A world-class education, for whatever your child may do
Founded in 1968, the International school of Düsseldorf is a
not-for-profit, independent, co-educational day school located in
the heart of the international community of Kaiserswerth. Due to our
non-profit status, all our income is invested back into the school
for the benefit of our students.

Our school has a proud 50-year history of supporting young people to
pursue their dreams and ambitions, in all walks of life, and in all
corners of the globe. We deliver an outstanding education that
prepares our students to be successful and inspires them to make a
difference; an education that will equip them with the skills and
aptitudes to tackle the global challenges they will face.
In our rapidly changing world we imagine that our students will need
the passion and courage to go on learning throughout life and the
creativity to dream of a better world. At ISD, we are committed to
providing every student with the individual support they need to
flourish, to discover pleasure in learning, to become autonomous and
intrinsically motivated, and, ultimately, to become architects of
their own futures.
