Frankfurt International School (FIS)

FIS - One of the largest international schools in Europe
One of the largest international schools in Europe, Frankfurt International School (FIS) was founded in 1961 as a non-profit institution and offers an international education based on the International Baccalaureate Program. FIS is a co-educational day school with its main campus situated 15 kilometers northwest of Frankfurt in Oberursel.
The 16-acre main campus contains two well-equipped buildings for the elementary and upper schools (grades 2 to 12), a new art and technology wing and a separate, multi-purpose primary school for children aged 3-7 years. Although English is the main language of instruction, German-language instruction is available throughout all grades. French and Spanish are offered in grades 6-12. English as a Second Language is also offered as well as a mother-tongue (first language) program during the school day in Dutch, Swedish, Japanese and Korean. Comprehensive programs in performing arts, fine arts and sports complete the curriculum and there is an extensive after-school program. The Upper School culminates in the IB Diploma Programme with examinations in grade 12. Students can also receive a high school diploma based on North American guidelines. Accredited by the Council of International Schools and the New England Association of Schools & Colleges, FIS is a founding member school of the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) and AGIS. The school is a registered examination center for the International Baccalaureate (IB) and the American College Board Entrance Examinations (SAT). Frankfurt International School also operates a branch school, International School Wiesbaden, for 200 children aged 3 to grade 5.
