IntroductIon BY the chaIr and head oF SchooL
A Welcome from our Chair and Head of School
It is our pleasure to present to you the 2014 Annual Report of Munich
International School. We are pleased to report on a successful year
in terms of academic results, development of our extracurricular
programme, stable finances and expansion of our facilities.
At the end of the last School year 2013/2014, we had 1205 students from 58 countries, supported by 204 members of
faculty and staff. In an international community it is normal to experience turnover throughout the year as families relocate
for work related reasons, but this summer it was exceptionally high, partially offset by record numbers of new admissions.
Enrolment in December 2014 was 1183, which is relatively low, but recovered by February 2015 to over 1200. We continue to
monitor the enrolment situation closely and are communicating the School’s strengths more widely. We are an independent,
non-profit community School; we have many years of experience in providing a holistic, international education; we have
high quality faculty and a beautiful campus; and we have a vibrant community of local and international families.
Our class of 2014 with 95 students delivered strong results. We are proud of the 95% participation rate in the IB Diploma;
although the programme has the reputation of being challenging, we firmly believe that it is accessible to all students
and we prepare our students well for it. 94% of participants passed, with an average score of 33.7, compared to a world
average of 29.8. Our students received places from many prestigious universities worldwide. In the Middle School, much
effort went into completing the work as a pilot school selected by the IB Organisation for the Next Chapter of the Middle
Years Programme. In the Junior School the emphasis was on implementing our refined mathematics scope and sequence.
Outside of the classroom, our extensive after school activities and competitive sports programmes continue to strengthen
and expand. They are an integral part of the holistic education at Munich International School.
The School’s financial results were satisfactory. For the fiscal year ending July 2014, tuition and technology fees plus other
minor sources of revenue generated € 20.1m, compared to operating expenses of € 26.7m. Including government grants
and entrance fees from new enrolments, whose purpose is to help fund capital and strategic investments, net € 0.9m was
generated, which was used to fund campus expansion. The cash outflow for facilities expansion increased significantly this
year with the completion of the track and field and the near completion of the new building. Total cost of these two projects,
which are in budget, is € 14m. We have thus far prudently avoided taking on long-term debt, and are reliant on maintaining
operating surpluses and receiving donations to pay for these investments and to rebuild our reserves.
The opening ceremony of the track and field in May was one of the highlights of the year, as the community came
together to celebrate. The facility has hosted many sporting events since, and been much appreciated by users and
spectators. The new arts, design and languages building with over 30 classrooms will be completed in May 2015.
With its contemporary architecture designed to promote collaboration, it will transform the learning spaces available
to students.
In May our current Head of School, Simon Taylor, announced his departure for the end of July 2015 after five years
at MIS. The Board led the search for his successor, and with community support, screened and interviewed candidates
internationally. In October it was announced that the current Deputy Head of School, Timothy Thomas, will be the next
Head of School. Timothy has been at Munich International School since August 2013, knows the School well and will be
able to maintain continuity and progress. We remain committed to our mission of achieving Excellence in Education for
Globally-Minded Students.

Our Exceptional Campus and Community Continues to Grow
Munich International School has undergone a year of expansion and growth. Our
beautiful, learning-focused campus has expanded through the addition of a world-class
8-lane track and athletics field. Additionally, our new arts, design and languages building
has taken shape and is preparing to host classes beginning in August 2015.
the people and families that comprise Munich International School are a vibrant
mix of nationalities who contribute cultural, linguistic and social diversity to the life of
the School. as of december 2014, our community boasted students from 58 differ-
ent countries and faculty and staff from 26.

