About Us

Our German-English Phorms Campus Berlin Mitte is conveniently located in the heart of the city. A nursery, a primary school and a secondary school are all located under one roof - a total of 930 children and young people currently learn and play together within an interna-tional campus community. The framework for our international orientation is our bilingual concept, which we implement according to the immersion method. Alongside the charming brick building, the special features of our location are the family-like atmosphere and the kind-hearted spirit. The campus also offers two gyms, a theatre hall and a library flooded with light.
