Obermayr International

What Obermayr International does

Obermayr International, legally Europa-Schule Dr. Obermayr e.V., is a family-run, nonprofit educational institution founded in 1956 and headquartered in Schwalbach am Taunus, Germany. It operates an integrated bilingual education platform spanning the full childhood-to-graduation arc, with 10 Kita/Kindergarten facilities (including Krippe infant care, bilingual and Montessori kindergartens) and multiple primary, secondary, and vocational campuses across four cities in the Rhine-Main region: Wiesbaden, Taunusstein, Rüsselsheim, and Schwalbach am Taunus. The core academic portfolio runs from bilingual Grundschule through Realschule, Gymnasium (with G8, G9, bilingual, and bilingual-plus variants), Gymnasiale Oberstufe leading to the Abitur, and onward into the Obermayr Business School sub-brand covering Fachoberschule, Zweijährige Höhere Berufsfachschule, and Berufliches Gymnasium. An International School sub-brand in Schwalbach am Taunus targets expatriate and internationally mobile families, supported by a multilingual website in German, English, French, and Spanish.

The business model is recurring tuition-driven: families pay monthly Schulentgelt (school fees) that vary by school type and program, supplemented by a stack of paid ancillary modules — Nachmittagsbetreuung (after-school care), Feriencamps (holiday camps), Musikschule (music school), Schulbus (school bus), Sportangebote und Talentförderung (sports and talent development), Theater, AGs (activity groups), and Förderangebote (remedial courses). Marketing is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on direct campus contact, personal consultation appointments, word-of-mouth, and a modest digital presence (website plus Facebook and Instagram). The organization is structured as a registered association under German law, with no parent company, no external investors, and a publicly stated commitment to reserve 15% of school places at reduced rates for lower-income families. Standard educational technology (digital whiteboards and contemporary learning media) is the only technology disclosed; there are no proprietary AI, API, or platform components.

• SIS Swiss International School: Swiss-based operator with multiple campuses in Germany (including Frankfurt region) offering bilingual K-12 international education. Comparable offering structure and target expatriate family segment.
• Berlin Bilingual School: Private bilingual (German-English) school in Berlin offering Kindergarten through secondary education. Closely mirrors Obermayr's bilingual K-12 pathway in a different German city.
• Frankfurt International School: Established international K-12 school serving the Frankfurt expatriate community with English-language instruction. Directly competes for the same premium expatriate family pool in the Rhine-Main region.

Broad incumbents
