Only one international school in Hamburg?

14 years ago

Hi!

I am considering taking a job in Hamburg (moving from the US, my home), and I have two children (ages 7 and 10).

From my internet searching, I can only find one international school in Hamburg (International School Hamburg). Is this really the only international school for this large city?

If so, I seek advice :). I have read mixed, mostly negative actually, reviews of the school. Also it is rather expensive... or else my software developer salary just isn't enough.

Any suggestions are welcome! I am even pondering the wisdom of doing just nine months of language classes in hopes that my children would then be able to go to normal German schools in 2011.

Thanks in advance,
Michael
