International School of Bremen
The International School of Bremen (ISB) in Bremen - Horn-Lehe , Badgasteiner Straße 11 / Hochschulring , is a private, fee-based international school that orientates its educational goals, curricula and degrees to the foreign culture. It is the only school in north-west Germany where English is the language of instruction.
history
A group of forwarding and innovation thinkers intended to found an international school for Bremen since 1996 and formed a committee with representatives of the Senator for Education, the Bremen Chamber of Commerce , international companies, the business development agency and interested parents.
In 1998 the International School of Bremen was opened in Thomas-Mann-Straße with 40 to 60 students initially. The ISB was headed from 2005 to 2018 by the educator Malcolm Davis.
The rapidly increasing number of pupils in the one and two-class school with over 320 pupils from up to 40 different nations made a new building necessary, which was to be built on the premises of the University of Bremen . The three-storey building from 2011 was built according to plans by Thomas Klumpp , Bremen.
The headmaster has been Jamie Perfect since 2018.
aims
The ISB offers English-language training from kindergarten and preschool up to grade 12, which leads to exams with the Cambridge International General Certificate of Education (IGCSE) from the University of Cambridge and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP). The ISB is an IB World School and also a MINT-EC school (with MINT subjects ). The school has been recognized by the CfBT Education Trust (Center for British Teachers-UK) and the State of Bremen .
By 2022, the ISB wants to be a school with an inclusive curriculum based on the English language. She wants to involve families and friends as well as local communities.
