A bilingual German-English campus in Munich-Altperlach combining kindergarten, primary and gymnasium under one roof on an immersion model with native-speaker teachers. Founded 2013.

The campus runs four institutions on a shared pedagogical concept: kindergarten, after-school care, a state-approved primary, and a gymnasium with an all-day rhythm. Lunches are eaten alongside teachers and break times include climbing walls, trampolines and unicycles, which families consistently single out as something their children love.

Parent voice is mostly positive on the bilingual approach, the small-school feel and easy communication with staff. Teachers respond quickly to learning issues. Two recurring caveats sit underneath the praise: the bridge to public Gymnasium has not been entirely smooth for some families when it comes to German writing standards, and there are scattered complaints about management style. For families who want immersion bilingualism inside the Bavarian system rather than a full international fee model, it is one of the more interesting options in southeast Munich.


  • Bilingual German-English campus in Munich-Altperlach pairing a German-speaking and an English-speaking lead teacher in each primary class. Languages run in parallel rather than translation.
  • Class size capped around 25, with kindergarten, Hort, Grundschule and Gymnasium under one roof.
  • Parent comments lean positive on the bilingual model. One parent described the kindergarten programme as "innovative" and noted that the school continues into Grundschule and Gymnasium.
  • A small but uniformly positive pool of parent reviews exists, with parents flagging Covid-19 management and Ukraine support as standout moments.
  • Independent signal volume is modest. Most parent voices come from the school's own community; broader expat parent coverage is light.

Positives

  • Bilingual immersion model. Two lead teachers per class, one German and one English, running in parallel rather than translating.
  • All-through campus. Kindergarten, primary, Hort and Gymnasium on one site appeals to families wanting continuity.

Considerations

  • Independent signal volume. Small review pool; most positive voices come from the school's own community.
