St. George's, the British International School Munich
Day school for ages 3 to 18 that opened in 2013, part of the St. George's Schools group with sister campuses in Cologne and Duesseldorf Rhein Ruhr.
In brief
Day school for ages 3 to 18 that opened in 2013, part of the St. George's Schools group with sister campuses in Cologne and Duesseldorf Rhein-Ruhr. Around 600 students, English National Curriculum through GCSE and A Level, with an IB Diploma route in the senior years.
The school took a 20-year lease on a new building in 2018 and moved in after construction completed in 2019. Curriculum runs the English National Curriculum from Pre-Nursery to Year 9, IGCSE at Key Stage 4, then A Level or IB. COBIS-affiliated through the Patrons membership.
Family feedback is unusually positive across the small public review pool. Parents describe motivated teachers, a culture of kindness, and strong individual support for non-native English speakers and students with learning differences including dyslexia. The head leadership comes in for specific praise. Day-only, no boarding, so geography matters: families generally settle within reasonable commute of the school's site.

Reviews
- Parents and aggregator reviews describe St George's as one of Munich's three commonly-shortlisted English-medium options alongside Munich International School (MIS) and Bavarian International School (BIS).
- Positive parent reviews cite motivated teachers, a culture of kindness, and children who are happy to attend, with several contrasting it favourably to a previous school.
- The school takes children from age 3, earlier than MIS at 4, which surfaces in posts from families needing pre-school continuity.
- Some posters frame it as the British-curriculum entry point in Munich, with the IB layered above; be specific with the school about which programme your child is on.
- Staff-side reviews flag management and communication concerns from teachers; this is teacher voice, not parent voice, but it can affect classroom continuity.
- Operated as part of the wider St George's British International School group with sister campuses elsewhere in Germany. Reputation does not transfer between sites.
Positives
- British curriculum plus IB pathway. Parents value English-medium British-curriculum primary feeding into IB Diploma at senior level.
- Positive parent voice on teachers. Reviews single out motivated teachers and a kind, respectful school culture.
- Early entry from age 3. Takes children from age 3, useful for families needing pre-school continuity that MIS does not offer.
Considerations
- Listed alongside MIS and BIS. Munich threads consistently shortlist St George's as one of three serious English-medium options. Comparison shopping is normal.
- Staff-side concerns on management. Teacher reviews flag management and communication issues; parents may want to ask about turnover.
- Group affiliation. Part of the St George's British International School group; do not transfer reputation from other campuses.
