You would like to teach your children a part of Europe?
You would like to offer your children a school where German and Greek are equally important languages of instruction, then we welcome you to Athene Elementary School.
The Staatliche Europa-Schule Berlin (SESB) Athene is a bilingual school, where the learning groups are always composed bilingually. The Athene European School sees itself as a school where, in addition to intensive language acquisition, the concept of direct intercultural contact between people of different languages and cultures is paramount. (Link to the mission statement)
In class, German and Greek are spoken in equal parts (50 percent each). The rules and regulations of the Berlin school apply to the SESB (e.g. for framework curricula, grades and transitions).
In addition to German teachers and educators, Greek teachers and educators teach German-Greek on an equal footing at the SESB, with the same responsibilities and the same share of the language of instruction. As a result, both Germans and Greeks find a counterpart in their language and cultural norms and values. The conception of the SESB takes into account, among other things, the realization that multilingualism and intercultural competence increasingly open up professional and private opportunities.
Mathematics is taught to all children in German and in science, history and geography.
