parents) are committed to their own learning and supporting the learning of others. Through our curriculum at BIS, aligned with the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme, the Middle Years Programme and the Diploma Programme, we want to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect. In order to achieve this we provide a curriculum which compels teachers and educational leaders to think deeply about their own practice with regards to student learning and continuous school development.  Each learner is provided with the opportunity to construct meaning and be involved in each step of the teaching and learning process.

We are committed to providing an international programme that meets the needs of students from all nations, serving the multinational community of greater Munich and its surrounding areas. Located in the heritage setting of Schloss Haimhausen, BIS offers the security of established structure and curriculum, combined with contemporary, dynamic and innovative educational practice, focused on the development of the whole child. Our highly-qualified and skilled professional staff represents more than fifteen nationalities. Our student age range (from 4 - 18 years old) enhances the sense of community, and our size enables us to maintain close and valued links with the members of our school community.

When our students leave BIS, we want them to stride into the world of further education and employment well qualified, skilled and equipped to handle the challenges of the international world in which they will live, learn, serve and work. We welcome your active participation in making this vision a reality.
