Our Team, Our Opening Hours and How to Reach Us

Greeting from the Principal

Dear parents,

A warm welcome to SIS Frankfurt! As the school principal, I greet you on behalf of our team. Since our establishment in 2020, we have been on a continuous journey of growth. In September 2023, we proudly opened our Gymnasium.

Our school is built on the values of sustainability, academic excellence, respect, and integrity. These principles shape our educational philosophy. We aim not only to impart knowledge but also to instill in our students a deep appreciation for respect and integrity. In an atmosphere of empathy and international-mindedness, we foster the development of responsible, globally-oriented individuals.

The opening of the Gymnasium marks a significant milestone. Alongside academic excellence, we emphasize the cultivation of the individuality and autonomy of each student. Within a supportive community, they can unfold and discover their strengths.

We invite you to actively participate in school life. Together, we shape the future of our students, molding them into responsible and empathetic individuals. Thank you for placing your trust in SIS Frankfurt. We look forward to getting to know you and contributing to the success story of your children.

Warm regards,
Aurelio Reyes Alcántara