Our Junior School
In the Junior School of Munich International
School we strive to fulfil the School’s Mission to
achieve educational excellence for globally-minded
children aged four years to grade 4 (approximately
ten years of age). We pursue the International Bac-
calaureate Primary Years Programme and offer tar-
geted support to students in developing language
competence (English and German) and academic
skills necessary to cope with and thrive in a rigorous
academic environment.
We enhance and enrich our offerings through participation in local programmes, like the grade four bicycle safety course
provided by law enforcement officials from Starnberg. these classes teach students the rules of the road in our Bavarian setting
and help them develop the understandings and skills to ride defensively, responsibly and safely.
our students also enjoy many cultural celebrations and traditions
through assemblies that bring both local German and an array of
international customs to our students. our students learned about
and celebrated oktoberfest and Saint Martin’s day, developing their
understanding of Bavarian and German cultural traditions. they
participated in vibrant celebrations of the Lunar new Year complete
with singing, dancing and exhibitions of east asian arts and cultures.
our students also witnessed the traditional Irish art of storytelling
through a visit by renowned storyteller, niall de Burca. With more
than 35 nationalities represented among students in the Junior
School, we enjoy sharing and learning about cultures from around
the world.

Our Middle School
All teachers and students in grades five through eight have been working hard on the implementation of the IB’s new
Next Chapter of the MYP. There are significant changes in the way that we prepare for teaching and learning in each unit:
• Global contexts provide real world connections for the concepts being learned and are synthesized with key and related
concepts to produce a statement of inquiry which generates the factual, conceptual and debatable questions that drive
each instructional unit. of course we are still teaching content, as well as the concepts that facilitate enduring learning.
• Approaches to learning (atL) assumes greater importance, as teachers continue to help students to ‘learn how to learn’.
• Service As Action has taken the place of community & Service as the requirement for student action and service becomes
more connected to classroom learning and expands to include research, advocacy and service.
• InpreparationforeAssessment in grade 10, there will be more emphasis on interdisciplinary learning as students get used
to concept-based assessments.
• Increased standardisation of assessment and grading across classes and subjects will help students and parents better
understand academic requirements.
all subjects now have four criteria and each criterion always has a 0-8 scale.
our heavy involvement in the pilots for the next chapter puts
us far ahead of most MYP schools and, in grade 5, we are on the
cutting-edge of MYP transition development. We are in the third and
final year of phasing-in MYPt; focusing on mathematics and report-
ing, as we put on the finishing touches.
co-curricular trips were again among the highlights of the year:
the grade 5 to Berchtesgaden, grade 6 to rothenburg and Legoland
Mindstorm, grade 7 to the Buchheim Museum and BMW, and grade
8 to ahrntal in Süd tirol. on-campus events included geocaching for
grade 6, the BMW project for grade 7, as well as their overnight on
the School campus as they helped the Parent teacher Verein set-up
for Frühlingsfest.
this year we christened our new 8-lane track with our first on-
campus Sports day. this is, indeed, a milestone in the history of MIS!
the Sport Verein deserves recognition for their contributions of time,
effort and money to this incredible project. We now have an excep-
tional and world-class facility for outdoor sports competitions.

Our Senior School
The Senior School at MIS provides students in grades 9 through 12 the opportunity to complete the IB Middle Years Programme
(including qualification for the German mittleren Bildungsabschluss) and embark on the rigorous, enriching and highly regarded
IB Diploma Programme. Well over 90% of MIS students engage in the full IB Diploma Programme, a level that is exceptional among
IB World Schools. Even more extraordinary is that well over 90% of those students succeed in achieving the full IB Diploma and many
of those students achieve the full German Allgemeine Hochschulreife.
Of course, academic excellence is just part of our mission. An array of challenging, enriching and rewarding artistic, athletic and service opportunities form an indispensible dimension of the MIS experience.
Highlights from 2014 include:
– Visits by leading artists, intellectuals, artists and activities
through the support of the MIS Foundation, including:
– Four days of performances and individual workshops with
poet Taylor Mali
– A week-long residency of American painter,
Karen Anna Myers
– Performances by Irish storyteller, Niall de Burca
– Three days of small group sessions with artist and environ-
mentalist, Chris Jordan
– Arts Day 2014 with over 30 musicians, artists and perform-
ers who engaged students in exploring a wide range of
artistic activities
– Speech and Debate tournaments in Berlin and Düsseldorf
at which MIS students competed successfully with students
from across Europe (three gold, four silver and two bronze
medals)
– Our varsity boys basketball team who made history by
winning the division one title for the first time.

