It provides an academic, social and physical education in English that promotes the development of responsible, global citizens who are prepared for our ever-changing world. The City Bremen is located in the north of Germany. Its city centre reflects a rich medieval trading background, while its modern industrial base draws high tech business that supports the image of Germany's 'Space City'. A public and private university creates a strong academic tradition of which the ISB is part. The School ISB is a private, coeducational, college-preparatory, English-speaking school. It was established in 1998 to serve students of the international community of Bremen providing an educational alternative to the German State system. Presently our students and staff represent 42 countries from across the world. Class sizes are generally small with an average of 18 students per grade. The school occupies a purpose-built facility in the Technology Park adjacent to the University Bremen. ISB is a non-selective school, however SEN support is limited. Faculty The dedicated and experienced teachers at ISB come from a number of countries (Australia, Germany, India, The Netherlands, Canada, Spain, United Kingdom, South Africa, Burma and USA). The members of our teaching staff are certified according to the standards of their home countries. Many of our teachers hold Master Degrees or Doctorates. Membership & Accreditation The School is a member of CfBT, ECIS, CIS and IBO and is accredited by the State of Bremen, Germany. The Curriculum Students range in age from 3-19 years.
