We are a bilingual private school located in the centre of Hamburg. As part of the nationwide Phorms network, bilingual education in German and English is at the heart of everything we do here on campus. Since 2011, our native-speaking staff have been supporting children and young people on their educational journey—within a vibrant international community made up of families from 45 different nations.

No, but they should be fluent in at least one of the two languages of instruction (German or English).
Our meals are balanced, regionally sourced, and certified organic. The trained chefs of our catering service “Bio für Kids” prepare the meals fresh every day in the school’s kitchen. The meals we serve are based on the quality standards of the German Nutrition Society. Each day, children can choose between two dishes (one of which is vegetarian) and a raw food option at the salad bar. Fresh water is available throughout the day. For lunch, there are also delicious and healthy beverage options such as herbal or fruit teas. The meal plan typically includes fish once a week and poultry or beef from organic farms twice a week. We do not serve any pork. Since we value community, the students and educational staff eat together. We place importance on good table manners and appropriate behaviour during meals. Afterwards, there is plenty of time for playing and running around outside during the lunch break.
For families still living abroad and unable to arrange trial days on-site, we offer an alternative admission process.
