The Berlin Japanese International School follows the Japanese curriculum and operates as a full-time, Japan-affiliated institution for students from Grade 1 to Grade 9. It is located in Lankwitz, southern Berlin, and since 2023 occupies a city building after relocating from the Wannsee/Conrad campus due to space constraints. It serves students from Grade 1 through Grade 9 in small-class settings. Class sizes are small, enabling individualized instruction within a warm, supportive environment. The school emphasizes mastery of basics, advancement of higher-level learning, and problem-solving, with preparation aligned to exam readiness. The program offers unique Berlin-based experiences, including a summer school with overnight stays, participation in the Berlin Mini Marathon, Opera Workshop, and a visit to the Berlin Philharmonie dress rehearsal. Extra-curriculars include cross-grade activities that foster peer mentoring. The school does not publish its address publicly; inquiries should be made by email.
