Head of School

Dear Parents and Guardians,

A very warm welcome to Bavarian International School. We hope you will decide to join our amazing school community, and we are confident your child will thrive in the caring, rigorous and personalised learning environment we provide.

Five core commitments shape everything we do at BIS: trust, belonging, engagement, innovation and flourishing. We are unapologetically aspirational for all of our students, and these shared commitments represent who we are as a school and the high standards we hold ourselves to.

Any transition to a new school can be daunting, and that is where trust and belonging are key. Your child will find dedicated, experienced teachers and support staff who know them as an individual; two campuses built around how children actually learn; an IB education continuous from age three to graduation; and a diverse and welcoming community of 1,250 students from more than 70 countries. Our commitment to innovation is one we invest in, and in spring 2027 our new Creativity & Innovation Center (CIC) opens at our Haimhausen Campus.

If you have any questions or special requests, please contact our Admissions Team to schedule an appointment on campus - they would be glad to show you the school in person.

I look forward to welcoming you and your family to BIS.

Believe. Inspire. Succeed.

John Barker

Head of School & Executive Board of Bavarian International School (BIS)
