Kindergarten & Preschool
Learning objectives are developed by the Kindergarten & Preschool team and support the Primary Years Programme, which children take part in from age three. They are influenced by the Berliner Bildungsprogramm and the British “Early Years Foundation Stage”.
The Primary Years Programme provides an international pedagogical framework for children from the age of 3-12 year.
It celebrates and nurtures the natural curiosity with which children use to investigate their world. Teachers provide an exciting and challenging learning environment in which childrens questions drive their inquiry. As a class, in groups and as individuals, they find answers to their questions. Our aim at BCS is to help children to develop skills, knowledge and attitudes, which make them life-long independent and enthusiastic learners.
Primary School
Learning objectives support the Primary Years Programme and the Berliner Rahmenplan. It focuses on the total growth of the developing child, encompassing social, physical, emotional and cultural needs in addition to academic development. The PYP draws on research and best practice from a range of national systems with a wealth of knowledge and experience from international schools to create a relevant, engaging, challenging and significant educational framework for all children.
Secondary School (Gymnasium)
Learning objectives support the Berliner Rahmenplan and lead to the IB Diploma Programme and/or the German Abitur. The IB Diploma Programme is a demanding two year course of studies designed for highly motivated secondary school students between the ages of 16 and 19 years. Its reputation for rigorous assessment gives IB diploma graduates access to the world's leading universities and solid preparation for high achievement once enrolled.
