[4] In 1992, the Jose-Rizal Schule and its French partner school, the École Française de Manille (EFM), moved in together to share a two-hectare campus that came to be known as the Eurocampus and where it still is based today.

[5][6] DSM and EFM joined forces in 2003 to form the European International School (EIS), a body that would be able to offer the IB Diploma Programme for Grades 11 and 12.

In 2021, the Career-related Programme was introduced, offering senior high school students academic subjects combined with vocational training.

It owns the land and buildings of the Eurocampus and its mission is to nurture, promote and develop the education and interests of the members of the European Community, especially the two founding schools, the Lycée Français de Manille and the Deutsche Schule Manila.

It has always been said that French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel now are working together to try to give a new impulse to this European project.
