Strothoff International School

The quality of the school may be illustrated by the following brief overview of its first nine years of operation:

2009 Foundation year

2011 International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme authorisation

2012 International Baccalaureate Primary Years authorisation

2014 International Baccalaureate Middle Years authorisation

2017 Council of International Schools accreditation

2017 New England Association of Schools and Colleges accreditation

English is the main language of instruction, but German is mandatory for all students as well, either as a mother tongue course or as a language acquisition course at one of six different levels. An intensive English as an Additional Language programme helps some students develop and consolidate the language proficiency needed. Technology as well as blended learning is incorporated into the curriculum.

In line with our motto “Everyone contributes, everyone reflects, everyone grows”, teachers ensure that every student is supported and encouraged to participate, to explore and to develop as a person. Behaviour management is consistent and professional, always ensuring that behaviour has consequences without ever devaluing any student as a person.

The vigorous IB programme and the high expectations of Strothoff International School are rounded up by an extensive range of more than 60 high quality after school activities.

As of January 2018, enrolment stands at 350 and is growing slowly but steadily. The school’s development plan foresees a new campus with at least double this capacity. Just under half of the student body is German. The rest come from about 40 different nationalities, including a sizeable Indian community. The faculty is very professional and very diverse. The five largest nationalities represented on the faculty are US (22%) followed by British (15%), German (12%), Australian (8%) and South African (7%). The rest of the faculty come from 18 other nationalities spanning all continents.
