International school Augsburg
Gersthofen
British Curriculum
currently K-9
By car, others by way of public transportation or private school bus which is very expensive, round trip €10 per day.
The school is newly contructed, 5 years now. A new Gym is under contruction should be completed by next February (is my guess). Just a few extra-curricular activities, Drama, Orchestra, Yearbook is new this year, and food preparation for the very young.
Adjusting to the new school has been easy. The school isn't very challenging. I'm not sure what they are preparing the children for certainly not for the German system nor for the USA system. Most of the students are German, there are very few expatriates. There seems to be quite a few disapointed parents. If you are looking for a holding place for your child this could be the place.
Every Friday there is an assembly for the lower school. The mothers usually mill around before and after. PTA has been eliminated due to frustration on behalf of the parents. The school has a School Advisory Group hand selected by the Head of School, so far nothing has been accompliched
Elementary school is a positive environment for the children. The children are taught to help each other, hold the door open for the person behind you, say please and thank you, which is not always found in the German culture. Middle school is need of improvement, non-native English teacher teaching English. Math teachers non-motivating and non-inspirational. There is an advantage for the teachers, class sizes are small and yet they are unable to inspire. No IBO, or IGCSE proven programs

Expats often move to Frankfurt for jobs in finance and IT. Frankfurt is continental Europe's largest financial center and has a population of approximately 2.5 million in the city and surrounding urban area. Towns in the Taunus area north of Frankfurt and Wiesbaden and Mainz to the west are popular among expats. There are many international and bi-lingual schools to choose from and lots of expat clubs in the Frankfurt area.
This comment is definitely outdated and untrue. The International School of Augsburg has been running the PYP programme for years as well as the IB Diploma. The school is preschool through Grade 12. There is a very active PTO. All of this is evident on the website. Please update or remove this old report.
wummy99maThis post is outdated and should be deleted. International School Augsburg follows the IB International curriculum, counts 350 students today and had already six graduation years.
