The Foxhill Bilingual International School Primary
At Foxhill Bilingual International School, we view education as a holistic process that goes far beyond traditional teaching. In a familial and supportive learning environment, we offer children and young people the opportunity to grow both personally and academically – amidst the breathtaking nature of Innsbruck.
Family-like learning atmosphere: small classes, strong community
We believe in the power of individual support and close connections between teachers and students. In our small classes with a low student-to-teacher ratio, we address the unique needs of every child. This close attention fosters not only meaningful interactions and personal relationships but also creates an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust. Every child feels seen and valued – “I see you!” is not just a motto but a daily practice that forms the heart of our school.
Cross-age learning: children learn from each other
Learning is not just theoretical – it’s an active, collaborative process. At our school, children of all ages work together, and cross-age classes not only enhance individual learning but also encourage interaction between grade levels. Older students take on responsibility by helping and guiding younger ones, strengthening both their knowledge and social skills. Children learn from one another, support each other, and grow together.
Individualized learning support: Every student is unique
Every child is unique, with their own talents, strengths, and needs. That’s why we provide tailored learning support designed to meet the personality and educational requirements of each student. Our teachers and educators are not just knowledge providers but also mentors who meet children where they are and guide them along their personal learning journey.
Teacher-student relationships: “I see you”. The relationship between teachers and students is the foundation of successful learning. Our teachers approach each child’s individual needs with heart and dedication. We create an environment where children feel safe and supported, where they can ask questions, make mistakes, and grow freely. “I see you” means we acknowledge our students as whole individuals – with their strengths, challenges, and dreams – and respond to them accordingly.

Learning environment in the nature of Innsbruck: Learning in the great outdoors
Our school is nestled in one of Europe’s most beautiful natural regions, near Innsbruck. We actively incorporate this unique location into our concept of “real-life learning.” Through direct contact with nature, children experience learning as a practical, hands-on process. Whether exploring the surroundings, playing outdoors, or participating in nature-based projects, the outdoors becomes a vibrant classroom, making learning playful, interactive, and authentic.
Needs-based homework: Meaningful and individualized
At Foxhill Bilingual International School, we follow a needs-based approach to homework: tasks are specifically tailored to each child’s needs and learning level. Our goal is to assign homework only when it is truly necessary and meaningful – as targeted reinforcement of learning or to develop specific skills further.
We ensure that homework remains manageable and can be completed independently by the child without direct parental help. This approach encourages self-directed learning and builds confidence in their abilities. Children are not overwhelmed or given busywork but instead stay motivated and engaged as they progress in their learning.
Playful, real-life learning: From life, for life
Education is more than just imparting facts – it’s about preparing children for life. At Foxhill, playful, real-life learning takes center stage. Children explore the world with all their senses, gain experience, ask questions, and develop problem-solving skills they can use in everyday life and their future careers. By connecting theory with practice, we build a strong foundation for life. “From Life – For Life” is not just a motto; it’s our educational approach.
Bilingualism: English and German as keys to global communication
In an international world, language proficiency is crucial. At Foxhill Bilingual International School, we place a strong emphasis on bilingualism. Our students are taught in both English and German, allowing them not only to master the languages but also to develop a deep understanding of the cultures behind them. Two languages open doors and broaden horizons.
Intercultural learning: understanding and respecting values
At our school, interculturality is a valuable component of education. Our students come from various countries and cultures, offering a unique opportunity to learn from one another. Intercultural learning is not just a topic but a daily part of our teaching and social interactions. We encourage the exchange of ideas and perspectives to foster a respectful, open-minded understanding.

Our approach
Holistic learning for a successful future
In a globalized world, academic knowledge and intellectual skills are not enough – the ability to express oneself and communicate effectively with others is equally important. At Foxhill Bilingual International School, we promote the personal development of our students through targeted communication techniques and presentations. Children learn to articulate their thoughts clearly and confidently, resolve conflicts constructively, and interact with others respectfully and empathetically. We place particular emphasis on creating a harmonious social environment – both in the classroom and beyond.
Our school follows a holistic approach that places the individual at the center. Our goal is to equip children not only with excellent academic skills but also to guide them toward becoming happy, successful individuals. We emphasize developing not only knowledge but also the skills needed for life and daily interactions – confidence, responsibility, and social competence.
We aim to help children discover and develop their unique strengths and potential. We are not just teachers but also mentors and role models. Our ultimate goal is to prepare students for success not only in school but also in life – both professionally and personally. At our school, we empower them to turn their dreams and goals into reality because the key to a fulfilling future lies in the holistic development of each child.
