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.

My children are in grades 2 and 4 and neither me as a parent nor my children could be happier. The…read morestaff, educational-concept and community are truly bilingual, internationally-mixed and cutting edge. 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+.

Great little school where the staff will take care of you…read more I've studied German for months to this school and I can tell that the courses were interesting, my teacher was good and would pay attention to each of us. If you have any problem you can surely find someone at the office to help you. I enjoyed being to that school, I think they put the priority on being here for each of us and to the quality of the services. The bad points would be that it's a little bit expensive and that you cannot find intensive evening courses.

I highly recommend DAS Akademie Berlin for language learning. I had a fantastic experience there…read morethis summer as I worked on my beginning language skills. When I first contacted Das Akademie, the support staff responded quickly and were very friendly and supportive in helping me find the best fit for a class. I was only in Berlin for seven weeks and wished to develop more confidence in speaking. I also have mild/moderate hearing loss and felt it might be better to have a one-on-one teacher to work with me. I wear hearing aids and with them most people don't realize I have trouble hearing, but language learning can be more difficult. On my first day, I spent time with the Director at DAS Akademie as he helped to choose a teacher that was a perfect fit. She quickly figured out that although I had learned many individual vocabulary words, I was still having difficulty with pronunciation and sentence structure. Rather than rush through exercises to "cover" material, we spent extra time practicing asking and answering questions so that I felt comfortable actually speaking in public. She was not only very creative in coming up with different ways of helping me practice, she did so in such a positive, energetic and fun way. My seven weeks passed way too fast. Each day that I walked into Das Akademie Berlin I was greeting with big smiles and encouraging words from everyone. Next summer I will likely come back to Berlin and if I do I will definitely be coming back. Everyone from the Director, to the teachers and all of the support staff are wonderful.

Our Teacher has been incredibly supportive, with a teaching style that is both effective and enjoyable. His patience and enthusiasm have made learning German a positive experience. The school's emphasis on practical application and immersive learning sets it apart. Overall, Expath provides a welcoming and supportive environment, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to learn German. I also have friends enrolled and I only hear positive feedback from them.

I've spoken with them on Skype and in person twice and each time they were patient, informative, and friendly. Tia especially was relaxed and thorough through our meetings even taking time to explain confusing terms and going out of her way to accommodate us. Highly recommended and some of the best value for your money.

I signed my 17 year old daughter up for two weeks of beginning German at City College. On the…read morefirst day, after having completed the language test, she was put in a German class that far exceeded her abilities. That was frustrating but a small inconvenience. However, she did tell the staff she was feeling ill and felt she had a fever. They were dismissive of her(didn't even have a thermometer to check) and essentially brushed her off. Day 2 she came up positive with Covid. Thank god I was still in town. The woman in charge of student health was much more interested in defending her position(why she didn't help my sick child) than having any concern for her well being. This staff person should not be anywhere near education or young people. What a horrible person. My daughter has attended numerous summer camps and is very independent, this was not "In her head". As an educator I also know a well run program when I see one. Parents, you have been warned.

The Center is really the best. Lately they've been saving our lives with vacation classes but our…read morekids have loved courses there since daycare. They still sing all the songs they learned and continually ask when they can have another class with their favorite dance teacher (Rachel). The best thing is the level of the teachers: They're all qualified in the subjects they're teaching. I'm continually impressed.
