The Bavarian International School (BIS) is an international school based in Haimhausen, Bavaria, Germany. The school is a non-profitable organization that has a particularly small student population, comparing to other neighbouring international schools, such as Vienna International School, American International School of Salzburg and Munich International School.

The school is split into 3 parts: Upper School (also known as High School), Middle School (Junior High) and Lower School (Elementary School) including Reception (Kindergarten). The principals of the school divisions are Julie Hessler, Michelle Hiteman and Bryan Nixon, respectively. The current director is Matt Mills.

Munich International School are fierce rivals of the Bavarian International School at sports, but BIS is very much into sports and other extra-curricular activities. In the autumn, BIS sponsors football and volleyball as their main extra-curricular activities. In the winter, basketball and Alpine skiing are the main activities and in the spring, track and field and girls' softball are most popular. BIS also concentrates on the arts by having a variety of bands and art club after school. After-school drama (Theatre Arts) is also an option.
