summer@iss
Thank you for your interest in the International School of Stuttgart (ISS). Our school was founded in 1985 and has grown steadily ever since. Today, more than 800 students representing around 50 different nationalities are educated on two separate campuses, one situated in Stuttgart Degerloch and one situated in Sindelfingen, both offering outstanding education to internationally minded families in the Stuttgart region.
ISS is a fully accredited IB World School, offering three IB programmes, PYP, MYP and DP. Every year we welcome many new internationally mobile families to Stuttgart and to our school, helping them to transition and to integrate as quickly as possible.
Our admissions policy is one of openness and all applications are considered on their individual merit. We welcome applications from all students regardless of gender, ethnicity or religion.
Please take time to read and familiarize yourself with our school and the admissions procedure. Admission requests for both campuses are administered from the Degerloch Campus. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need further information. You can contact us by using our inquiry form, by email or by telephone.
We are looking forward to hearing from you and to assisting you in the process of discovering our school and applying for a place at ISS.
Yours,
