International School in Berlin

Campus Berlin Mitte Phorms Education:
Campus Berlin Mitte is a bilingual, private and international school in the central district of Mitte in the heart of Berlin, Germany. Established in 2006, we offer whole-day education in German and English to over 500 students in our Nursery, Primary and Secondary School. We teach children and young people to understand the world in all its cultural and linguistic diversity, local characteristics and global contexts.

We allow each child to be different. We foster individual talents and interests to enable our students to remain self-confident and inquisitive. We are a community. We learn together and show one another respect and do so within a whole-day school environment. Our students are taught bilingually according to the immersion concept (German-English). We follow the German and international curricula. We employ a mix of native German and English people from a variety of educational backgrounds with various experiences. Experience in bilingual education is paramount for us.

Curriculum:
Our students are taught bilingually according to the immersion concept (German-English). We follow the German curriculum of the Federal State Of Berlin and international curricula: the “Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum” at Nursery, the Cambridge International Primary Programme (CIPP) in the subjects English, mathematics and science at Primary and the Advanced Placement Programme at Secondary School. At the end of their career, students may get the Advanced Placement International Diploma, the German MSA and the German Abitur.

Students who have been learning in a bilingual environment for many years perform at an above-average level in foreign languages, in their own mother tongue and in other subjects. Bilingualism promotes the cognitive development of children in such areas as awareness of language, creativity and flexible thinking.

Most of the teaching at our primary school takes place in English. Teachers deliver the lesson content at native speaker level in accordance with the immersion method. This means that teaching staff speak in the foreign language at all times, which pictures, gestures and symbols being used to support student understanding. This enables the children to learn a foreign language in a play-based manner and in a completely natural way within a wide range of contexts.

Our secondary school continues the bilingual concept introduced at nursery school and primary school. Teaching takes place in accordance with the immersion method, which means that all content is delivered exclusively in either German or English. Our secondary school students have no difficulty in following specialist content taught in English and are also able to discuss, write and give presentations in the English language.

We offer large classrooms with corners for reading, playing and experiments, interactive whiteboards with internet access and learning software, modern wireless laptops, a large music room with instruments; two brand-new gyms with a modern action centre, a library with student PC access and two laboratories.

Opening Hours:
Our school is open from 7.30 am to 6.00 pm. Before and after the lessons, students may attend our day care centre with an exciting afternoon programme. We also offer a comprehensive holiday programme.
