Finding an International School in Berlin

Language barrier is one of the concerns of expat parents when moving with their children abroad. Berlin has international schools that use English and bilingual in teaching and can continue the curriculum from the children's home country. 

As with any city abroad, most foreign assignees worry about the culture shock and language barrier not just for themselves, but for their kids as well. Choosing the right school is one of the keys to helping a child avoid feeling different or homesick. In Berlin, a majority of the expat community, especially those in short-term assignments, send their kids to international schools. Despite the high tuition cost, it is still the best options since their children will be among other international students that share the same experience with them.
