Franconian International School (The-FIS)

Who said Schultüten are just for kids? 🍬

Welcoming our new staff members with a Schultüte is a long-standing tradition at the FIS, because new beginnings deserve to be celebrated at every age! ✨

P.S. Swipe to see the dedication that went into getting everyone into position for the video 🫶

Meet the FIS admin team - KIDS edition 😉

Guess who!

A little change of perspective 🙃 …

Where‘d all the time go ? 🥲

POV: When your imagination can take you anywhere... ✈️

Everyone’s packing their suitcases... so here’s a little throwback to our Grade 1 trip to Finland! ✈️🇫🇮

„What do you mean we never left school?“ 😄

Our imagination would disagree…

Passports, boarding passes, airport security, Santa, the Northern Lights, postcards home—and one unforgettable day of learning through play.

A huge thank you to our wonderful Grade 1 teachers and the PTO for making this magical experience possible. 💙

At the FIS, curiosity is the best passport. 🌍

Curiosity

Be honest …

Did we fool you ? 😉

☀️ Summer Break is ON! ☀️

Looking for something fun to do with the kids? Here’s an idea inspired by our G1–G4 picnic adventure:

🐐 Lindenhof Adventure Farm in Hammerbach is a fantastic destination for a family day out!

Feed friendly animals, race on pedal go-karts, bounce on giant jumping pillows, explore the playgrounds, and enjoy plenty of space to run, play, and make summer memories.

The best part? The fun isn’t just for the little ones—grown-ups are encouraged to unleash their inner child too! 😉

Happy summer adventures! ☀️

🏅🎉 Sports Days at the FIS! 🎉🏅

Our G1–G5 students gave it their all, embracing friendly competition while showing determination, resilience, and fantastic team spirit throughout every challenge 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️👏

For our EY learners, the focus was on discovering the joy of sport through collaboration, encouragement, and play 🌈🤸‍♀️

Their enthusiasm was contagious as they made their way from one activity to the next chanting:

„Sports is the best! Sports is the best!“ 🎉💙

Whether competing, collaborating, or cheering on their classmates, every student showed that sport is about building confidence, creating friendships, and having fun together.

We couldn’t be prouder! 🌟

🐞🌼 Buzz, crawl, grow, and sing! 🎶🌱

Our EY learners have been busy exploring the wonderful world of Minibeasts and Plants—and what better way to celebrate their learning than with a very special concert! 🦋🐛🌻

Over the past weeks, our curious little explorers have:

🐞 Discovered the important jobs of insects and other minibeasts
🌱 Learned what plants need to grow and thrive
🔎 Investigated nature through hands-on activities and outdoor adventures
💚 Practised caring for living things and the world around them

To bring their learning to life, our EY team created an interdisciplinary performance filled with music, movement, storytelling, and lots of smiles! 🎭🎵✨

PS: scroll all the way to the back to see a little glimpse of their performance 🙃

„Go to Paris,“ they said, „It’ll be fun,“ they said... 🥵☀️

We just received some photos from our G10 trip, and our students have one important message for everyone during this heatwave:

„Restez hydratés !“ 💧
(Stay hydrated!)

Judging by the photos... mission accomplished. 😄
