WELCOME TO REGENSBURG INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL 
                                                         

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the website of Regensburg International School.

The children's education and well-being are at the heart of everything we do at RIS. We want our children to learn, to learn with pleasure and enthusiasm. We want them to understand what they are learning, and we are committed to developing children's inquiring minds, so that they can think critically and creatively.

In October 2009 RIS became a candidate school for the Primary Years Programme (PYP) of the IB. We are now in our trial implementation phase, which is required as part of the application process for authorization to offer the PYP and become an IB World School. This school year, we have had our pre-authorization visit from the IB. It went well, and we will be applying for our authorization visit in spring 2013.

In some years, as the school grows, we plan to pursue authorization for the IB Diploma Programme. This leads to a qualification that is recognized by leading universities around the world.

We believe that parent participation is critical and we look forward to working with all our parents and developing a strong partnership to support the intellectual, personal, social and emotional growth of their children.

If you are considering RIS as a possibility for your child and would like to know more about the school, please do not hesitate to make an appointment with me at any time, to talk about the education we offer and to see the school 'in action'.

With warm regards,

Fiona Kalinowski
Head of School
