Learning support offered

Each child has his or her own interests and abilities. For this reason, the Phorms concept is aligned towards the individual development of each child. A high care ratio, all-day teaching, inter-disciplinary team and project work, creative learning methods and exciting afternoon activities provide the scope for individual talents to develop.

In addition to this, the teachers foster and support individual children by providing regular small-group teaching within lessons. This is intended to support children who need to catch up in a core subject such as English, reading, writing or arithmetic. The assistance provided to children with learning difficulties also enriches teaching within the class community by delivering better integration and motivation for all children.

Qualities and characteristics best defining the school

Phorms Berlin Mitte is a bilingual private school where the students are taught in German and English using the immersion method.

PBM teaches children and young people to understand the world in all its cultural and linguistic diversity, local characteristics and global contexts.
PBM allows each child to be different PBM fosters individual talents and interests to enable its students to remain self-confident and inquisitive.
PBM is a community. The school learns together and shows one another respect and does so within a whole-day school environment.

Teaching approach of the school

The children learn the two languages according to the so-called immersion method. Each pedagogue speaks exclusively in his or her native language of either English or German.
Phorms Education does not merely see school as a place of learning. Phorms schools are a living environment. The whole-day community enables the children to learn about life and how to share as well as teaching them to represent their own interests and prove their abilities.
