Schools

Heidelberg International School (H.I.S.) is an independent all-day supplementary school for schoolchildren aged four to 18 years of all nationalities and cultures. The school's programme is aimed at internationally mobile families and multilingual schoolchildren from the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region. Heidelberg University has a co-operation agreement with the school, which enables university employees to receive reduced school fees.

The Ecole Pierre et Marie Curie Heidelberg is a French-German pre-school and primary school with a day care centre and a recognised private school.

If you will be staying in the university's guest house, the two nearest primary schools are the Heiligenberg School in Handschuhsheim and the Mönchhof School in Neuenheim. The Heiligenberg School offers additional German lessons for children with little or no knowledge of German.
