What Makes Phorms Munich Special?  

Location and Surroundings

Our school is located in one of Munich's most beautiful residential areas – in the green and peaceful Bogenhausen neighbourhood. Bordering the campus, the English Garden beckons our community in for exercise, to experience nature, and to relax. The area combines urban life with a high quality of life and safety – ideal conditions for school. Thanks to its central location, the campus is easily accessible by public transport, bicycle or car.

Bilingual K-12 Programme

At Phorms Campus Munich, children experience continuous, bilingual education from crèche to Abitur. Whether in crèche, kindergarten, state-recognised primary school or state-recognised secondary school: lessons and everyday life are conducted in German and English. This holistic approach promotes the linguistic and personal development of our students throughout their entire educational journey. 

German and English immersion

Children acquire new languages most effectively through immersion, as it encourages learning by engaging in real-life experiences and practical use. They communicate in German and English every day in- and outside of the classroom, supported by native-speaking faculty. Over the years, this creates a natural familiarity with both languages. By the end of their school years, they speak both languages fluently – the ideal foundation for their future success. 

International Community and Cultural Openness

Phorms Campus Munich cultivates a warm, familial atmosphere in which every child is welcome. True to our motto "Local Schools – Global Education," our school is characterised by its international community and cultural openness.

All-day Care

Our campus is a place full of opportunities where your child can feel at home from 8:15 am to 6:30 pm. Outside of the school day, we offer a community that strengthens friendships and provides space for personal development. With our mosaic of afternoon and holiday programmes in primary school, your child can discover new passions in science, sport, art or music. 

Individual Support

At Phorms Munich, your child’s growth and gifts take centre stage. Small class sizes, a high teacher-to-student ratio and supportive teaching assistants in primary school ensure that every child receives specialised, individual attention. In addition, many activities both inside and outside the classroom help students discover and develop their talents. Our experienced faculty accompany students with warmth and care, creating an environment in which they can fully develop their strengths.

Joyful Learning

Our teaching team is passionate and committed to ensuring that every student enjoys coming to school. They use a variety of teaching methods to make learning an exciting experience. Small groups and classes allow plenty of time for individual support, joint discovery, and exciting projects in which children can learn from each other.

We Are a Strong Community. 

At our school, we experience every day how students, parents, and teachers collaboratively create a unique atmosphere of trust and togetherness. This strong sense of community lies at the heart of our school and ensures that everyone feels valued and seen.«
