Welcome & Willkommen
to Phorms

At our private Berlin Mitte campus, around 950 children and students are immersed in a bilingual German–English education. They experience a vibrant, all-day learning community that supports individual development from kindergarten through to the Abitur in an inspiring environment. Since opening in 2006, Phorms Berlin Mitte has been enriching the educational landscape for nearly 20 years with its bilingual, future-oriented concept that combines personal growth with academic excellence.

Why families choose Phorms Berlin Mitte

Bilingual from beginning to graduation from secondary school

Our campus offers a continuous bilingual education programme from kindergarten to Abitur. From the age of two, your child is immersed in a bilingual environment—playfully and naturally. Native-speaking teachers guide the children in both German and English through the immersion method. They grow up in a setting that enriches them both linguistically and personally.

Skills for the future

At Phorms, children and young people develop important skills that prepare them for the future. Project-based work, critical thinking and creative problem solving are just as much a focus as social skills and personal development. The safe and reflective use of digital media is also an integral part of everyday school life – for confident and responsible participation in the world of tomorrow.

High-quality facilities

Our well-equipped sports halls, advanced school laboratories, specialised music rooms, and smartboards in every classroom make learning engaging and modern. Additionally, our theatre hall, complete with a professional stage, lighting, and sound system, provides the perfect venue for school performances and cultural events.

International and open-minded

Phorms Berlin Mitte is defined by its welcoming, international atmosphere. Situated in the heart of Berlin, the school offers your child the opportunity to experience the city’s rich diversity and cosmopolitan spirit, perfectly reflecting our motto: Local Schools – Global Education.

Individual support

Our focus is on developing your child's unique talents. Abilities are identified early and specifically fostered through initiatives such as remedial lessons and the revolving door extended-learning model. An engaging afternoon programme and various competitions further enhance the learning experience.

All-day care

At Phorms Campus Berlin Mitte, your child will benefit from comprehensive all-day care that extends beyond the classroom. Our state-of-the-art facilities for science, sports, and music provide the perfect environment for exploring and developing individual talents. Beyond the school day, we offer a diverse afternoon programme with engaging activities, along with an enriching holiday programme that brings social and cultural diversity to life. 

Location

Our campus is situated in Berlin’s Mitte district, near the Berlin Wall Memorial and Humboldthain Park. The garden square opposite provides a peaceful green space for breaks. With excellent transport connections, the campus is easily accessible. 

What inspires me every day is the vibrant atmosphere on our campus.

Curious, creative students from diverse backgrounds who support one another and boldly explore new paths. Here, diversity, community, learning, and opportunity truly grow hand in hand.«
