there are some bilinugal schools in berlin which are run by Government but to get a place in these schools is very hard but yes they are free of cost. Some names of these schools are Nelson Mandela School, Charles Dickens School you can check their website on net to get more information about admission criteria.
Good Luck.

Hi simjees, hi all

Nice to "see" you guys, long time absent in the forum...

Detlef asked me to help a little bit in that subject.

Simjees is right, sorry to dissapoint the others. In Berlin (I think ONLY here) there are free English schools. They belong to a school group called "SESB" (Statische Europa Schule Berlin) and there are not only English schools but also other languages from the European countries (Italian, French, Portuguese, Spanish).

The schools I know are:

Charles-Dickens-Grundschule

Schulleitung:
Frau Ilse Krone
Tel.: +49-30-30328680
Fax: +49-30-303286819
EMail:
verwaltung@charles-dickens-gs.de
Internet:
www.charles-dickens-gs.de


Quentin-Blake-Grundschule

Schulleitung:
Frau Linda Andrae
Tel.: +49-30-63218031
Fax: +49-30-63218025
EMail:
info@quentin-blake-schule.cidsnet.de
Internet:
www.quentin-blake-schule.cidsnet.de/

There are at least 4 more English schools (2 in Berlin 2 in Potsdam) but they are "normal" international schools and no idea the prices but usually near 1000 Euro per month and usually "Elite" schools.

In the schools I mentioned, anybody living in Berlin can assist but I tell you you are not the only one who want to spare 1000 bucks so is probably not that easy to get a place. I recommend you to contact ASAP these schools.

In addition, German language is not really an option here. It doesn´t matter if your kids don´t speak German, they will have to learn it (like my kids did it). Even the Europaschule starts teaching in German (1st year = 80% English 20% German but for example Math is ALWAYS in German from the begining.

I hope this works!
