The European School, Munich (ESM) is one of thirteen European Schools and one of three in Germany. First established in 1977, it moved to its current location in Neuperlach, a district in the south-east of Munich, in the state of Bavaria in 1981. The ESM was principally established to serve the schooling needs of children of the staff of the European Patent Office (EPO), the executive body of the European Patent Organisation. However, enrolment is open to other prospective students. The school offers the European Baccalaureate as its secondary leaving qualification.

Campus and facilities

The school moved to its current campus in Neuperlach, a district in the south-east of Munich, in 1981. Nearby public transport links include the Therese-Giehse-Allee station on the Munich U-Bahn, and the Neuperlach, Friedhof stop on Bus line 55.

Rising popularity in recent years, has led to the the demolition and reconstruction of the site to cater for increasing student numbers. In 2006, the former nursery school was demolished to make way for a new canteen and and science laboratory classrooms, connected by a skybridge to the main building. A new nursery school was built facing onto Putzbrunner Straße. In 2014, a series of temporary classes were erected, whilst further construction work on additional classroom is undertaken. Work is expected to be completed by the end of 2017.

Sports facilities, consisting of three large sports halls, and a smaller hall, by the name of the Europahalle are connected to the main building via a tunnel. Above sports facilities are three large rooms used for examinations, respectively named after the Dutch renaissance humanist Erasmus, and the two European Union (EU) founding fathers Robert Schuman, and Jean Monnet.
