There are a number of international schools in Berlin that cater to the needs of the city's expat population. These schools follow various curricula and help students to make a smooth transition into life in Germany.
Most expats living in Berlin opt to send their children to international schools. While fees can be high, international schools offer the option with the least disruption to a child's education.
For those who can't afford to send their child to an international school in Germany, the option of a bilingual school is also worth exploring.
