International School of Bremen (ISB)

Welcome to the International School of Bremen (ISB). We hope that the impression you gain from visiting this active and vibrant site will encourage you to consider us as the school for your children. We strongly encourage you to visit ISB yourself to experience and appreciate the engaging and relaxed atmosphere and our excellent facilities.

We strongly believe that each child’s education should be a happy experience. From their first steps towards independent life in our Early Years and Elementary Section, our children develop the skills to grasp the many opportunities we offer, the confidence to realise their potential, and the independence which prepares them for future life.

As a truly international school, we thoroughly prepare children for the IGCSE and the world renowned International Baccalaureate, as a pathway to University anywhere in the world.

School days should be among the most rewarding days of your child’s life and within our stimulating and secure environment we provide a rich experience which is academic, cultural and enthusiastically international. We embrace our Mission Statement and beliefs, taking great pride in our pupils' achievements, both in the classroom and beyond.

Where we have students making exceptional progress in their studies way beyond what even they themselves think they are capable of, where we can be as sure as we ever can be that all students set off into the world with the personal skills, aptitudes and international mindset to allow them to thrive in the modern world. Where we have a challenging, inclusive English language-based curriculum, one which is built upon the foundations of reading, writing and arithmetic, and which is shaped according to the skills and knowledge our students need in the 21st century world.

Where we have the highest expectations of students and ourselves, where every student, no matter her or his starting point, is expected to work as hard as possible, and behave as well as she or he can, without qualification. Where we have truly great, evidence-based teaching and learning, where we have collaborated as a whole staff on identifying what works and we evaluate our practice regularly against what we know works.

Where we have the very best training programmes for our staff, where every single colleague has a high quality development programme mapped out for them the moment they begin working at our school.

Where we have the unqualified support of our parents, where parents have the highest aspirations for their children, and where they work with us in partnership in educating their children. Where we cherish well-being, where every single one of us is wholly committed to our work, but has time to enjoy life beyond ISB, with family and friends, so that the school/home balance is in true harmony and we embody a celebratory, sustainable approach to life.

Where we have a core set of values by which we live, where our core values – Respect, Honesty and Kindness – direct our every interaction to the point where they are interwoven throughout every aspect of the School. Where we have the highest reputation, one we genuinely deserve, where our excellence is manifest, where we are working at the heart of an international community and local community, a school at which the best teachers and support staff want to come and work, and students from around the world want to come and learn – because they know they will thrive.
