The Bilingual Abitur is a German qualification that enables students to study at both German and foreign universities.


The final examinations of the German Abitur at the end of grade 12 consist of three written and one oral examination as well as the fifth examination component. The fifth examination component is a “special learning achievement” in the form of a presentation on a specialist topic.


Students in the 10th grade complete the “Mittlerer Schulabschluss” (MSA) of the state of Berlin. Students who have spent less than two school years at a German school can, on application, replace the German examination with an English Science examination. Further examinations are an oral examination in English and a presentation examination. In the presentation exam, students give a presentation on a topic of their choice.

According to Berlin regulations, successful completion of the MSA examinations is a prerequisite for students to be able to enter the upper school.

In our kindergarten we offer holistic and age-appropriate care, taking into account the individual inclinations and talents of the children. Through a demanding pedagogical concept, immersive bilingualism and personal attention, we ensure optimal early childhood education.


Under the roof of a historical and listed building, as well as in our modern adjacent ‘Second House’, we offer ideal learning conditions in our bilingual school from Year 1 to Year 10, where natural curiosity and individual needs find their place. Here, children and young people can learn in peace, try things out, develop talents, deepen interests, get to know cultural diversity and internalise languages. From the school year 2024/25, we will start the gymnasiale Oberstufe (upper secondary ecucation) with Year 11. Then, in principle, all students will be able to study bilingually for 13 school years and take their Abitur at our school!

The kindergarten and school years are intensive and very special periods in the life of a young person and we would like to invite you and your child to spend this time with us in an international community.
