The Frankfurt International School in Germany
 The Frankfurt International School (FIS), was
founded in 1961, is an independent,
coeducational day school, which offers an
educational program from playschool, pre-primary
through grade 12 for students of all
nationalities. FIS is organized into four school
divisions: the Primary Division, the Elementary
Division, and the Upper School in Oberursel, and
the International School Wiesbaden (ISW) which
operates as a branch of FIS at a separate campus
in Wiesbaden.
The main (Waldlust) campus in Oberursel, about
15 kilometers from downtown Frankfurt, houses
the Elementary School starting with grade 2, and
the Upper School. The Primary Division, with
classes from age three through grade 1, is
located on the main campus, in the Hohemark
section, seperated by woods but merely a 5
minute walk within the campus to the elementary
and upper division. Programs for children aged 3
to 11 (through grade 6) are offered at the ISW
campus.
There are currently over 1750 students from 55
different countries attending FIS and ISW,
including 31% American, 17% German, 12% British,
5% Japanese, 6% Korean. The annual turnover of
expatriate pupils ranges between 20% of the
total student body.
FIS is recognised as an allgemeinbildende
Ergänzungsschule. FIS is accredited by the
Council of International Schools (UK) and the
New England Association of Schools & Colleges,
and is a member school of the International
Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). FIS is a
registered examination center for the
International Baccalaureate (IB), the American
College Board Entrance Examinations (SAT), and

English is the primary language of instruction
and English as a Second Language (ESL) support
is available for all students who need it.
German courses, at a variety of levels, are
available in all grades and required of
virtually every student. Native German students
and legal residents of Germany are required to
follow German courses for the length of their
stay at FIS.

have reached a pre-established proficiency
standard may opt out of the German program in
favor of one or more additional languages
including French or Spanish. The school also
offers a First Language Program in a limited
range of languages from grades 2 to 12.
