Come in – We’re bilingual!

We are a bilingual educational institution (German/English) with a kindergarten and a primary and secondary school with a MINT or better known as STEM focus (Mathematics, Informatics, Natural Sciences, Technology) in Berlin-Pankow.

In our state-approved kindergarten with a preschool we offer holistic and age-appropriate care, taking into account the individual inclinations and talents of the children. Through a demanding pedagogical concept, immersive bilingualism and personal attention, we ensure optimal early childhood education.

Platanus Schule Berlin is an full-day school with a state-approved primary level ( Years 1 to 6), a state-approved secondary level I (Years 7 to 10) and a state-recognized upper secondary school II (Years 11 to 13). We would like to point out that our gymnasiale Oberstufe (upper secondary level II) is currently in the process of being approved.

Under the roof of a venerable and listed house – the former Pankow Post Office – and in our adjacent buildings, weas well as in our modern adjacent premises, we offer ideal learning conditions in our bilingual school from Year 1 to Year 13, where natural curiosity and individual needs find their place. Here, children and young people can learn in peace, try things out, develop talents, deepen interests, get to know cultural diversity and internalise languages. From this school year 2024/25, we are starting the gymnasiale Oberstufe (upper secondary level II) with Year 11. In future, all students shall have the opportunity to study bilingually for 13 school years and take their Abitur at our school! We would like to point out that the recognition of our upper secondary school is currently in the approval process.

The kindergarten and school years are intensive and very special periods in the life of a young person and we would like to invite you and your child to spend this time with us in an international and caring community.
