Frankfurt International School

At FIS our mission informs our actions and shapes our expectations. While academic excellence resides at the center of school life, the arts, sciences, humanities, language learning, life skills and athletics are within a tight orbit. Our teaching and learning practices are rooted in the International Baccalaureate Programme, helping students make connections across academic disciplines and challenging them to achieve their highest potential as individuals – and as caring, honorable, ethical and adaptable global citizens. This world of ours requires intellectual dexterity, independent thinking, unflagging curiosity, social agility, courage, social responsibility and uncompromising character, and our community is deeply committed to ensuring our young people are so prepared.

With more than 50 years of service to the Frankfurt/Rhein-Main area our reputation is founded on the motivation of our students, the skill of our faculty and unprecedented participation by our parent community. The reflections of our alumni and their parents speak to the quality of those relationships. Our doors are open to you with the assurance we will be at your family's side providing excellence in teaching and learning. Now we need you to join us to make this an even more remarkable place.

Two campuses, more than 50 nationalities, rigorous academics, a variety of performing and visual arts opportunities, and a strong athletics program, are just a few of many attributes that provide students at Frankfurt International School with A World of Opportunities. Our mission is to be the leading, culturally diverse and family-oriented international school with English as the principal language of instruction. We inspire individuals to develop their intellect, creativity and character to become independent, adaptable, socially responsible and internationally minded citizens, by ensuring a dynamic, inquiry-driven education of the highest standard. We believe that:
