The ISF International School Frankfurt Rhein-Main is a private school in Sindlingen, a borough of Frankfurt am Main, Germany.[1] Accredited by the Council of International Schools,[2] the school offers IGCSE, International Baccalaureate and AP examinations.
The International School of Frankfurt Rhein-Main was founded in 1995 as a public-private partnership in schools within Germany by the Frankfurt Chamber of Commerce, the State of Hesse, the Frankfurt Economic Development GmbH and with financial support of international companies in the region. The school opened in September 1995 with 65 students enrolled in Kindergarten throughout Grade 8. 10 years later it had an enrolment of around 900 students from 49 nations from preschool up through grade 12.
