For Agents
Leipzig International School offers an
Students become part of our international learning community, with the opportunity to complete the IB Diploma Programme, while living in our boarding house in Plagwitz, just a short walk from school.
Our approach gives young people increasing independence and responsibility, with the people and support of the boarding team and wider LIS community around them.
IB Diploma Programme
An internationally recognised qualification opening pathways to universities in Germany and around the world.
Independent boarding for 16+
A different approach to boarding, giving older students increasing responsibility for their everyday lives and preparing them for what comes next.
A small boarding community
A maximum of 36 students, with single and double rooms and generous shared spaces.
An international learning community
Boarders become part of LIS, learning alongside students and staff from around the world.
Leipzig
A lively, green university city with music, art, culture, sport, parks, canals and lakes — and a great place for young people to begin finding their own way.
More than academics
Music, sport, art, theatre, leadership, service, clubs and activities give students different ways to find their place, follow their interests and grow.
Why LIS for your students
We know every student and family is different. LIS Boarding is a good fit for families looking for an international education in Germany and a different approach to traditional boarding.
- Do you work with families looking for the IB Diploma Programme in Germany?
- Do you have students aged 16+ who are ready for more independence?
- Are your families looking for a small boarding community while still wanting the opportunities of a larger international school?
- Would your students enjoy living in a real city and neighbourhood rather than on an isolated boarding campus?
At LIS, students have adults around them and clear expectations, but their lives aren’t organised for them from morning to night.
For the right young person, that’s exactly the point.
