Our Friends’ Association:
Providing Help and Support since 2008

Since 2008, our non-profit Friends’ Association has supported our bilingual school in Hamburg through membership contributions, donations, and events. The Friends’ Association is made up of dedicated parents, teachers, and friends of the school who work together to foster an inspiring learning environment. The association’s funds are crucial for the school’s success and development, helping to provide the best possible educational experience for our students. Join our community and actively contribute to the advancement of our school.

Who Is the Friends' Association 

The Friends' Association of Phorms Schools Hamburg e.V. was founded in 2008 as a recognized non-profit. It's the cornerstone of the Phorms concept — without it, Phorms Campus Hamburg wouldn't exist in its current form, nor could we offer the quality and range of education we provide today. That's because the school and the Friends' Association share the same goal, but work with two separate pots: school fees cover what the school needs for day-to-day operations. The Friends' Association is an independent organization that funds additional programs and projects on campus that go beyond what is covered by regular tuition. In this way, it makes a significant contribution to the implementation and further development of the Phorms concept.

Be part of our dedicated community.

Help us achieve the Friends’ Association’s goals. The funds we raise are the foundation for the school’s success and continued development. With your support, we can offer our students the best educational experience possible. These contributions are essential to making the projects and initiatives that benefit our students—and your child—a reality. Support us by becoming an active member.«

What our Friends’ Association makes possible

Modern Learning

We invest continuously in equipment and learning materials, funding high-quality bilingual teaching resources as well as larger projects that go beyond the regular school budget.We invest continuously in equipment and learning materials, funding high-quality bilingual teaching resources as well as larger projects that go beyond the regular school budget.

Better Staff-to-Child Ratios

We finance additional staff to improve the child-to-staff ratio, so every child receives more individual attention. This also takes pressure off teachers, educators, and teaching assistants.

Educational Opportunities for All

We fund subsidized school places, support project weeks, and award scholarships to students who show outstanding academic and social commitment.
