BBIS IS A LEADING INTERNATIONAL DAY AND BOARDING SCHOOL

Welcome to BBIS Berlin Brandenburg Â黨ÊÓƵ School, a place where students are empowered to reach their unique potential and thrive on a global stage.

As one of the world’s leading Â黨ÊÓƵ Baccalaureate (IB) schools, BBIS proudly offers three IB programmes in the Primary, Middle and Diploma years of schooling to students from over 75 countries, as well as a huge range of extra-curricular activities. Inclusive, diverse and expansive, we’re here to help each student discover and develop their passions in a warm and welcoming environment.

While English is our language of instruction, BBIS is a truly international school.

Our students hail from families who come from across the globe and share our values of humanity, tolerance and empathy. Together, we are building a caring, internationally minded community of students, teachers and alumni – people who truly have the potential to leave a positive mark on our world.

Every year, we welcome around 820 day students and around 80 boarding students, from 3 to 19 years of age. These students spend their days developing invaluable, life-long skills like critical thinking, languages and intercultural competencies across our early education, primary and secondary areas:

- From ages 3-6, children join our early education community and learn within the framework of the IB Primary Years Programme
- From ages 6-11, students join Grades 1 to 5 to pursue the IB Primary Years Programme
- From ages 11-19, students join our secondary school to pursue the IB Middle Years Programme and IB Diploma Programme

In all of these programmes, we encourage students to be courageous and explore new opportunities, fostering a pioneering spirit that will help them succeed, no matter what the future holds.

Our overarching goal at BBIS is to help students become happy, well-rounded humans.

Our classes are small – usually with fewer than 20 students – so that everyone receives individual attention and support. Beyond the classroom, collaboration and cooperation between staff, students, parents and the wider community is very important to us.

Growing up is not easy, but we understand the challenges and changes that occur. We support our students with dedicated, caring professionals at every step of the way. This nurturing approach – coupled with 24/7 security and a strong child-protection policy – makes BBIS a safe and supportive environment for your child.

Svenska Skolan i Berlin offers students a responsive, individual-based, safe and competent teaching together with dedicated educators. All in an unbeatable bright, lush and creative school environment in the heart of Berlin.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, Svenska Skolan has been run in Berlin. This year we are celebrating our 113th anniversary. This makes us the world's second oldest Swedish foreign school. The premises at Landhausstrasse 26-28 offer a unique Swedish environment with fragrant cinnamon buns from the café, Swedish daily newspapers and magazines as well as an adult and children's library. Here Swedish and German celebrations are celebrated.

Berlin Bilingual School, a unique and vibrant school in one of the most exciting cities in the world. We are a school with dedicated, committed and hard-working teachers and educators. We provide a challenging bilingual curriculum for children whose families have settled in Berlin.

As a school we seek to take our pupils and students on a journey of educational and personal development, a journey which harnesses the merits of bilingual German and English education, celebrates cultural diversity and instills a love for learning. We encourage our pupils to be curious about and open to the world around them, become independent thinkers and be ready and prepared to be challenged and challenge themselves in preparation for what the future may hold for them. We prepare our students for German as well as international qualifications. Our students work hard to achieve their academic goals but as important as academic progress is the personal development of our students and the pastoral care we provide for every child. We encourage every child to follow their own interests, develop and share their talents and pursue other interests in order to allow them to become well-rounded people. 

Quentin Blake Europe School is a public primary school with the special educational focus of bilingual education.  A major objective is integrated bilingual learning groups with bilingual instruction beginning in first grade. The students and teaching staff in each class are half native or mother tongue speakers of either German or English. Native speakers conduct the language lessons in smaller divided groups of Mother Tongue and Partner Tongue.  Half of our student body and staff are native speakers of English.  Since English has become lingua franca in so many countries of the world, we have lively cultural mix with students and teachers from countries as diverse as Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, Kenya, South Africa, the USA and many other countries.

One of the many benefits of our school is that the children receive both Mother Tongue and Partner Tongue in small groups of usually twelve students.  Mathematics is taught in German while Topic, history, general science, geography, music and art are taught in English. Beginning in 5th grade the children also receive instruction in French.

Berlin Metropolitan School is the oldest international school in the center of Berlin. 1,000 students from 52 countries attend our school and are taught using the best international and national curriculum programs.

The Berlin Metropolitan School is an all-day school, allowing students from kindergarten through 12th grade to complete a modern and values-based education, culminating into an internationally recognized diploma. An international team of more than 200 dedicated employees lead the way for the learning success of our students.

Berlin Â黨ÊÓƵ School (BIS) at Campus Dahlem is part of the international and bilingual branch (E/G) of Stiftung Private Kant-Schulen gGmbH. We offer both nationally and internationally recognized educational opportunities from first grade through the end of secondary school to children and young adults whose families are internationally mobile, or based in Berlin and looking for challenging educational programs in a culturally diverse, multilingual setting.

At Berlin Â黨ÊÓƵ School, we value the similarities and differences each person's cultural heritage brings to our lives. We celebrate and share our diversity on a daily basis both inside and outside the classroom in order to enrich the learning experience for our students and the whole school community.

École Voltaire Berlin, while still called Voltaire College, opened in 1994 after the withdrawal of the French forces from Germany in the historic district of Reinickendorf (north of Berlin), first of all primary school, the establishment could then accommodate any French or foreign child wishing to receive a French education.

