Academics and Programs at EBGIS | EBIHS

From Preschool through High School – Global Learning Starts Here

At EBGIS | EBIHS, we offer a full continuum of challenging, inquiry-based academic programs from Preschool through Grade 12. Grounded in the International Baccalaureate (IB) framework and guided by our mission to nurture globally competent, multilingual learners, our curriculum promotes critical thinking, intercultural understanding, and personal growth.

Our students don’t just learn subjects—they learn how to learn, how to lead, and how to connect knowledge across languages and cultures. Our Early Childhood through Grade 8 programs are enriched by a unique dual-language immersion model in German and English, with French and Spanish added in middle school and multiple pathways to the prestigious Bilingual IB Diploma in high school.

We invite you to explore each of our academic programs and offerings below:

Early Childhood Program (Preschool & Kindergarten)

Our Early Childhood Program immerses children in German and English from their very first day, nurturing natural curiosity through play-based exploration and project-driven learning. Educators support social-emotional growth, creativity, and foundational language development in a warm, multilingual environment. Children build confidence, joy in learning, and a strong sense of self and community.