PISA Comparison: Grade 8 Mathematics
Grade 8 mathematics results are the basis for many
elements of the PISa (Programme for International
Student Assessment) study. the grade 8 mathematics
results for MIS in 2014 (International Schools assessment)
show that MIS’ students performed at a level that is com-
parable to the best systems in the world and far better
than any system in europe.
IB Diploma Results: 2014
the students of the class of 2014
achieved the record to date for
the highest IB diploma point
average in the history of the
School: 33.7 (global diploma
point average was 29.8).

Academic Results of Students at MIS
Assessment data provide teachers, administrators, parents and students with valuable feedback on student learning and achieve-
ment. Tests do not tell the whole story and we are mindful that student progress will take many forms, particularly with regard to very
important “soft” skills, like self-management, character development and collaborative skills. Assessment feedback on student progress
at MIS in 2014 reveals strong academic growth and impressive work by both students and teachers.

University Counselling
Which university is the right fit for each unique student? That is the
question the Senior School Guidance Team helps students answer as they
work their way towards graduation and beyond. Beginning in grade 9
with personality inventories and assistance in selecting elective courses,
each year contains activities aimed at helping students discover and focus
their passions and dreams. In grade 10 ample time is set aside for explor-
ing careers, culminating in a three-week work experience. Students also
carefully select courses for the IB DP programme that best fit their talents
and goals. University research and the application process are the major
themes for grades 11 and 12, including a variety of SAT/ACT test prepara-
tion options, university visits and fairs throughout the year, combined with
plenty of personalized consultation. MIS students receive a wide variety of
offers from universities around the world.
Counselling Services
university and career guidance is just one component in the suite of counselling services offered to students at MIS. We
strive to meet the needs of international students and their families with support and guidance for academic concerns, social,
emotional and self-management needs. counsellors act as a bridge between teachers, parents and students and help equip
students with tools that will empower them to manage the competing demands of school and life as an international student
participating in a rigorous academic programme.

After School Activities
The co-curricular activities programme at MIS encompasses a vibrant array of arts, clubs and non-competitive sports, providing a wide
range of opportunities for students to make friends, strengthen their academic work, develop new skills and interests and nurture individual
talents. The scope of activities offered, the quality of the teachers and activity leaders, and the beautiful campus combine to create an extraordi-
nary experience.
our stunning campus, surrounded by fields and forests above Lake Starnberg, provides us with an incomparable setting for
outdoor activities and ample space for our olympic-sized track, sports fields, tennis courts and extensive green space. We take full
advantage of this healthy environment with courses like nature Skills club, tree climbing, track and Field and Photography, to name a
few. alpine views and fresh air contribute to the inspiring atmosphere, creating an ideal setting for creativity, innovation, physical activ-
ity and play.
2014 brought more activities than ever to the programme, including tree climbing, children’s Book Illustration, capoeira, and
Ballroom and contemporary dance.
The Arts
the arts programme highlights the talents and skills of MIS students in theatre, visual arts, music and dance. opportunities to learn
visual arts include classes in illustrations, painting, drawing, ceramics, craft, design, and photography.
Performing arts activities include music ensemble classes of strings, bands, choirs, genres of classical and contemporary dance, and
two theatre productions a year. the premiere of the MIS Symphony orchestra in december was an historic highlight of 2014.
Students have opportunities to participate in concerts and productions at MIS as well as special events and festivals in Germany
and abroad. MIS’s membership in aMIS (association for Music in International Schools), and ISta (International School theater associa-
tion), provide an opportunity for exploration, collaboration and access to professionals from beyond our school.

