Welcome to Berlin Kids International School Our school…read moreopened in September 2007. It is the first truly international primary school in the eastern part of Berlin, and it provides affordable English-German education for bilingual families. Berlin Kids International School counters a trend over the past few years, in which expensive private schools are somewhat-anxiously established to meet part of the demand for international education. This does not correspond with our idea of education. With the help of public funding and in cooperation with the non-profit Pfefferwerk gGmbH, Berlin Kids International School is able to accept children from all income groups. Our School is a long-term adventure for our international families. Starting off as a primary school in 2007, Berlin Kids International School will grow with its students to be their home in higher levels too. For this purpose we have found a very suitable building at Weinstraße 1, a large 5-story structure in a leafy park near the heart of downtown. Both English and German are spoken inside and outside our classrooms. Internationality is a vital aspect for the identity of the school, and it stands in the core of our concept. We judge our international, multicultural and bilingual background as a foundation for modern school education in a European and world context. We expect that many families in the east-center of Berlin will profit from our school in the coming years. We also believe that every child has a right to an affordable and accessible education. Therefore, our school will be of service to the fast-growing group of international families in this part of Berlin. Main classes will take place between 8:30 and 16:00. But since many of our parents are self-employed or working full time and therefore depend on longer hours of daycare, our doors will open early at 7:30 and close at 18:00.

The ganztag (all-day) aspect of mixing schooling and Hort/day-care suits our family work/life balance perfectly, while motivating and not over-burdoning the children. The kids are so happy they don't want to leave school in the afternoons! I couldn't recommend BBS (formally BKIS) more for truly bilingual education from grades 1-10+.

Very calm and peaceful school with a nice play ground, kitchen where they make food for the kids.read more
