As a former teacher with a Masters degree in Education, I find I am continuously impressed by the…read morelevel of instruction and research-based educational policy at Berlin Metropolitan School. I find the school leadership and administration professional and passionate about delivering excellent education and creating an ethos of kindness and compassion. I also find they are very willing to receive parental feedback and thoughtfully consider ideas brought forward. My children have learned a great deal in the six months they have been at BMS, as well they have developed strong bonds with their teachers and classmates. I highly recommend BMS!

My experience dates back to 2015. At the time, my daughter was 5 years old. She spoke English when…read moreshe arrived in Berlin after having lived in the United States, but she did not speak German yet. Her integration into this school was extremely difficult: she was bullied by classmates to the point of crying, in front of teachers who did not appear to intervene or take the situation seriously. I also felt that the teaching staff was not trained to support English-speaking or bilingual children. There seemed to be very little consideration for children in this situation (and not all of them are necessarily English speakers). We were even called in and told that our daughter should repeat the year. We refused, and in hindsight, I believe this recommendation had more to do with class organization and enrollment management than with her actual academic abilities. The following year, after moving to another school, my daughter actually skipped a grade. This clearly showed that neither her intellectual level nor her maturity had been the issue; the only difficulty was that she had not yet acquired German. My impression is that this school is not truly designed to support bilingual children or children newly arriving in a German-speaking environment, but rather to serve affluent German families who want their children to learn English. Finally, the tuition fees are extremely high and, in my view, do not reflect the quality or the type of activities offered by the school.
