I have completed a variety of internships at various international schools in Munich for my teaching degree years ago, and this is the school I would recommend! It's a small school, which truly celebrates multiculturalism and their international students and families. On my first day I was surrounded by kindy kids, telling me excitedly where their families are from and how many different languages they could speak! Some of them spoke 4 languages fluently, and the kids thought it was funny that I only spoke two

Great school with lovely teachers, and a wonderful international teaching concept. The problem of smelling toilets has been solved by a general refurbishment over the summer holidays. Every class is being taught by a German, and an English mother tongue teacher.

We were very happy with the ibsm in the two years. The team is nice and committed, the rooms are not lavish, but functional and clean and we had a really good time overall.

We joined IBSM primary school for three years and after all, I can not recommend this school. Unless your child does not do all school work completely by his own and needs some guidance, explanations, simply school lessons and you and your child are not willing to do all work in the evenings, after the children spend the whole day in tiring, chaotic and loud (DIY) lessons, you should not loose your time there. Children are confronted with frustrated teachers and their indifferent behaviour towards the class. Some of them even seem to dislike children at all. Then: Most of the parents representatives do nearly a part time job at school, therefore they have an irritating strong voice in the overall organisation of school life. Two stars simply for the attempt (failed in my opinion) to a different school and learning (PYP).
