What are the schools in Germany like?
When we asked about the schools in Germany, they said...
"Elementary school is a positive environment for the children. The children are taught to help each other, hold the door open for the person behind you, say please and thank you, which is not always found in the German culture. Middle school is need of improvement, non-native English teacher teaching English. Math teachers non-motivating and non-inspirational. There is an advantage for the teachers, class sizes are small and yet they are unable to inspire. No IBO, or IGCSE proven programs," wrote an expat with kids at International school Augsburg in Gersthofen.
"I would advise someone considering enrolling to do it early. Non-German speaking children are supposed to have priority. No German is required," commented one expat when asked about Berlin Kids International Kindergarten in Berlin.
