We offer continuous education at all levels and under the same roof: reception programme, primary school and secondary school. Subjects are taught at all levels in German and English; however, bilingualism is not a prerequisite for admission to the school. At our secondary school, we prepare young people for the German Abitur and optionally, for the globally recognised International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma*.

Bilingual Reception Programme
The reception programme at SIS Kassel is intended for students from five to seven years of age and is affiliated to our primary school. In this reception programme the students are playfully introduced to the content of the primary school lessons, the routine and structure of a school day, so as to enable a smooth transition to the primary level.
