THE BSB SHUNYI GERMAN PRIMARY PROGRAMME

Following the German National Curriculum, our German-speaking Primary School students study core subjects from Klasse 1 to Klasse 4. The English National Curriculum is integrated into our learners’ programmes through non-core subjects and a variety of whole-school activities. Building on the skills introduced in the Early Years, our children grow in confidence and independence, and experience more formal methods of learning.

A TAILORED GERMAN PRIMARY PROGRAMME 

Supported by the German Embassy and companies including Volkswagen/Audi, BMW, Daimler, and Siemens, our innovative German Primary Programme in Shunyi District, Beijing, offers an immersive, bilingual education that spans the specialist subjects.  

Our students learn from talented German Primary School teachers, who are all qualified in line with German standards. For additional support, we also have a teaching assistant in each classroom.

A BILINGUAL GERMAN PRIMARY SCHOOL EDUCATION

Through our German Primary Programme in Beijing, core subjects are taught according to the Thuringia Curriculum in German, including Mathematics, German, Topic (Humanities and Science), Art and PSHE. 

We’re also committed to bilingualism, and the integration of our German Primary Programme into whole-school activities. Our German students’ classrooms are in the main body of the campus, alongside their English-speaking peers’ classrooms. All our students have their lunch and break times together, too.  

In this way, our German students naturally grow their bilingual abilities. They also take part in Music and PE lessons in English, through the English National Curriculum. They attend weekly assemblies, participate in school productions, and go on field trips in English, too. We also offer English as an Additional Language (EAL) support and Chinese lessons.
