Parents who are looking for more than just lessons will find in Leipzig International School (LIS) a place where education is reliable, ambitious, and forward-thinking. At LIS, quality matters – not only in the classroom, but also in the way we care for our students and build our community every day.
No Cancelled Lessons
While many schools struggle with staff shortages and cancelled classes, LIS offers stability. Our fully staffed, committed teaching teams and dedicated pool of substitute teachers ensure that learning continues without interruption. Education needs consistency and we provide it.
Teaching in English
All lessons are taught in English, opening international perspectives from an early age. Students who are not native English speakers receive targeted support through our EAL and GAL* programmes.
This allows children to develop strong language skills with confidence – supported, not overwhelmed.
* EAL: English as an Additional Language, GAL: German as an Additional Language
Individual Feedback Instead of Grades (in Primary School)
In primary school, we focus on meaningful feedback rather than simply giving grades. Clear learning goals and weekly insights into progress help children understand their development and give parents transparency. Learning becomes structured, visible, and personally guided.
Small Classes, Personal Attention
Our small class sizes are a key advantage. Every child is seen, challenged, and supported. In addition to our teachers, our after-school educators assist within the classroom. If needed, we provide targeted learning support – quickly, professionally and individually – to ensure lasting success.
Social and Emotional Wellbeing
A child’s wellbeing is just as important as academic achievement. Three school psychologists and two school nurses support our students throughout their school day. We create a safe and respectful environment where children feel valued because this is the foundation for real learning.
Responsible Use of Technology and AI
LIS also sets high standards in digital learning. Under the guidance of our Learning Technology Support Specialist, digital tools and Artificial Intelligence are integrated thoughtfully and purposefully into lessons. Students learn to use AI responsibly not as a shortcut, but as a tool for creative and critical thinking. Technology supports our curriculum; it does not replace it.
A Broad and Inspiring Curriculum
Learning at LIS is diverse and engaging. Alongside Mathematics, English, and German, students explore Art, Music, Ethics, and Sports. They take part in research projects, Science Weeks, and STEAM activities, and regularly present during school assemblies. From Primary through Secondary School, our curriculum is carefully designed to build step by step with one clear goal: confident, capable young people.
A Wide Range of After-School Activities
The school day does not end at lunchtime. Our all-day programme from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm is included in the school fees. Students can choose from a wide range of afternoon activities – from robotics and chess to theatre and sports. This encourages creativity, teamwork and individual talents.
An International Community
What truly makes LIS special is its international school community. Students, families and staff from many different countries and cultures shape everyday life at our school. This diversity enriches learning, broadens perspectives, strengthens intercultural understanding and creates a strong sense of belonging. Children grow up in an environment that connects people and naturally opens global horizons.
LIS is more than a school. It is a reliable, international learning environment with high standards, clear structures, and genuine personal support. If you are looking for a school that values quality, offers stability and prepares young people confidently for their future, LIS is the right choice. Here, questions turn into ideas and ideas turn into the future.
