Nestled in the charming district of Alt-Bogenhausen alongside the English Garden, Primary School at Phorms Munich offers your child the opportunity to learn in both German and English. In a warm and welcoming atmosphere, our students develop not only a strong academic foundation but also curiosity, empathy, and persistence.
At our modern and centrally-located campus, we foster an inspiring environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Through our bilingual concept and immersive hands-on approach, we accompany curious explorers on their journey, nurturing not only language skills, but also creativity, joy, and connection. For a future that opens every door - worldwide."
With two teachers in every class, we ensure that each child receives the attention and support they need to find their feet in a bilingual school environment. Both German and English are used equally as everyday languages.
Our campus is more than just a place for learning. It is a space for discovery, experience, and connection. From 8.00 am to 6.30 pm, it is open to our students, offering an inspiring environment where knowledge grows, and community is strengthened every day.
Our passionate and highly qualified teachers ensure that children enjoy coming to Phorms every day. With innovative and diverse teaching methods and a focus on differentiated learning, we create an individualised and inspiring environment that sparks curiosity, builds confidence, and nurtures a lifelong love of learning.
We are a German-English educational institution teaching according to the Bavarian Lehrplan Plus, while also drawing on selected international curricula such as Cambridge Primary. Our primary school is state-recognised and an accredited Cambridge International School.
Thanks to our low student-to-teacher ratio and a close-knit faculty, there is plenty of room for cross-curricular, cross-classroom teamwork and projects. Students learn to take initiative while working collaboratively.
Through additional learning opportunities, students are encouraged to explore scientific and mathematical phenomena in greater depth. Within all year groups, selected students participate in special interdisciplinary projects and extracurricular competitions.
