There are compelling reasons why you might choose to send your children to one of Germany\u2019s many fine international schools.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cMany English-speaking expatriates are educating their children at Germany\u2019s international schools, and an education at such a school has numerous advantages.<\/p>\n

There is, of course, instruction in the native language. And, since the student body is usually quite international, they expose the young people to a variety of cultures. They also do a better job than most German schools of introducing the students to computers, and the program of sports and extracurricular activities is more like what they are accustomed to at home.<\/p>\n

Physical plants and facilities are usually quite modern, clean and comfortable, with new equipment more conducive to learning. And the curricula among international schools is uniform, allowing ease of transfer. They usually are accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges<\/a> (NEASC) and the European Council of International Schools<\/a> (ECIS) and normally offer the International Baccalaureate<\/a>. They may also offer the American high school diploma, British A Levels and, sometimes, the GermanAbitur.<\/p>\n

The costs vary from school to school and in some cases may approximate what a US college education commands: as much as \u20ac16,000 per high school student per year. Preschool and elementary school grades may cost 30 to 50 percent less. Additional costs could include transportation, lunches, class trips and various special activities.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Berlin Brandenburg International School<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"
\n\u201cBerlin Brandenburg International School (BBIS), founded in 1990, is an inclusive, coeducational English language day and boarding school serving the internationally-minded community of Germany\u2019s capital region and beyond. The BBIS campus is located in the village of Kleinmachnow, bordering the southwest of Berlin, on a large, quiet wooded hill known as the Seeberg.<\/p>\n

BBIS offers an international education programme. An International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, BBIS is the first IB school in the world to be fully authorized by the International Baccalaureate organization in Geneva, Switzerland to teach all four IB programmes covering the 3 to19 year-old age range. The school is also fully accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA).<\/p>\n

From Early Childhood to grade 12, BBIS is truly an international school, with 680 students representing 60 nationalities. Classes are small, usually with fewer than 18 students. The school offers excellent facilities and an extensive extracurricular programme for students of all ages. In addition, specific support is provided for students with special needs and those for whom English is not a first language.<\/p>\n

In grades 11 and 12 students have the opportunity to earn the IB Diploma, a qualification recognized by top universities throughout the world, or the IB Career-related Certificate, an exciting new professionally-oriented programme that, with a flexible and individualized curriculum, aims at helping students develop a broad range of career-related competencies.<\/p>\n

The BBIS boarding facility, located directly on the school campus, houses 30 international students from grades 9 through 12. It is the first international, English-language IB World Boarding School in all of Germany. \u00a0 For more details please visit www.bbis.de<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

St. George\u2019s International School<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"
\nSt. George\u2019s International School has been an integral part of the international community in Nordrhein-Westfalen since 1985 when it was founded by an English family in Cologne. Since then, St. George\u2019s has founded further schools in Duisburg (2002) and Aachen (2007). With over 1000 pupils in its three schools, St. George\u2019s success lies in its aim to offer children happy school years.<\/p>\n

St. George\u2019s provides a full school day for pupils aged 3 to 18 and incorporates all school years including Nursery School and Reception Classes, Early Years, Lower School, Middle School, Upper School until A-Level or IB diploma. Both diplomas are accepted world-wide for university entrance.<\/p>\n

Individual support and attention are placed on pupils in regard to their native school system thereby enabling them to return smoothly to their native country\u2019s system if necessary. 45 % of St. George\u2019s student body is comprised of German pupils and the rest comes from 35 different nations; hence integration is not only theory but is practiced on a daily basis. A school uniform further enhances integration and solidarity between pupils. All children are introduced and immersed in traditions, holidays and history of the local German culture.<\/p>\n

It is St. George\u2019s aim to achieve the highest possible academic standard by means of small classes (maximum 20 pupils per class), a dedicated and enthusiastic staff and a positive atmosphere throughout the school. The student-teacher ratio of 7.5 to 1 allows for individual attention to be placed on each pupil\u2019s specific need, for stronger and weaker pupils alike. Non English speakers are given extra support through the ESL department. The first foreign language taught is German which is divided into German for native speakers and German for non-native speakers; the second foreign language taught is French. After school clubs are offered on a regular basis.<\/p>\n
