About Berlin British School
The Berlin British School is an IB World School that runs the PYP, IGCSE and Diploma programmes. We specialise in providing a first-class education to children in the local community as well as to children of embassy staff and mobile parents who are in Berlin for only a few years. After completing the IB Diploma programme, students from the school progress to universities across the globe. Students can pursue an education entirely delivered through the medium of English, or they can choose to develop their language skills to a high standard by studying selected subjects in German.
Learning & language support (SEN / EAL)
This school states meaningful learning-support provision — still confirm it fits your child's specific need.
Why this matters
Special-needs provision at international schools varies widely and is rarely guaranteed by the school itself — and local legal duties differ by country. Confirm what this school provides, in writing, before you commit.
