Home Away From Home
Schloss Krumbach International School is a boarding school, a home away from home, and we take residential comfort and safety of our students with utmost care and attention to detail.
With a balanced 6-meals-a-day nutrition, daily sports, a wide range of extracurricular activities, and a multicultural support to the academics, Schloss Krumbach students are always on a path of steady growth, whether intellectually, culturally or physically.
The rooms are designed to accommodate two/three students. They are recently renovated and equipped with all the required amenities: beds with orthopedic mattresses and eco-friendly linen, spacious bathrooms with a shower and separate sinks for every student. To emphasize, every room comes with its own bathroom. We also provide individual working stations, furnished with tables, chairs and work-lights, where the students can study in comfort.

Dormitories
Schloss Krumbach International School sets a new benchmark within the category of highest quality and sophisticated boarding education, that prioritizes care for students and their safety and well-being.
Students occupy spacious newly renovated rooms, equipped with all of the necessary amenities, including working spaces, drawers, and en-suite bathrooms. One of our most interesting design solutions is magnetized walls, which make it very easy for students to attach images, photos, and mind maps to them. We always encourage them to personalize their space – it’s wonderful, when each room reflects the character of its residents.
Furthermore, all the rooms are connected to the school’s Wi-Fi and have charging ports for students’ devices. For safety reasons, an IP Phone station is also available in each room so that students can contact the boarding team any time.
As a boarding school, we take our participation in students’ residential journey with utmost responsibility – instilling in the children the habits of cleanliness and hygiene. We check their appearance, we ensure the tidiness of their uniform, and much more. We also show our students how to sort clothes for laundry. In general, the school’s free laundry service operates on a weekly basis – picking up the used clothing, changing linens. In addition, there are ironing services in place for students’ uniforms.
We understand that for many of our students this is the first experience of living independently, away from their families and try to teach them to look after themselves, to perform some basic daily tasks. This is a great preparation for their future life in college.
Day of a Student
A typical week day of a boarding student at our school is structured the following way:
One day consists of 7 lessons and additionally 2 hours of sport distributed over the Day. In the best interest of the students and academic necessity, the School administration may introduce changes in a typical school day routine.
As you can see, our students lead a very fulfilling boarding life which fosters academic excellence and diverse interests, in sciences, fine arts, humanities, and music.
Step by step, through hard work and with love – that’s how we nurture our students to grow into the best versions of themselves. And they do have a great time along the way!

Fancy Dinners
Fancy Dinners
What is the Fancy Dinner tradition, and why does it matter so much for our school? The Fancy Dinner tradition, started last year, is a fully student-run and implemented incentive: on weekend evenings, students clean the restaurant area, take out the fancy historical dishes, set up the table, help the kitchen cook, and invite the adults. This is then followed by a lovely evening reception with flowing conversations, fancy suits and dresses, and dancing waltz and quadrille. The Fancy Dinner tradition embodies the spirit of our school, the one of collective responsibility, drive for knowledge, and appreciation for each other.
Meals at SKIS
Eating healthy is living healthy. At SKIS, we provide an exceptionally well-balanced approach to nutrition, helping students build lifelong healthy eating habits. Students receive six meals a day, all freshly prepared in our own school kitchen. Every meal is served in our dining hall on a full-board basis, offering nutritious, varied options that support growing bodies, focused minds, and a healthy daily routine.
