English and German play an equal role at SIS secondary school. In contrast to primary level, each subject is generally taught in a specific language – at least for the duration of the school year. However, we place emphasis on ensuring that students acquire the relevant specialist vocabulary in both languages.

As at primary level, teaching is based on the relevant curricula for Baden-Württemberg.
In the 11th and 12th grades, we additionally offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. This means students can attain the IB Diploma, which is recognized by universities around the world, as well as the Baden-Württemberg Abitur.

SIS Fellbach secondary school is an officially approved Ersatzschule and is actively seeking full state recognition. (An Ersatzschule provides courses and qualifications comparable with those offered at German state schools. Teaching is based on the relevant curricula of the state Baden-Württemberg, supplemented by SIS´s own additions to and adaptions of these curricula.)

The SIS Secondary School opened in September 2008 with a 5th Grade. In its second operating year (09/10) the SIS Fellbach has a 5th and 6th Grade. The Secondary School will grow continously each year.

To be able to enroll in the SIS Fellbach Secondary School a Primary School recommendation (Grundschulempfehlung) is required.