École Voltaire Berlin is open to its environment: speakers in the cultural field, contacts with Berlin institutions, outings, events, school trips, discovery classes.

Berlin Cosmopolitan School (BCS) is a non-profit international school with a focus on the sciences, music and dance in the heart of Berlin. We offer Kindergarten and Preschool as well as Primary and Secondary School (German: Gymnasium). Our school, founded in 2004 with its two campuses, is located in Berlin-Mitte in a very quiet area between Alexanderplatz, Monbijou Park, Hackescher Markt & Prenzlauer Berg.

Today about 700 students from over 45 countries are enrolled at BCS. As an Â黨ÊÓƵ Baccalaureate World School we are authorized to offer the curriculum of the Primary Years Programme (PYP) and the IB Diploma Programme on the basis of the educational framework of Berlin. After 12 years, students may graduate with the IB Diploma and the German Abitur. At Berlin Cosmopolitan School we encourage students to become active and responsible world citizens.

This includes strong academics and multilingualism as well as the development of social and intercultural skills.

Berlin British School (BBS) is a warm and caring community of local and international families from all over the world. While we prepare our students to strive for academic success, we pride ourselves on our holistic education and have a genuine determination to know and care for everyone.

A central part of a student’s education at the Berlin British School is to nurture the development of character through an engaging curriculum and supportive pastoral care programme.

Our School is an inclusive school and offers an excellent education to students aged 2-18. In Grades 9 and 10, the school offers a number of Â黨ÊÓƵ General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) courses, the German MSA (Mittlerer Schulabschluss) and in Grades 11 and 12, the Â黨ÊÓƵ Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP). The IB DP is often described as the gold standard of international education. This allows our school the ability to adopt the best, internationally acclaimed enquiry-based learning process, whilst also fulfilling the requirements for Ersatzschulstatus (official recognition in the local school system).

Following an education at the Berlin British School, our students have been accepted into some of the top universities in Germany, the UK, the USA and the rest of the world.

John F. Kennedy School is one of the most sought-after and renowned schools in Berlin. Consistently high standards and the respective results ensure that we receive applications from all over the world every day.

The school’s bicultural, bilingual program is up-to-date and future-oriented. It is also a guarantee for the partnership between the United States of America and Germany with its very special, historically founded meaning for Berlin. The John F. Kennedy School considers it its educational mandate to develop the student’s entire personality. 

Freie Schule Anne-Sophie Berlin is not a traditional school. Our central focus is not so much on imparting knowledge as on providing children with comprehensive individual support and a modern, learning-friendly environment. We help them to acquire social and academic skills both individually and in groups, in a relaxed but goal-oriented learning situation.

This aim set by the founder of the school, Bettina Würth, characterizes the work of both learning partners and learning coaches. One of the most important premises is that each learning partner is supported according to his/her individual needs. This means that every learning partner behaves like a learning entrepreneur, which means that he or she realizes and accepts his or her own responsibility.

Our joint conviction that everyone is able to reach this goal is the basis for this behaviour.

Swiss Â黨ÊÓƵ School Berlin's educational concept lies at the heart of our social, pedagogical, didactical and entrepreneurial approach. But every concept is only as good as its implementation in everyday school life – that is why we make it our highest priority to live by it on a daily basis. The students are at the centre of all our efforts.

English and German play equal roles in school communication – in the classroom and in all parts of day-to-day school life. As a result, children learn to express themselves naturally and confidently in both languages. Our schools are part of the Swiss Â黨ÊÓƵ Schools Group, which has been a pioneer in the bilingual education arena since 1999. At present, more than 3.700 students attend SIS schools at one of our 16 locations in Switzerland, Germany and Brazil. 

The Â黨ÊÓƵ Montessori School Berlin is a private school in Berlin-Wansee located in the beautiful Landhaus Oppenheim. We are international – and bilingual! Our students come from a great diversity of countries; many are growing up in bilingual families.

Both our German and English speaking educators use the immersion method when they communicate with the children.

Platanus School Berlin is a bilingual educational institution (German/English) based in Berlin-Pankow with Kindergartens in two different locations and a Primary and Secondary School with a focus on mathematics and science. In our kindergarten, we ensure holistic and age appropriate care which takes the individual capabilities and talents of the children into consideration. Our ambitious educational concept and immersive bilingualism is ideal preparation for the children to continue in our primary school. Under the roof of a distinguished, listed building, our bilingual primary and secondary school offers optimal learning conditions, where natural curiosity and individual needs can find their place from Grade 1 all the way through to Grade 10.

Here, children and young people can learn in a calm environment, test themselves, develop their talents, deepen their interests, learn about cultural diversity and internalise languages. The time a child spends at kindergarten and school is an intensive and also incredibly important chapter in their lives and we would like to invite you and your child to spend this time with us in an international, caring and open community.

Nelson Mandela School Berlin provides quality bilingual education to children from a wide variety of backgrounds. English and German are our school’s official languages, but we do not stop at introducing our students just to German and Anglo-American values and traditions.

As a truly international school and a member of UNESCO’s Associated Schools Project Network (ASP), it is our business to acquaint our students with as many different aspects of life on this planet as possible – and to enable them to make a positive difference wherever they go.

Being named after Mr. Mandela, sub-Saharan Africa in general and South Africa in particular have a special place in our hearts, and we try and let that show wherever and whenever we can – be it in our classrooms or beyond.
