International Schools in Berlin

Several international schools in Berlin cater to the needs of the city's expat population. These schools follow various curricula and help students to make a smooth transition into life in Germany.

Most expats living in Berlin opt to send their children to international schools. While fees can be high, international schools offer the option with the least disruption to a child's education.

For those who can't afford to send their child to an international school in Germany, the option of a bilingual school is also worth exploring. Bilingual schools are often public or private schools that offer German and another language, usually English. These schools are typically the top choice for both Germans and expats, so if this is the route you'd like to take, we recommend enquiring about admissions soon as possible. 

Admissions for international schools can be lengthy and may involve tests and interviews. Generally, schools will require your child's academic record, identity documents, and health certificates to begin the process, so we recommend getting these ready to ensure the process goes smoothly. 

Below are some top international schools in Berlin.
