Overview

BBIS IS A LEADING INTERNATIONAL DAY AND BOARDING SCHOOLWelcome to BBIS Berlin Brandenburg International School, a place where students are empowered to reach their unique potential and thrive on a global stage.

As one of the world’s leading International Baccalaureate (IB) schools, BBIS proudly offers three IB programmes in the Primary, Middle and Diploma years of schooling to students from over 75 countries, as well as a huge range of extracurricular activities. Inclusive, diverse and expansive, we’re here to help each student discover and develop their passions in a warm and welcoming environment.

While English is our language of instruction, BBIS is a truly international school.

Our students hail from families who come from across the globe and share our values of humanity, tolerance and empathy. Together, we are building a caring, internationally minded community of students, teachers and alumni – people who truly have the potential to leave a positive mark on our world.

Every year, we welcome around 820 day students and around 80 boarding students, from 3 to 19 years of age. These students spend their days developing invaluable, life-long skills like critical thinking, languages and intercultural competencies across our early education, primary and secondary areas:

  • From ages 3-6, children join our early education community and learn within the framework of the IB Primary Years Programme
  • From ages 6-11, students join Grades 1 to 5 to pursue the IB Primary Years Programme
  • From ages 11-19, students join our secondary school to pursue the IB Middle Years Programme and IB Diploma Programme

In all of these programmes, we encourage students to be courageous and explore new opportunities, fostering a pioneering spirit that will help them succeed, no matter what the future holds.

Our overarching goal at BBIS is to help students become happy, well-rounded humans.

Our classes are small – usually with fewer than 20 students – so that everyone receives individual attention and support. Beyond the classroom, collaboration and cooperation between staff, students, parents and the wider community is very important to us.

Growing up is not easy, but we understand the challenges and changes that occur. We support our students with dedicated, caring professionals at every step of the way. This nurturing approach – coupled with 24/7 security and a strong child-protection policy – makes BBIS a safe and supportive environment for your child.

Boarding

Ideally situated in the centre of campus, the BBIS Boarding house is a comfortable and nurturing environment which supports the personal and academic growth of our students. A friendly team of mentors are here to help care for your child at all times.

ROOMS
Our boarding students live in very comfortable two-person rooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. Bedrooms are allocated based on gender, grade and home language; and single rooms are occasionally available for Grade 12 students.

To help your child feel right at home, we encourage them to bring their favourite personal items – such as lamps, cushions, or rugs – to decorate their rooms. It’s their space, after all.

FACILITIES
A range of quality facilities are available to all boarding students, with a focus on promoting a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Boarding facilities include:

A common room, which is a popular space for watching films and simply hanging out
A games room, full of fun games to enjoy with friends
Outdoor spaces in our boarding garden, where students can enjoy mealtimes in the summer, play sports and relax
A conference room with several computers and a student printer, as well as another large flatscreen TV (this space is also used for games, arts and crafts)
A gym and weights room
Wi-Fi is available throughout the boarding house.

COMMUNITY KITCHENS
On every level of the boarding house, students are often found in our community kitchens. These welcoming spaces are a place where students can prepare their own snacks and drinks outside of formal mealtimes.

Each community kitchen also includes laundry facilities and student fridges.

CAFETERIA
Boarding students enjoy their meals together in our school cafeteria, with daily breakfast, lunch and dinner provided, as well as brunch on weekends. The cafeteria is a wonderful space to sit together with friends and the mentor team to share a meal.
