Learning
At Leipzig International School we offer a dynamic, multi-cultural and multi-lingual international learning environment from Nursery to Grade 12. We are laying the foundation for all future successes of our learners and building a strong foundation for academic and personal growth in an inspirational setting.
Through our wide variety of learning experiences and our strong language programme, we equip our learners to become expressive communicators, thinkers, inventors and leaders. In our rich, diverse and inclusive community we empower today’s learners to make meaningful impacts in tomorrow’s world.
In a dual language setting with a One Teacher One Language approach (OTOL) children in our nursery are encouraged to speak both English and German. They are naturally developing social and emotional as well as self-care skills in a dynamic and nurturing educational environment.

Kindergartens
Leipzig International Kindergarten
Through experiential learning with field trips, visits from community members or forest walks we encourage natural curiosity and enable individual development through our specialised Music, Sport, Art and German programmes. At Leipzig International Kindergarten we provide a warm, caring and childcentred environment with a high-quality, innovative, international learning framework to ensure the best possible start in life for your child.
Käferhaus
The Käferhaus Kindergarten offers a friendly, German speaking learning environment in homogeneous age groups. We spend a lot of time outside in our large, purpose built play area and in the neighbouring forest where the children experience nature first hand, get exercise and fresh air.
Primary
In our Primary Programme we cultivate courageous young learners who are interested in the world and their role in it. We incorporate the natural curiosity of young students in our curriculum and emphasize critical thinking, entrepreneurial skills, problem solving and interdisciplinary learning. We offer experiential learning through:

Middle School
In our specifically tailored Middle School Programme (Grades 6 – 8) we allow our learners to explore broadly and discover their individual preferences and strengths. To further conceptual understanding, our curriculum connects learning to real-life experiences and encourages our learners to take appropriate risks, allowing (self)reflection, building self-esteem and motivating them to achieve success in and beyond school.

- through small classes, allowing for individual care and attention.
