NEWS - school start

Recent decision of the City of Braunschweig:

Until 19th April 2021, students of Years 5 to 9 and Year 11 of the International School stay at home in distance learning (Scenario C).

Year 10 and Year 12 are in scenario B for their final exam preparation. Primary classes (Year 1 to Year 4) follow scenario B with a daily altering model.

We offer Emergency Supervision for our Lower and Upper Primary students.

Parents and students can come to school to collect their rapid-self tests next week.

Students and staff continue learning and teaching during these challenging times. The prolonged Corona lockdown sets new tasks for everybody: Time management and organizational skills play an essential role for every student. The majority of them could adjust quickly to the new situation and make the best out of it. The Year 10 and Year 12 students as our final years are back in school to prepare for their IGCSE and IB Diploma exams which are just around the corner. Our Year 5 to Year 9 and Year 11 students are engaged in daily online classes and stick to their regular schedule. To reduce the screen time, we have shortened the duration of lessons. Even our youngest students in Preschool and Reception Class have regular online lessons to stay connected with their teachers and educators. Families receive weekly learning packages offering reading, writing, and experiments and crafting activities. Years 1 to 4 students come to school every second day and are eager to finish their work at home. Teachers and educators are happy to see how motivated and enthusiastic every child is.
With the introduction of the iPads for all students and staff members, distance learning is much easier than during the first lockdown.
All Staff members will join professional development training during the winter break to get more ideas how to teach in a remote classroom. At the same time, we have extensive construction works going on; the traditional blackboard will be re-placed by modern digital boards. Students, teachers and educators are looking forward to exploring the new equipment in school soon.

We offer students the unique opportunity to learn about international culture through English education.
We offer prestigious academic careers which are recognised worldwide, as well as in Germany.

Year 1 celebrated carnival and had a lot of fun playing games.
Kinda: I liked the most the German birthday game 'Schokoladenwettessen'. When you role the dice and get a 6, you can start putting on your hat, scarf and gloves and then you try to eat a chocolate bar (Kinderschokolade) with a fork and a knife.
Basti: The famous carnival dance 'Ententanz' was so funny and Elvin did a video from all of us.
Eli: It was great to get so many sweets!
Lishi and Felicitas: We enjoyed the foam kiss competition!
And, of course: All would love to do it everyday…
