Introduction

International Bilingual School Munich offers a full-day program and IB World School status since 2017. It combines the IB Primary Years Programme with the Bavarian LehrplanPLUS curriculum for ages 6 to 11 inclusive, delivering core subjects in a bilingual English–German environment. In classes 1 to 4, English-speaking and German-speaking teachers work together under a one language model, with families able to choose a focus language and receive extra instruction. Assessments rely on performance-based methods—PYP portfolios, conferences, and ongoing feedback—alongside periodic standardised tests. IBSM has been state-approved since 2010 and runs four classes, normally up to 25 pupils per class, with all-day sessions from 9:00 to 16:00. The Lerchenauerstraße campus is complemented by a planned Feldmochinger Campus featuring a bilingual library, an auditorium, a roof terrace, and spaces for movement and sport; a Mensa serves meals. After-school activities include breakdance, yoga, swimming and art workshops; social-emotional learning is central to PYP.

Fees

Application fees

- The school charges an ibsm registration fee (Anmeldegebühr) as part of the admission process.

Tuition fees by school year / term

- The parental tuition contribution is income-dependent and calculated using an ibsm fee calculator based on gross annual family income. The school publishes the calculator and describes an "ibsm monthly fee" as the relevant contribution metric, rather than fixed published tuition rates by year group. No fixed per-term or per-year fee schedule by year group is publicly published.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- Fees are described in terms of a monthly parental contribution ("ibsm monthly fee") determined by submitted income documents; the site indicates the actual parental contribution will be determined from those documents. A specific, published billing schedule (for example, exact due dates, termly invoicing, or instalment options) and formal payment terms are not provided in the publicly available materials.

Boarding fees (if applicable)

- The school operates as a state-approved all-day (day) school and does not present itself as a boarding school; there are no boarding fees published.

Other costs and fees (uniforms, transport, exams, activities, etc.)

- The school states that its costs are met by parental contributions and government subsidies and that additional costs related to the school's support programme are met through parent contributions and external sponsoring. No itemised public list of additional compulsory costs (uniforms, transport/bus fees, meal plans, IB/assessment/exam fees, classroom materials, or extracurricular activity charges) with amounts is provided.

Refund information

- No publicly published refund policy for registration or tuition payments was found in the school's available download materials.

Fee payment options (credit card, bank transfer, direct debit, etc.)

- No specific payment methods (credit card, bank transfer, direct debit, online payment portal) are published in the publicly available materials.

Academics

Curriculum

The ibsm curriculum combines the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) with the Bavarian LehrplanPLUS curriculum for primary schools in all subjects and years. The arts, music, physical education and social learning also form part of the curriculum. In the bilingual primary school, classes 1 to 4 are taught by an English-speaking and a German-speaking teacher, following the 'one person – one language' principle. This enables natural bilingualism with two languages in a single environment; families may choose a focus language (English or German) with additional coaching in the chosen language. Assessment is based on performance-based methods; the PYP includes portfolios, conferences and ongoing assessments in place of traditional grades, and standardised tests are conducted at intervals. The school is state-approved since 2010 and an IB World School since 2017; there are four classes (1–4), normally up to 25 children per class, with all-day sessions from 9:00 to 16:00.
