“We are truly grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Leipzig International School community. Our three children were welcomed with great warmth and care, including especially thoughtful English-language support for our youngest, and they all quickly connected with kind, knowledgeable, and inspiring teachers. Our children are genuinely happy to come to school each day. The onboarding process felt personal and reassuring, with outstanding support from the admissions team throughout.“
"Our children are better prepared for life after school compared to students from public schools because they excel in critical thinking, independent research and possess strong social skills. They naturally grow up with intercultural tolerance, which optimally prepares them for life in a globalized world.”
“Our daughter in Grade 4 has settled beautifully at LIS and genuinely enjoys coming to school each day. The academic programme is engaging and well balanced, and we’ve been impressed by the individual attention and support she receives. The admissions and onboarding process was smooth, welcoming and very reassuring for our family.”
We especially value the idea of learning as a journey, an adventure guided by attentive and inspiring educators. From our very first contact with Dana and Steffi in Admissions, we felt genuine support. My daughter is truly in awe of LIS. She feels calm and safe at school, and I can clearly see how she has changed. She has learned to ask questions — to herself and to the world around her. “Why is it this way?” “What does this mean?” Watching this inner curiosity unfold is deeply inspiring to me as a mother.
"What I love about LIS is the energy. There’s real engagement between students, teachers and parents, and so many opportunities to be involved in school life. It’s a dynamic, forward-looking community that’s never just content with the status quo and is always striving to grow.”

“The admissions and onboarding process at LIS School in summer 2025 felt very personal and supportive. Our daughter was guided with great care, and the warm-hearted attitude of everyone involved made her feel welcome from the very beginning.”
"The school respects each child’s personality and encourages them to think, explore, and learn with curiosity. Teachers guide students kindly, and the close connection between families and the school creates a caring, supportive community.”
LIS has a warm and friendly atmosphere where our son was able to make friends, study successfully and participate in engaging after-school activities. The school also provides strong support for students who face academic challenges, which greatly helped his confidence and emotional well-being.
We are very grateful to LIS for its dedicated teachers and the wonderful, supportive school environment.
“We have appreciated the supportive and attentive environment at Leipzig International School, particularly for younger students. Communication with teachers has been clear and responsive, and we value how concerns are addressed when they arise. Overall, LIS has provided a reassuring and caring learning environment for our child so far.”

As parents who have put other children through schools in different global contexts, LIS is undoubtedly the most pleasant for us. The academic experience for learners is anchored in self-discovery, intrinsic motivation and endless opportunities for development. Generally, the quality of education in LIS is not only excellent but is equally tailored towards enabling the students experience education as an exciting journey towards self-actualization.

“From the start, LIS has been a place where our children are truly known and cared for. The structured yet nurturing environment challenges and supports them, while attentive teachers foster curiosity, confidence, and growth. The smooth, welcoming admissions and onboarding process made settling into the school community feel natural and reassuring for our whole family.”

“We recently moved to LIS from another private school in Leipzig, and the difference has been remarkable. The strong sense of community is truly special, and the whole staff are dedicated, patient and attentive to each child’s individual needs and strengths. The children are respected and encouraged to think critically and be creative every day. Most importantly, both our daughter and son genuinely love going to school, which means the world to us.”
