Germany Schools
This is the online directory with the main schools in Germany that offer
an Education in English. The programmes vary from the International Baccalaureate
(I.B.) programme, which includes PYP, MYP and Diploma to the British GCSE
and GCE examination systems. All schools are required to satisfy the requirements
of the German national system.
International Baccalaureate
The International Baccalaureate Organization’s Diploma Programme was
created in 1968. It is a demanding pre-university course of study that
leads to examinations. It is designed for highly motivated secondary school
students aged 16 to 19. The programme has earned a reputation for rigorous
assessment, giving IB diploma holders access to the world’s leading
universities. The Diploma Programme’s grading system is criterion-referenced,
which means that each student’s performance is measured against well-defined
levels of achievement. These are consistent from one examination session
to the next and are applied equally to all schools.The IBO has shown,
over the course of 30 years, that students are well prepared for university
work. They are accepted by universities in more than 110 countries.
