English is the language of instruction in the monolingual stream and in the bilingual stream. In Secondary, French and Spanish are offered as language subjects. German is taught at multiple levels: German Native, German B (Grades 6–8 and 9–10), and German Ab Initio (Grades 11–12).
The school has two streams in Primary: monolingual and bilingual. The bilingual Primary stream (English/German) is state-recognised and blends the Berliner Rahmenlehrplan with IBPYP; admission requires fluency in German. Both streams are taught together as one class, with Maths, PE and German taught in the respective stream. The Secondary School also offers a monolingual and a bilingual stream, with the bilingual stream providing teaching in English and German.
Berlin British School is an international school for students aged 3 to 18, spread across three campuses in Berlin. The curriculum combines the Berliner Bildungsprogramm with the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme in Early Years and Primary, offering bilingual English/German pathways or monolingual English instruction. The program is aligned to the Berliner Rahmenlehrplan and holds Ersatzschule and Ergänzungsschule status. Primary provides both bilingual and monolingual streams, while Secondary offers a monolingual English stream and a bilingual English/German stream. In Grade 10, bilingual students take MSA and IGCSE, while monolingual students take IGCSE; from Grade 11 to 12, students pursue the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Berlin British School operates on three sites: Early Years in Grunewald, Primary near the Olympic Stadium in Charlottenburg, and Secondary in Grunewald. Facilities include libraries, music rooms, two gymnasia, and large playgrounds; the GISST sports programme supports competitive sport for Grades 6–12, with after-school training and fixtures.
