accadis ISB is situated in Bad Homburg, a leafy town in the Taunus mountains, just north of Frankfurt am Main. We are a lively, friendly and expanding bilingual co-ed school which currently has approximately 420 students from 2 – 18, representing over 44 nationalities. Privately owned, it is part of family concern with links to the nearby accadis Hochschule. The school was founded in 2004 and grew by one grade each year. Currently, the oldest students are attending Grade 12 (the equivalent of Year 13 in the British school system). The school has a bilingual concept, teaching some subjects in English and some in German. accadis ISB became an official IB World School in January 2016 and started to teach the IB Diploma Programme the following August. In the same year accadis ISB was also accredited by Cambridge International Examinations to teach the two year IGCSE course in Grades 9 and 10. The school provides a supportive and challenging environment where students are encouraged to become responsible and independent learners. accadis ISB caters for a wide range of students, and is both a "local" school for families who live nearby and also an international school for students who come to us from all over the world.The school is situated in an affluent area of Bad Homburg, a spa town, only about 20 minutes by car or train from Frankfurt am Main and close to several wealthy commuter towns and villages. The current school building was opened in 2011 and is modern with state of the art facilities. Since 2014 the school has also its own sports hall. Recently, we opened two new extensions featuring a well-equipped library, a Music and Drama room as well as 8 additional class rooms providing more space for the Secondary School and the newly introduced IB Diploma courses. Each classroom is equipped with smart board technology and our students can use the school's own laptops in lessons.
