The school is situated 20km south of Munich, near Lake Starnberg.

If using a navigation system, please enter “Buchhofstrasse” or "Munich International School," which will direct you to Buchhofstrasse.  There is no street number for the School.  Please look for our parking lot on the left hand side.  From Munich take the motorway south, in the direction of Garmisch (Autobahn A95, E5339). After 10 km, the motorway splits.  Take the right fork, in the direction of Starnberg (A952). After 3-4km, take the exit Percha, shortly before the motorway ends in Starnberg. Follow the exit round and turn left at the traffic lights, in the direction of Wangen. After climbing the hill, the school car park is signposted and situated on the left hand side of the road.

The school can be reached easily from the city centre by public transport. The S-Bahn (S6) departs from Munich every 20 minutes and takes approximately 25 minutes to reach Starnberg. From the station, MIS can be reached by bus or taxi from the 'Starnberg Nord' train station or by taxi from the 'Starnberg' train station. MIS is located at the 'Buchhof, Starnberg' bus stop.

Arranging a visit

We prefer to arrange university visits during the student lunch break which runs from 1:20 -2:10. Normally university representatives give a talk followed by time for questions. We generally allow parents to come to any session they wish. We also invite you to join the Counsellors for lunch in our cafeteria beforehand. If so, you need to arrive by 12:15, walk from the parking lot through our tunnel to the security desk, provide ID and they will direct you to our office. Occasionally presentations are held after school but these are generally held with groups of universities traveling together.

We are an Apple-only school; if you have a presentation, it is helpful if you can bring it on an Apple-enabled USB stick and let us know what you need (screen, sound, etc). We can provide a laptop that connects to our projection system in a classroom.

If you need us to arrange a taxi, it is helpful to know ahead of time with the time you would like to depart and your destination.

Note that Bavarian International School is 1 ½ hours away from MIS to the north of Munich.

Presentations with an academic focus

Academics/Faculty at your universities are very welcome to give a talk about some aspect of their subject as part of a university admissions presentation. This could take the form of a discussion of the latest research developments in the field (e.g. genetic engineering discussion for Science students), or a workshop enhancing students' understanding of a professional area (e.g. a law workshop based on a case-study approach).

Art schools also often provide time for a portfolio review and we welcome this support.

University Fairs

MIS offers two university fairs; one in September which is organized by College Day, an outside provider (registration must be done through College Day’s website: https://collegedayfairs.org/germany-2019), and one in March that we organize with dates that are coordinated with a number of other international schools in Germany. If you are interested in participation in our spring fair, please contact Manuela Black; MBlack@mis-munich.de
