A school is only as good as its faculty, and Bonn International School prides itself on the training and dedication of its teaching staff. All teachers are not only fully qualified in the subjects they teach, but have an admirable range of advanced university qualifications and educational experience. While at BIS, our faculty regularly participates in additional training and further development of teaching, communication and class-management skills.

Our faculty represents the diverse national and cultural backgrounds of 16 countries. For the 2010-2011 school year, BIS has 60 full-time and 10 part-time teachers as well as teaching assistants from EL3/4 through Grade 5. Our student/teacher ratio is 9.5 to 1.

Faculty members are supported at BIS through a variety of programmes. New teachers are assigned "buddies" to help them move to Bonn and get adjusted and familarized with the local landscape. A mentor programme, pairing experienced IB teachers with less experienced teachers to transfer their knowledge, is under development. Subject and team leaders as well as curriculum coordinators ensure the delivery of a demanding, broad-based education for all students.
