Residential Life

A vibrant, nurturing environment for your children to call home.

A DAY AT BBIS BOARDING

Life at BBIS Boarding balances a structured schedule with free time, fostering a ‘home away from home’ environment in which students have the support they need to feel safe and comfortable.

While every day is different, the scheduled moments offer the security of a routine. Here’s what a typical school day looks like:

Time Activity
7:15am
Breakfast and room check
8:00am - 2:55pm
School day including a warm midday meal at school
3:00pm - 4:30pm
Extracurricular activities at or outside of school

Group evening or free time

Room check and saying "good night"
10:30pm - 06:00am
Nightly quiet time Sundays through Thursday

Weekday afternoons are filled with art, music, drama and sports activities offered at school and in boarding. Our boarders can also access extra language instruction for German.

ON THE WEEKENDS

On weekends, we regularly take the students on excursions to experience Berlin’s diverse institutional, cultural and recreational offerings. We also offer a range of fun activities to keep them engaged.

Four or five evenings a year, we hold a “Culture Night” to celebrate the different cultures represented in boarding school. Students from one country cook a national dish together with the other boarding school students. They also decorate the dining room, choose culturally appropriate music and prepare a presentation and/or an activity for the boarding group.

SUPPORT FOR YOUR CHILD

We provide a biweekly cleaning and linen service, full meal service, comprehensive pastoral care and homework support. The morning and evening routines are supervised, as are weekends which regularly includes outings and activities.

Our boarders are asked to adhere to the BBIS Boarding School Guidelines, which outline our expectations regarding common values, acceptable behaviour and goal setting. These guidelines are set out in the Boarding School Handbook.
