European School Munich of

Munich

The European School Munich (ESM) provides multilingual and multicultural teaching from the nursery to the baccalaureate. It is the only school in Munich which teaches the national languages of all 28 Member States of the European Union. From early childhood on, pupils from different nations learn together and from each other. They benefit from the fact that the teaching staff consists of highly qualified and motivated pedagogical experts from all over Europe who contribute their experience. The top priority in everyday school life is respectful and tolerant interaction. The lessons strengthen the different cultural identities and promote the talents of all pupils. The European motto "United in diversity" is not only part of the curriculum, but is also lived out through numerous projects and extracurricular activities. An advisory and support team helps parents and pupils with social, psychological and health issues. The governments of the EU Member States have recognised the European Schools as official educational establishments and jointly monitor the high quality of education. The aim is to provide children with a school education equivalent to a comparable national education system. At the end of their schooling, children take the European baccalaureate, which is the entrance qualification to university and higher education, equivalent to the highest school-leaving qualifications in the EU countries, and is highly regarded internationally.
