Berlin Bilingual School

A wonderful place for multilingual/international children to learn, grow and blossom. We lived in many places around the world and came to BBS with a child in grade 2 and in grade 4. Our children seamless made the transition into the school and always felt supported by the BBS teaching and Erzieher/in team.

My daughter was extremely happy at the secondary school. The school was her choice, she made a lot of friends, had great relationship with her teachers and received a top education in English and German.

This is an amazing school!! Both our kids loved the primary school (and are now very happy at the BBS Secondary school!). They had wonderful teachers who really inspired them to enjoy learning. It was a very nurturing and safe environment where they really thrived. We as parents loved the friendly atmosphere and the community where we all felt welcome straight away.

Our son went to BBS and our daughter still does.
We always felt that our children were safe and in the right place. Even in the early years of the school (around 10 years ago?) when things were not always easy, the teachers, educators and management of the school always exuded integrity, calm and focus:
That it's about the children, about a good education and about allowing self-confident children to grow into self-confident adults.

This spirit has always had an influence on the entire community: There is a very positive family feeling there. Our boy was very happy, our girl still is.

We joined Berlin Bilingual school because it was close by and bilingual. As a German-American family, that was our highest priority. We liked that the school was started by parents and we found the educational concept to fit well with our own philosophy: education centered on individual learning, mixed grades in 1-4, equal learning in German and English with teachers working as a team, truly bilingual staff and educators (Erzieher) integrated in the classroom. Also the full-day school with lots of activity opportunities was important to us.

What we hadn't expected was the vibrant community of like-minded families that are part of the school community. Parents are an integral part of activities and events and welcomed us right in. This was a unexpected surprise and a benefit of the school we now couldn't imagine being without.

With one child having moved on to BBS secondary and a second heading through primary, we see the advantages of continuity in being part of this school.

BBS kids are a uniquely self-aware, globally-oriented, and inclusive bunch. We love being part of this school and seeing our kids growing into fully formed, creative and empathic humans guided by BBS teachers and staff.
