Berlin Brandenburg International School (BBIS) is a fully accredited English-speaking International Baccalaureate (IB) school with 560 students in preschool through 12th grade. The Seeberg campus, just south of Berlin on the Machnow Lake, boasts a superb new sports field and gymnasium and rapidly expanding, up-to-date school facilities. Besides top quality academics, BBIS offers an extensive extra curricular programme in sports, the fine arts and social services. The IB Diploma has now been officially recognized as equivalent to the German Abitur. Thus IB graduates are qualified to study at German and European universities. The IB Diploma is also recognized at colleges internationally and in the United States and Canada. In our boarding community, we house 10 to 15 international BBIS students who are determined to nurture their own strong minds, bodies and spirits and to further international understanding and tolerance among themselves, in our Berlin-Brandenburg community and throughout the world. The boarding facility offers newly renovated single, double and triple rooms, including washrooms. A comfortable common room, kitchen, laundry room and courtyard enable the boarding students to truly feel at home and enjoy and learn from each other as a group. An adult mentor living in an apartment adjacent to the student’s quarters is responsible for the students’ well-being during their time in Berlin. The morning and evening routines are supervised as well as the weekend time, which will regularly include outings and activities. In the boarding school we aim for our students to:
- become competent and tolerant citizens in a dynamically growing
- find enrichment in all aspects of boarding school life;
- learn to take responsibility for their own social and academic progress;
- learn to become aware of, and take responsibility for, the needs of others;
- actively learn foreign languages and experience foreign cultures;
- develop the core leadership skills needed to become competent, empathetic listeners, writers and speakers in today’s global society.
All of the boarding school offerings, including the living space, duties, projects, rituals and after school and weekend activities, are conceived to further these goals and provide the students with a nurturing and safe environment. BBIS has already built a strong commitment to the intellectual, emotional and social development of young people from all over the world and is excited to be able to start this unique international boarding community in August 2008. |
