- Transdisciplinary learning – topics are linked and taught in a practical way, allowing children to recognize connections and transfer knowledge to their everyday lives.
- Critical & creative thinking – the PYP motivates children to question ideas, develop new solutions and look at challenges from different points of view.
- Self-efficacy and personal initiative – children learn that their decisions have an effect, take responsibility for their learning and develop powerful inner motivation.
Crèche
Our crèche is accommodated in its own wing on our new campus, and it is here that our youngest children find a secure, loving environment to which they can be introduced gently and in safety and where they acquire their first experiences and discover their world one step at a time. We support each child as an individual in a quiet bilingual, international and innovative environment which values that individual – thus laying the foundations for joy in learning and lifelong curiosity.
We promote all aspects of diversity: language, culture and the uniqueness of each individual child. Our internationally proven concept creates an atmosphere in which even the very young can grow, develop and have the confidence to try out new things.
Features of our crèche:
- Safe and secure environment for the very young – small groups and consistent caregivers for security, trust and direction.
- Gentle bilingual support (German & English) – based on the One Person – One Language principle, our professionals consistently support the children in their respective languages. The children are immersed in a bilingual language bath during play, becoming bilingual early and effortlessly.
- Exploring with all the senses – age-appropriate activities promote motor skills, perception, creativity and early self-efficacy.
- Individual development – we mindfully support each child at its own pace, strengthening both cognitive and social skills.
- Educational excellence from the very start through PYP – our creative, innovative and self-determined approach lays the foundation for key skills in a globalized world.
Nursery school
Our nursery school offers children a loving, international environment in which they can learn through play, develop their personality and make their first friends in a diverse community. The bilingual support and an inspiring environment encourage children to develop curiosity, self-confidence and the joy of discovery.
Once they have finished nursery school, our children also have the opportunity to make a seamless transition to our international all-day primary school – the International Bilingual School Munich (IBSM) – located in the same building. This eliminates the need for relocation, allowing the children to continue their education in a familiar environment.
Features of our nursery school:
- Bilingual environment (German & English) – children experience and learn the languages perfectly naturally as part of their everyday life.
- Exploratory learning through play – children learn through experience, creativity and their own questions.
- International community – different cultures are encountered in an open, respectful environment.
- Individual support – education professionals encourage each child's personal development.
- PYP as holistic education - a transdisciplinary approach involving learning through discovery with a focus on solutions and self-efficacy.
- Seamless transition to primary school (IBSM) – after completing nursery school, children can transition directly to our international all-day primary school in the same building – staying in the secure environment with which they are already familiar.
