Supervisory Board
Guiding the journey of BIS
The BIS Supervisory Board exists to provide strategic advice on our long-term development.
Originally established in 1990, the Bavarian International School (BIS) updated its status to that of non-profit stock corporation (gemeinnützige Aktiengesellschaft) in April 2018. The nine-member Supervisory Board works in partnership with the Executive Board, which is comprised of the Head of School and Business Director. The Supervisory Board has both monitoring and advisory functions, supporting the corporation in its political, financial, business, and fundraising areas, and in the overall strategic development of BIS. Subcommittees of the Supervisory Board like Executive, Finance and Governance focus on specific topics and present reports and recommendations to the Supervisory Board. All members of the Supervisory Board work on a voluntary basis.
As our school is a community built on shared values of international understanding, educational excellence and inclusive participation, every family is invited to become a shareholder (one share per family) - every family´s perspective matters in guiding the journey and future of BIS.
Kai Klicker-Brunner, Chair OF THE BIS Supervisory Board
"With its international, holistic and personalised approach to education, Bavarian International School creates an open learning environment in which students from diverse family backgrounds can develop their individual strengths, grow and flourish in a global society. Through inclusive admission pathways and targeted support structures, BIS is committed to making international education accessible while contributing to an open, internationally connected Munich region for families and professionals from around the world."
