Founded in 1992 for a tiny group of expatriate children, Leipzig International School now welcomes more than 1,000 students to a learning community with strong local roots, attracting many German as well as international families.

From the age of one until graduation, students learn with us to become citizens of the world, while their parents form part of a united and caring community. Talented teachers, themselves internationally-minded and from diverse backgrounds, encourage and inspire students from first walking steps through to University applications.

As a learning community we take a holistic approach to education. We welcome you to explore our website to gain a deeper understanding of the educational experience and community LIS has to offer.

We empower all learners on their personal journeys of growth and challenge them to make a positive impact on themselves, our community and the world.
