LEARNING
Early Years & Lower School
The Early Years (EY) class provides a wonderful introduction to learn and build socialisation abilities through play.
The staff and faculty strive to provide the tools students need for success.
​
The Lower School curriculum is framed by the philosophies and goals of the International Baccalaureate’s Primary Years Programme (PYP). The PYP is an inquiry-based curriculum framework for children from 3–12 years old, and it combines current research practice from a range of national systems with the wealth of knowledge and experience from international schools. This programme, which is broken into six major units of study, was developed to meet the needs of internationally mobile students as well as those valuing international mindedness.
The PYP concentrates on the self-development of each student as well as academic goals. It is structured into trans-disciplinary themes. In this context, students research relevant concepts and develop and learn essential skills as well as corresponding attitudes. Furthermore, students learn a sense of responsibility and a gain wide range of knowledge.
Middle & Upper School
We believe each person is unique, especially during the critical transition phase of Middle School (grades 6 - 8). We create an environment where students can develop their talents and feel their contributions are valuable. Our commitment includes fostering cultural awareness and providing diverse experiences that promote understanding and appreciation of different backgrounds.
Upper School at the International School of Ulm/Neu-Ulm offers IGCSE and IB Diploma programmes for grades 9-12, preparing students for higher education. We provide guidance and support for university applications to German and international institutions. Each senior should also graduate with an ISU diploma, equivalent to a U.S. high school diploma, allowing them to obtain the "Mittlere Reife" in Germany, with all necessary IB requirements for government recognition met.
