International School of Düsseldorf

The International School of Düsseldorf (ISD) is a cornerstone of the international community in Düsseldorf, founded in 1968 and located in the leafy Kaiserswerth district. With over 1,000 students from 70+ nationalities, ISD is one of the largest and most diverse international schools in Germany. Offering the full IB continuum for students aged 2 to 18, ISD is accredited by CIS and NEASC, and authorised by the IBO. The school's exceptional facilities include a 25-metre swimming pool, two gymnasiums, science labs, dedicated arts and music spaces, and extensive library resources. Düsseldorf's unique demographics — hosting Germany's largest Japanese expatriate community and a major Korean community — make ISD an exceptionally multicultural environment. The school has specialist EAL and mother tongue language support for students from diverse language backgrounds. ISD's IB Diploma pass rate consistently exceeds global averages, and graduates gain places at top universities across North America, the UK, and Europe. The school's location near the Rhine and central Düsseldorf gives students access to one of Germany's most cosmopolitan cities.
