History
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. In 2005, it celebrated its 10th Anniversary with an enrollment of around 900 students from 49 nations from preschool up through grade 13.
Athletics
The school's extra-curricular athletic program was integrated into the sport programs of the Rhein-Main area with the foundation of the Sportverein ISF Sindlingen in 1999 because competitive sports in Germany are usually organized in sport clubs rather than by individual schools. The Sportverein ISF Sindlingen is member of the German Federation of Sports and competes in the leagues of the Rhein-Main area, and also participates in international competitions such as the GISST.
Members have a choice of the following sports:
ISF's strongest sports are Swimming and Track and Field, causing it to become the recent recipient of the Peter Murphy Trophy, which is presented to the school which accumulates the most points in all of the GISST sports tournaments.
Student life
The school offers many extra-curricular activities ranging from study clubs to outdoor sport activities through the Student Life Organization (SLO). SLO is a so-called mini-society run by students for students, under the management of an SLO coordinator. Everyone is encouraged to contribute to help create a fun and enjoyable atmosphere. For students enrolled in grades 4-9, it is mandatory to enroll in extra-curricular student life activities. Students in higher grades can also pursue these activities in their free periods. Activities offered by the Student Life Organization include:
