In our bilingual private schools, we teach children and young people to understand the world in all its cultural and linguistic diversity, local characteristics, and global contexts. We allow each child to be different – which is why we foster individual talents and interests. Browse through the following pages and learn more about our German-English private schools including nurseries, primary and secondary schools located in Berlin, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Munich, Frankfurt, and Neckarsulm.
We aim to enrich the educational landscape with high-quality bilingual schools. Working together with local authorities, educational institutions, and companies, we design each of our establishments as an integrated living space. The Phorms network includes 13 locations throughout Germany in Berlin-Mitte and Berlin-Zehlendorf, Frankfurt City and Frankfurt Taunus, Hamburg, Heidelberg, Heilbronn, Munich and Neckarsulm. Our bilingual, German-English nurseries, primary and secondary schools as well as the Heidelberg International School (H.I.S.) are independently managed.
Our private schools are supported by local companies that work on a not-for-profit basis. They are state-approved alternative independent schools – students attend them instead of an equivalent state school. Both our primary and secondary schools are subject to state inspection, and teaching is based on the framework curriculum of the respective state. Similarly, students are prepared for standard school-leaving certificates such as the Mittlerer Schulabschluss (a certificate of intermediate education after year 10) and the Abitur.
We are making a valuable contribution to a better world through education. We combine our strengths to help the next generation become holistic thinkers and responsible people who promote global unity through their individuality and open-mindedness.
Bilingualism is at the heart of Phorms’ philosophy. Bilingual education represents an advanced educational model in which two languages and two cultures are treated and used with equal importance. This results in high-quality education and a unique learning experience. Children taught under this model are in a position to make their way in two or more different cultures. Bilingual education has the additional benefit of fostering the development of more creative and flexible thinking, problem-solving abilities, and analytical skills. This means the students reach a broader range of learning goals.
At Phorms, the children learn their non-native language through the immersion method, which ensures optimal language acquisition. They are completely immersed in the new language, and thus learn it without certain pressures. This is all made possible by qualified teachers, each of whom communicates with the children in one of the two languages at a mother-tongue level.
