Deutsch: Grußwort des Direktors
Dear ISF Community and Prospective Families,
It is a genuine pleasure to welcome you to the International School Frankfurt Rhein-Main (ISF). Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning for another year, I am delighted that you have chosen to be part of our vibrant, international community—one where students feel supported, challenged, and truly at home.
ISF has a proud history, a clear identity, and a shared commitment to helping every student flourish. The entire ISF team and I look forward to working alongside you and your children as we continue to build something exceptional together.
At ISF, we believe that every student deserves an education that is rigorous, personalized, and future-focused. Our academic program – grounded in the SABIS® Educational System and strengthened by more than 140 years of global educational expertise – ensures consistency, clarity, and measurable progress for every learner. Through structured planning, regular assessment opportunities, and targeted support, we make sure that no learning gaps go unnoticed and that every student is set up for long-term success.
Because of this, ISF has a strong reputation for excellence. Our students consistently achieve outstanding academic outcomes, and our school is recognized among top-performing IB schools both in Germany and worldwide.
We offer flexible graduation pathways tailored to individual goals, including the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, Advanced Placement® (AP®) courses, and a route to German Abitur equivalence. Our dedicated university counselling team works closely with students to guide them toward leading universities around the world.
Our World Language program reflects our belief in a future in which communication and cultural understanding are essential. English is the primary language of instruction, complemented by German and additional languages such as Spanish, French, Korean, and Japanese.
Beyond academics, ISF is a school where students grow as individuals. Through the SABIS Student Life Organization® (SLO®), students develop leadership, confidence, and a strong sense of responsibility within a supportive community.
We are also fortunate to provide outstanding facilities and a rich range of opportunities in sports, the arts, and student life – ensuring that all students can discover their interests and strengths.
ISF is a school of high expectations, strong values, and genuine care. We want every student to feel challenged, supported, and proud of who they are becoming. Most importantly, we want them to feel that they belong.
Thank you for placing your trust in us. I am honored to serve this community, and I look forward to the future as we continue to strengthen ISF as Frankfurt’s leading international school.
Warm regards,
David Harrison
School Director, ISF International School Frankfurt Rhein-Main
