Our school 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.

Founded in 1994, the Berlin British School is an independent private school that has officially been granted the status of an authorised Ersatzschule by the Berlin Senat.

At BBS we are experienced in combining the best of British, international and German education to students aged 2-18 from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds. This diversity in our community of thinkers gives students an opportunity to explore issues from multiple perspectives and prepares them for the challenges they face in a rapidly changing and ever-more competitive world.

We offer:

  • Small class sizes (max. 20 students)
  • Education from preschool to the International Baccalaureate Diploma
  • Interactive inquiry-based teaching and learning
  • Highly qualified teaching staff
  • High standards of pastoral care with a focus on fostering students’ self confidence
  • Large extra-curricular programme
