The European School Munich is one of the 14 European Schools distributed across Europe and which have got their own school system, not belonging to any specific country or following any national school system. The school is divided into sections depending on the mother tongue of the student, thus in primary there are total of seven sections. Classes are taught in the mother tongue of student in order to create and develop an appropriate understanding of the own language and culture.
