Our Team, Our Opening Hours and How to Reach Us

Greeting from the Principal

Dear parents

Each school day brings new experiences that give students a new opportunity to steadily develop personally and academically, spark their curiosity, form friendships and acquire knowledge. I am delighted that you are interested in SIS Regensburg and I would like to invite you to get to know our special school community.

At SIS Regensburg, it is most important to us to accompany the children and students – starting from kindergarten through primary school to graduation in the Gymnasium – on their journey through life.

Our school values of honesty, appreciation, commitment to action and personal responsibility are lived by our school community on a daily basis. Mutual respect and commitment play an important role. Thanks to our international school family, we have the opportunity every day to learn a lot from and about each other and thus also about our different cultural backgrounds. Our students demonstrate the motto "School against Racism" every day.

I would be happy to make an appointment with you to give you an understanding of our kindergarten or our school in a personal conversation and to answer any questions you may have.

Yours
Danette Brink

Diseree Tiriboyi

Head of Kindergarten

Diseree Tiriboyi has been working at SIS Regensburg since September 2022, where she teaches English in kindergarten. Together with Michelle Ferreira, she took over the position of head of kindergarten in October 2024. 

Having been born and raised in Zimbabwe, Diseree Tiriboyi came to Germany to study. After graduating in Regensburg, she worked with various age groups, from toddlers to adults. Having experienced the effects of speaking three languages as a child, Diseree Tiriboyi understands how this can have a positive effect on one’s life. She aims to support young children in achieving this unique characteristic not only because it opens many doors for them in the future, but especially since it is easier for them to learn a new language at such a young age. 

Diseree Tiriboyi enjoys teaching young children and is excited to see them take their first steps in becoming independent and confident individuals.
