In brief
A small bilingual German-English primary in Munich-Pasing, run by the Münchner Schulstiftung Ernst v. Borries. Around 130 pupils, four-year Bavarian primary curriculum delivered with a longer day and a strong European focus.
Each classroom has three trained adults: a German-speaking teacher, an English-speaking teacher, and a pedagogical specialist who covers the all-day care. The day runs 8:30 to 4, which lets the school add more music, more English, and a Europe-themed subject on top of the Bavarian Lehrplan. Families who want bilingual instruction without committing to a fully international fee structure tend to land here.
The school has been recognised as MINT-friendly and placed fourth in the Munich School Prize in 2017. It is the feeder primary for the Schulstiftung's gymnasia, including Obermenzinger, which gives a clear pathway through to Abitur for families thinking long term. Pasing location matters: convenient for west-Munich families, less so for those settling east of the city.