Athletics
competitive team sports play an important role in the development of teamwork skills, individual physical strength, stamina and
coordination and the desirable dispositions of persistence, discipline and hard work. the challenges of athletic competition comple-
ment the rigors of academics and are critical to the balanced development of our students. MIS athletics comprises teams from a
broad range of sports from grade 4-12 that compete successfully in some of europe’s most competitive and demanding tournaments
and leagues. the school is a member of the International School Sports Tournaments (ISSt) which is comprised of 24 member
schools from three continents and the Sports Council for International School (ScIS) that has 12 member schools from central/
eastern europe.
a small selection of athletics highlights from 2014 includes:
• Varsity Boys Basketball: champions of ISSt division 1 (highest division), ScIS championship, champions of under-20
regional league of Bavaria.
• MIS Ski Team: Won the heinrich harrer cup on the 40th anniversary of this popular and historic competition.
• Inauguration of new, eight-lane track & field facility with first-ever 12-school ISSt championship hosted on an
international school campus.

Student and Parent Surveys 2014
The MIS Board and administration conduct regular surveys to elicit feedback from our community to determine areas of excellence
and areas for improvement.
the most recent survey was conducted in March 2014 and included feedback from 230 parents, 828 students and 146 members
of faculty & staff. a selection of the most important findings follows:

Financial Situation: “Snapshot” of School Year 2013-2014
One goal of our not-for-profit school is to secure long term financial health. The figures in this Annual Report represent a “snapshot” of the
School´s financial status on the 31st of July 2014, in accordance with the audit conducted by PSP. The numbers, particularly in terms of assets,
fluctuate throughout the year in accordance with the billing and expense cycles. PSP has issued an unqualified audit opinion that the combina-
tion of stable enrolment, effective cost management and carefully chosen investment priorities has led to a healthy financial result.
the most significant portion of the School’s revenue comes from student tuition fees. Much smaller, but still significant, sources
of income include student transportation fees and entrance fees.

Development
2014 saw the launch of exciting community fundraising initiatives:
Buy a Brick, Build Your Legacy
contributors can personalize a brick which will be displayed permanently on School grounds in a Path of Memories
outside the Schloss. So many students, parents, faculty, staff, friends and visitors pass through the doors at MIS, and this is an
opportunity to capture that experience, and leave a small legacy.
Trees, Benches and Landscaping Elements in Connection with our New Building
around our new arts and languages building trees, outdoor seating and other decorative landscaping elements
are being sponsored by members of the School community.
the fundraising campaign for the € 14m new building/track and field project remains open and is particularly important
at a time when cash outflows are increasing as the building nears completion. as of december 2014, donations for the capital
campaign amounted to € 0.7m. It is planned to dedicate a plaque in the new building to recognize significant donors (in excess
of € 10,000), but we are grateful for all contributions, both large and small.
We are an independent, not-for-profit institution and the importance of donations to the School cannot be underestimated.
While income from fees covers running costs, the generosity of donors enables the School to further invest in innovation
and expansion. For more information on giving at MIS, please contact our head of School, a member of the Board or our admis-
sions and communications director, amanda crawley ([email protected]), or visit our website under community/Giving
at MIS.
three related, but independent, Vereine (associations) support excellence at MIS through regular contributions.

Building For Exellence
For almost 50 years Munich International School has pursued its mission of excellence in education for generations of students and
families. We know that students are more likely to engage positively with School when they feel welcome and comfortable in the School
environment. Our master plan for campus development was initiated in 2006 and will be revised in 2015.
It includes the new, purpose-built home of the arts, design and languages for the Middle and Senior School. Munich Interna-
tional School has invested over € 12 million of its own funds to create this contemporary and functional setting that offers active
learning opportunities both inside and outside of the 30 new classrooms. the school building project will be completed by May
2015 and will provide a range of different learning spaces where students and teachers will engage with important concepts,
skills and knowledge supported by exceptional facilities.
The new school building will contribute to the creation of a community of international learners

other recently completed elements of the master plan include our new 8-lane track, new football field and the refreshed
cafeteria and parent lounge. Potential future investments include the refurbishment of the current Senior School building,
including the library and science laboratories, renovation of the Schloss and landscaping of our campus. this ambitious building
and refurbishment programme for our not-for-profit School is feasible only through continued strong student enrolment and
the invaluable support of MIS donors and volunteers.
