International School of Duesseldorf

International School of Duesseldorf was founded in 1968 and has over 40 years of experience with expatriate students and their families.

ISD was one of the first schools to be authorised for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme.

It is now an IB World School with the same IB philosophy throughout the school and with programmes for grades 6 to 10 (the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme) and for Reception to grade 5 (the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme). The International Baccalaureate (IB) curricula are transportable and students can often join other IB schools without any difficulty.

Classes are small and have an average of 16 to 18 students.

Well-qualified international teachers coming from 21 different countries and cultures are role-models by forming interdisciplinary teams.

To non-native students whose English is not strong enough to fully participate in class, ISD gives strong English as Second Language support.  A Mother Tongue program gives students the opportunity to continue to improve their mother tongue.

A Mentoring Program gives students and adults the opportunity to share interests, to gain confidence and to shine.We, the International School of Düsseldorf, believe it is important to provide our students, both local and international, with a challenging academic programme in a caring environment.

We aim to promote the development of the whole child and work closely and openly with parents to accomplish this.

We will encourage children to achieve their potential in all areas of learning.

We willingly accept the demands, high level of dedication, continuous evaluation and review necessary to achieve excellence.

We believe in the ideals of international understanding and responsible citizenship.
