What are the schools in Germany like?

"One of the best international schools in Germany is International School of Düsseldorf (ISD), which offers a comprehensive international education for students from around the world. The curriculum is based on the framework of the International Baccalaureate and is tailored to meet the needs of the diverse student population. Additionally, the school provides a robust extracurricular program. Another excellent international school in Germany is the Grunewald International School in Berlin. This school provides an education focused on the values of personal growth, social responsibility, and intercultural awareness. The school offers a range of activities to complement the curriculum, such as sports and music. The Munich International School is another great option for international students. The school has an international curriculum and offers students world-class facilities and an extensive range of extra-curricular activities. The school also boasts a low student-to-teacher ratio and highly qualified staff. For bilingual students looking for a school in Germany, Lycée Français Alexandre Dumas in Berlin is a great choice. This school follows the French National Curriculum and uses teaching techniques which adhere to the highest educational standards. Additionally, the school offers a wide range of activities designed to foster a truly international learning environment," wrote an expat with kids at in .

"If you want a great international school, this is not the one for you. Go to a different city if you can. For the cost paid at this school, one would expect a very high quality. But, before IB program in grades 11-12, the educational quality is quite average. Additionally, there are no programs or activities for advanced or gifted students. Help is provided for non-native English speaking students. In addition, tuition does NOT include field trips or class trips, all of which are out of pocket. For a such a small school, there is certainly an attitude of "we only do it this way; if you don't like it, too bad for you." For the price of going to this school (one of the highest in Germany), one would expect a bit more flexibility. But, it appears that the end product is not individualized learning but every student on the same schedule and path," commented one expat when asked about International School Hamburg in Hamburg.
