European School, Munich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European School Munich (ESM) is one of 12 European Schools and was established in 1977. There are currently 1457 students enrolled at the school (105 nursery-, 603 primary and 749 secondary school). The ESM follows the curriculum of all European Schools, which leads to the European Baccalaureate, a graduation diploma that qualifies university studies in any country of the European Union. The ESM was principally established to serve the schooling needs of children whose parents work at the European Patent Office (EPO) in Munich. However it is also possible for other children to attend the ESM. The current headmaster is John Peryer.

The school moved to its current site in Neuperlach, a district in the south-west of Munich, in 1981. In recent years, because of the popularity of the school it was necessary to construct new buildings so as to cater for the needs of an ever growing student population. The address of the school is at Elise-Aulinger-Str. 21, 81793 München and can be reached via the U-Bahn line U5 at the station Therese-Giehse-Allee.
