The Quentin Blake Grundschule is a state primary school in Berlin and a state bilingual European School (German-English). The school operates two concepts (a regular primary stream and a bilingual European School stream) that shape the day, yet forms a large bilingual and multicultural community. Quentin Blake, an English children's book illustrator and author who has illustrated more than 300 books and is best known for illustrating Roald Dahl's books, visited the school in 2011.
Our school thrives on daily bilingual life. Even though the day is structured around two different school concepts—the regular primary stream and the bilingual European School stream—we remain a large, bilingual, and multicultural school community. We share daily school life, celebrate festivals together, and use the after-school care program every day.
The PTA, the Förderverein (Friends of QBGS), provides financial support for special items and activities to enhance the school day and offers active parents the opportunity to help shape the school.
Quentin Blake Grundschule is a state primary school in Berlin offering two concepts: the Regular Primary Branch and the Bilingual European School Branch (SESB). The SESB provides integrated bilingual instruction in English and German from grade 1, with roughly half of the class speaking English and half German. From grades 5 and 6, Science, History and Geography are taught in English, while Mathematics remains in German; French is introduced in grades 5 and 6. The Regular Branch follows Berlin Senate guidelines, with a fixed timetable and a half-day model (8:00–14:25) and optional care before or after class. The school operates on a shared campus with the Biesalski Förderzentrum, and facilities include a four-hectare schoolyard, a sport hall (Aula), libraries, a grand-piano music room, a Mensa, and a teaching kitchen. The Erasmus+ program, the UNITED IN DIVERSITY theme, and after-school clubs foster intercultural learning. Open House Day and libraries are strengths.
