The American Women’s Club of Berlin invites you to our first School Fair! This free event offers Berlin-area families a chance to learn about bilingual (German/English) and international schooling options in Berlin and Brandenburg.
The Fair is offered as a free service to the international community by the American Women’s Club of Berlin, with the support of the Allied Museum and Linden Global Services. Families of all nationalities and backgrounds who are interested in bilingual German/English or English-only schooling are warmly welcome.
The Fair focuses on Primary School options in the Berlin area. In particular, we expect families with children who will start first grade in Fall 2024 or 2025. However, several participating schools also offer secondary education and may have secondary school information available. Families with children of any age are welcome.
