Introduction

Founded in 1985, the International School of Stuttgart (ISS) Degerloch campus serves students from age 3 to 18 through the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework. The campus recently expanded with a new facility in August 2024 that centers on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM), featuring dedicated makerspaces and scientific laboratories. In the Early Years "Nest," children follow an inquiry-based model influenced by the Reggio Emilia approach, utilizing dedicated outdoor learning areas and gardens. ISS emphasizes service learning, notably through its student-led KIVA micro-financing program which supports global entrepreneurs. The school provides a bus service for the regional community and offers language instruction in German, French, and Spanish. Classes are historically capped at 16 students to ensure individual attention. Located in a green suburb 15 minutes from the city center, the school balances local cultural integration with an English-language curriculum recognized by German educational authorities.
