Beside the state education, there are, of course, a series of international schools in Munich.
The two largest private international schools are the Bavarian International School (BIS) in Haimhausen with 1040 students from 52 countries and the Munich International School (MIS) in Starnberg with about 1,200 students from 55 countries.
Both schools are housed in castles so lessons take place in fairy-tale surroundings. Both accept junior, middle and senior students.
