Phorms Campus Hamburg was established in 2008 as part of the nationwide Phorms education network. It comprises a Day Care Centre, a Primary School, and a Secondary School, all privately funded. It offers bilingual education in German and English from nursery through the secondary level, with native-speaking staff supporting students since 2011 within a cosmopolitan community of families from 45 nations. The Phorms network has existed for over 20 years, enriching the educational landscape with bilingual nurseries and schools, a teacher training academy, and international schools.
Phorms Hamburg forms a vibrant international community made up of families from 45 nations. The campus provides all-day care from 7:30 am to 6 pm and extensive afternoon and holiday care programmes that contribute to social and cultural diversity. Open Day is offered and Summercamp 2026 is available for families to engage with the campus. The school is a certified "School without Racism, School with Courage," reflecting its commitment to intercultural openness and a welcoming environment.
The Friends' Association of Phorms Schools Hamburg e.V. has supported the bilingual school since 2008 as a recognised non-profit organisation. It is formed by dedicated parents, teachers, and friends who work together to foster an inspiring learning environment. The association funds improvements to facilities, supports low student-to-staff ratios and co-teaching, enables extended after-school care, and finances scholarships to ensure broad access to the Phorms concept. Contributions come from membership fees, donations, and events, and membership requests are coordinated through the association. The association is chaired by Dr Klaus Andreas Nagel.
