Munich International School at 60: Ben Figgis on the expat "soft landing"
Discover how Munich International School supports expat families relocating to Bavaria, featuring insights on integration from Head of School Ben Figgis.
Munich International School (MIS) marks its 60th anniversary, welcoming Head of School Ben Figgis to lead the institution. As an expat himself, Figgis is well-versed in the challenges families face when moving to a new country. His leadership focuses on providing a holistic approach to help families integrate smoothly. MIS understands that schools are more than academic institutions; they become a new family during times of significant change.
The school's integration process begins early in the academic year, with carefully planned activities to help students make friends and feel at home. An annual Back-to-School BBQ on the school's 60th birthday celebrated the event with local government representatives and live 1960s music. MIS remains committed to supporting international families in their transition to Munich.
