Friends Association

Strong Together for Our Children’s Education

Founded in June 2009, the Friends Association of the International School Bayreuth e.V. is a shining example of what collective commitment can achieve. With support from personalities in business and politics, we have set ourselves the goal of fundamentally improving the educational landscape in Bayreuth. At the heart of our efforts is the Private Primary School Schloss Thiergarten, which we see as a central component for high-quality, future-oriented, and bilingual education. We believe that education not only imparts knowledge but also opens doors to new worlds and opportunities. With your help as a member of our association, we can make this dream a reality for the children in our region.
