International department. Schloss Neubeuern.
Intercultural motivation and inspiration
International department at Schloss Neubeuern
A third of our students come from all over the world – from Hong Kong to Vancouver and New Delhi. This is one of the reasons why we have set up a separate international department for our international students. This includes a highly qualified team that manages language integration in record time.

cultural bridges
Language
Language integration in record time
Our highly qualified team is able to bring students’ German language skills to a high level in a short space of time, regardless of their mother tongue. What often starts with facial expressions and gestures usually ends with a great Abitur in German. This is always an impressive achievement by the pupils and our team.
Intercultural
cooperation
We offer our students plenty of opportunities for intercultural exchange. This starts in the culinary field, as our kitchen loves to try out foreign specialities. For example, we often organise a dinner with an international theme. Our “International Weekend” has become the most popular festival at Schloss Neubeuern and many international student projects take place.
Cosmopolitanism and tolerance are important to us – that’s why it is important to us that all pupils get to know the culture of others.
The entrance ticket
to the
universities
The Bavarian Abitur at Schloss Neubeuern is the door opener and admission ticket to universities in Germany – and the world. We also create the best conditions for our international students.
International highlights
International weekend
Unique - a colourful weekend with an interesting lecture, the international fair with fun presentations from all over the world and culinary specialities that our students cook themselves: from Russian blinis to Indian samosas and Austrian Kaiserschmarrn. And in the evenings, they celebrate together with guests. Great fun for everyone.
Culture talk
The most important thing for us at Schloss Neubeuern is togetherness. And because different cultures are often very different, the Student Council (SMV) team organises occasional evenings where you can talk about the customs of your country and contribute to enriching intercultural coexistence for everyone with your suggestions.
International group tour berlin
The best way to gain an insight into our German culture and history is to visit our capital city, Berlin. That's why our international department organises a four-day trip there once a year. With an interesting guided tour and excursions to places steeped in history, such as the world-famous Brandenburg Gate or the memorial fragments of the Berlin Wall. And, of course, lots of fun.
Student exchange programme
Connected worldwide. At Schloss Neubeuern we are in good contact with countries such as Hong Kong, South Africa, Vietnam, Ireland and England. You can also apply for this 2-3 week exchange to other countries. We will make sure that you find a good connection in your school after your return.
Sushi express
An original tradition: the Neubeur Sushi Express travels on special evenings. Once through the Green Hall - past all the pupils, loaded with delicious freight, the home-made sushi from the cookery guild. The good old Playmobil train was donated by the chef and has been travelling through the hearts of all the pupils ever since. After all, the best way to love is through the stomach.
Regional excursions at the weekend
At the weekends, there are regular excursions to the surrounding area. Together with your friends, you can discover the castles of Bavaria's King Bavaria's King Ludwig, go to the Salzburg Christmas market or experience science and technology live at the Deutsches Museum in Munich.
International weekend
Our “International Weekend” is something very special. A colourful get-together where our international pupils are given a stage to present their country and culture – including our pupils from Germany, of course. Every year we look forward to their country-specific dishes, the great musical contributions and the “presentations from around the world”. A warm welcome!
A sense of belonging in a place far from home.
Culture begins in the heart of each individual.

We are happy about our worldwide friendships.
International cuisine
At Schloss Neubeuern we cook our way around the world. Sustainability is important to us. That’s why we always buy regional and seasonal produce. Everything is always freshly cooked in our kitchen and vegetarians also get a varied diet. What’s special about our head chef is that he loves international cuisine and brings the most delicious recipes from all over the world to the menu. He loves to make our international students happy by allowing them to request something from him.
International exchange
We not only open our doors to pupils from many countries around the world, but also offer our German pupils the opportunity to spend four to five weeks at a school abroad. We have partner schools in Canada, South Africa, India and Hong Kong, which offer both boarding school accommodation and accommodation with host families.
Of course, it is also possible to move abroad for the whole year, and we are happy to advise our students and their parents on this. Schloss Neubeuern enables returnees to be admitted to the next year without any red tape (no loss of time) as part of a 6-month school trial period and helps them to catch up on the material they have missed.
Stories
Voices about Schloss Neubeuern
Schloss Neubeuern means a lot to me. School and boarding school life here is varied and colourful. Numerous activities are offered for pupils, e.g. cookery guild, dance course and much more. As a Chinese student, I attended the International Department and felt particularly at home there – I especially liked the fact that you can receive guests with your home country specialities on the “International Weekend”. Being together with others helped me to grow up – a kind of transformation that makes the transition from teenager to adult possible. Here, at Schloss Neubeuern, you have the opportunity to develop according to your preferences.
Neubeuern was my first boarding school experience. Life in another country can always be difficult, but Neubeuern made it very easy for me. Friends who are like family and always support each other and mentors who look after children like parents. In addition to the boarding school, the school offers us special facilities. The digital classroom made learning a lot easier for me. The school has also supported me in realising my dreams and I can say that Schloss Neubeuern will have a big impact on my future.
As a mentor, I enjoy the privilege of being able to live here in the castle with my family. The wonderful view from the castle inspires me every day. The friendly colleagues, the relationships with the children and young people and the sense of community give me strength and warmth. It’s a wonderful feeling to have accompanied a child or young person with my heart and perhaps made a difference in their life. That’s why I love my work and my home here at Schloss Neubeuern!
Elia is a “very” proud pupil at Schloss Neubeuern – he would love to be a boarder. Many sports and cultural activities enrich his everyday school life here. At the beginning of the school year, but also during the school year, team-building through various activities is elementary, which gives the time for learning a completely different foundation. The relationship between teachers, mentors and students is really very personal, intensive and committed. Personal concerns are dealt with in a very “human” and professional manner.
We are very happy student parents.
