General Assembly Meeting: Our annual General Assembly meeting will
take place at
Our Board of Directors is comprised of ten members.
According to our Articles of Association, five Board members including the
Chairman, represent the associate members of the FIS Association, mostly
sponsors of the school, whose donations over the past years have enabled the
FIS to become a viable entity. The second group of five Board members are
parents of FIS students, representing the parent
body. The Board has been a very active group during the past year,
as the daunting task of organizing and financing a new school building has been
a combined effort between school administration and the Board. The
members of the FIS Board of Directors are:

Tutors Needed / Tutors Available: Do you know someone who is a tutor, or who
is interested in tutoring middle and high school students? We would like

MS/HS Drop Off / Pick Up:
Parents of Middle and
High School students, when dropping your children off in the morning, please only pull into the bus area in front of

uphill). Driving around the traffic circle will only take a few seconds
longer and this will ensure the safety everyone on Zum Flughafen. We also ask
that all MS/HS parents pull up into the bus bay when dropping off their students,
and then leave promptly thereafter. Parents who need to come into the Convent
Campus building should park further up the street in the legal parking areas.
With the traffic light and crosswalk just down the street from the Convent
Campus, students who are dropped opposite the Convent, should walk down and
make use of it.
In the afternoon the bus bay is reserved for our
