BBIS Berlin Brandenburg International School is a leading IB World Day and Boarding School (Grade 9-12), based in the capital region of Berlin, Germany.
Offering three IB programmes, we inspire a lifelong love of learning and excellence in a welcoming, supportive environment. Small class sizes, an engaging curriculum, an extensive extracurricular programme and incredible teachers combine to help our students realise their full potential.
NURTURING COMPASSIONATE GLOBAL CITIZENS
While English is our language of instruction, BBIS is a truly international school.
Our students hail from families who come from across the globe and share our values of humanity, tolerance and empathy. Together, we are building a caring, internationally minded community of students, teachers and alumni – people who truly have the potential to leave a positive mark on our world.
DELIVERING INCLUSIVE EDUCATION
Every year, we welcome around 900 day students and around 80 boarding students, from 3 to 19 years of age. These students spend their days developing invaluable, life-long skills like critical thinking, languages and intercultural competencies across our early education, primary and secondary areas:
From ages 3-6, children join our early education community
From ages 6-11, students join Grades 1 to 5 to pursue the IB Primary Years Programme
From ages 11-19, students join our secondary school to pursue the IB Middle Years Programme and IB Diploma Programme
In all of these programmes, we encourage students to be courageous and explore new opportunities, fostering a pioneering spirit that will help them succeed, no matter what the future holds.
CREATING A SAFE AND HAPPY SPACE FOR STUDENTS
Our overarching goal at BBIS is to help students become happy, well-rounded humans.
Our classes are small – usually with fewer than 20 students – so that everyone receives individual attention and support. Beyond the classroom, collaboration and cooperation between staff, students, parents and the wider community is very important to us.
Growing up is not easy, but we understand the challenges and changes that occur. We support our students with dedicated, caring professionals at every step of the way. This nurturing approach – coupled with 24/7 security and a strong child-protection policy – makes BBIS a safe and supportive environment for your child.

Berlin International School is a leading, non-profit day school offering a comprehensive education program for students aged 6 to 18 in the greater Berlin and Brandenburg areas. BIS is an International Baccalaureate Organisation World School as well as an official exam center of Cambridge University and Collegeboard (USA) and is accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS). Furthermore, BIS is also officially approved by the Departments of Education of the city of Berlin as Grundschule und integrierte Sekundarschule mit gymnasialer Oberstufe.
BIS is committed to excellence in education and the personal growth of every student. The students learn in a multicultural community where each person is respected regardless of nationality, race, or religion. Students discover the world, its people, and its cultures through direct experience. Through play, study, and the relationships they form, students at BIS learn to appreciate their own strengths and to respect differences rather than fear them. Combined with academic rigor, this experience extends outside the classroom and equips students for success and global citizenship beyond school.

The Berlin British School is an IB  World School that runs the PYP, IGCSE and Diploma programmes. We specialise in providing a first-class education to children in the local community as well as to children of embassy staff and mobile parents who are in Berlin for only a few years. After completing the IB Diploma programme, students from the school progress to universities across the globe. Students can pursue an education entirely delivered through the medium of English, or they can choose to develop their language skills to a high standard by studying selected subjects in German.
The main purpose of the Berlin British School is to ensure that the young people the school serves are well prepared for the challenges they face in a rapidly changing world. While preparing young people to thrive through academic success, a central part of their education at the Berlin British School is to nurture the development of character throughan engaging curriculum and supportive pastoral programme. The school's community of students has members from diverse international backgrounds, which gives students an opportunity to explore issues from multiple perspectives.

The John F. Kennedy School is a bilingual, bicultural German-American tuition-free public school.
The school’s bicultural, bilingual program is up-to-date and future-oriented. It is also a guarantee for the partnership between the United States of America and Germany with its very special, historically founded meaning for Berlin. The John F. Kennedy School considers it its educational mandate to develop the student’s entire personality. From the Entrance Class to the Abitur or High School Diploma Sports, Music, Drama and Art all play an essential role.
The use of new technologies, the changing view of contents as well as a focus on the learning process itself play a defining role. Preparing the students for coping with ever faster developing social and global changes, learning communication and team competence, and taking over responsibility for others are just as crucial.
