IT’S OFFICIAL!

CIS Becomes An IB Continuum School!

Cologne International School is proud to announce its official designation as an International Baccalaureate (IB) Continuum School, offering the full spectrum of IB programmes for students aged 5 – 18: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP). 

After a rigorous five year process, we received MYP authorization in December, marking a new chapter in our school’s development that underscores our commitment to educational excellence.

We are only the 3rd school in NRW to offer the complete IB Continuum, and the 15th in Germany as a whole. 

We are honored to join this distinguished group of schools, offering a world-renowned international educational journey for our students throughout their school career, fostering their development as inquisitive, knowledgeable, and caring young individuals prepared to thrive in a globalized world. 

It is important to know in this context that the successful completion of the MYP examinations in Germany is recognized as an equivalent qualification to the Fachoberschulreife (Mittlerer Schulabschluss). Depending on the number of points achieved, it also entitles the holder to attend the “Gymnasiale Oberstufe”. The IB diploma is also recognized as an equivalent qualification to the German Abitur.

A special thank you to the MYP Coordinators who made this possible: Ms. Ana Srepel, Mrs. Shelly Sachdev, and Mr. Edward Parker.
