Registration for the School Fair is on Eventbrite due to the popularity of this event!
The American Women’s Club of Berlin invites you to our International Schools Fair! This event offers Berlin-area families of all nationalities and backgrounds entering, transitioning, or changing schools, a chance to learn about bilingual (German/English) and international schooling options in Berlin and Brandenburg.
By the end of this event, you’ll better understand how Berlin’s school landscape is structured, what questions matter most for your family, and how to make your shortlist of schools.
The Fair is offered as a service to the international community by the American Women’s Club of Berlin, with the support of the Allied Museum and Linden Global Services. It will cover both Primary and Secondary School options in the Berlin area. Families with children of any age are welcome.
