It is not only our historic brick building from the Wilhelminian era that can look back on a long history, but also the Berlin Mitte campus itself. It was opened in 2006 as the very first Phorms school campus. More than 900 children and young people currently experience a bilingual all-day community in German and English here. From nursery through primary school to secondary school, they are supported in their development by our around 180 colleagues. In addition to bilingual education, one of our fields of special focus is STEM. The holistic afternoon programme ranges from sports and music to creative writing.
High-quality and excellently equipped school laboratories are available for the natural sciences. The school grounds have two sports halls, an exercise hall as well as specially equipped music rooms.
In addition, there is a 1:1 programme with tablets for Years 5-9 and students in Years 10-12 are equipped with their own laptops. Everyone also has access to our versatile campus library.
You can find more specific benefits in the relevant section below.
When you start, you will receive training on the Phorms concept so that you can quickly find your feet. We would be delighted if you would like to contribute your own strengths and interests. It is also particularly nice that you can see the children you look after grow up on their way to the Abitur. However, if you do need a break, you have 30 vacation days a year at your disposal.
We can use the school's sports facilities and often go to the adjacent playground. We have lots of musical instruments that you can discover and try out together with the children.
In our PhorMinis nursery, around 35 educators look after around 160 children from the age of 2. There are nine age-homogeneous groups and a reception for the year before school entry. In addition to language, we focus on movement and music. Despite the participatory approach, routine is important to us for the children. They go to the library and to sports once a week. Excursions with the children are also regularly on the agenda. Depending on their age, we also visit the ball pool or the laboratory once a week to learn how to use the Smartboard and carry out our first experiments.
With the support of the educators in the classroom, concentrated work is possible, even in small groups. In addition, our school social worker supports the students in the social and emotional areas so that you can concentrate fully on your core competencies as a teacher. Extra time is set aside in the timetable for your planning and we encourage and support further education and training so that you can always be the teacher you want to be.
Supervision is shared throughout the team and there is a great deal of friendliness and courtesy throughout the campus. The international nature of the team means that you can experience the feeling of an international working atmosphere in the heart of Berlin. We also offer you the opportunity to complete your traineeship at our primary school.
Digitalization plays a central role at Phorms. Accordingly, all classrooms are equipped with smartboards and tablets and laptops are available, including for you as a teacher.
In addition to our sports halls, the two fully equipped music rooms and the library, you can also use the school environment to organize your lessons. The teaching materials are included and of course you do not have to pay for them.
In our primary school with four classes, around 500 children are taught and cared for by around 90 teachers. We follow the Berlin curriculum and incorporate various best practices from around the world into our English lessons.
We have a class size of 22 students and an educator in each class supports the teacher and encourages the students. Lessons and various projects are prepared together as a team.
Our team is very international and we are a team. Teachers and educators work hand in hand so that, for example, supervisors are also taken on by teachers. Where possible, you can contribute your own strengths to the AGs. The friendliness in the team and the courteous cooperation are truly unique.
The fact that you, as an educator, are involved in a large part of the lessons is a good opportunity for your personal development. We support you with training and further education. In addition, there are monthly team supervision meetings where we gather feedback from each other.
There is sufficient preparation and follow-up time available during the working day. You have 30 days of vacation to recover. You also have the opportunity to complete your apprenticeship with us.
Many rooms are available for you to organize the afternoon and holiday programme. We can easily provide all the materials you need, and the primary school facilities, such as the sports hall and library, can also be used.
As an educator, you will not only be involved in our afternoon programme. To a large extent, you will also support the teachers in the classroom. You are usually assigned to 1-2 fixed classes. Together with the teacher, you will prepare the lessons and various projects. You will support the students in the classroom and also provide social support, for example when it comes to the class council or emotional learning.
In the afternoon, we work in the 1st and 2nd grades on a partially open basis with reference educators. Year 6 also has a reference educator, and in Years 4 and 5 we work in an open, holistic way.
In the afternoon and during the holidays, we offer internal and external activities on the topics of exercise, health/nutrition, art/culture and literacy. During the holidays, you will also be responsible for a group as a reference educator.
As a teacher, you will be integrated into a team of around 45 colleagues. You will be given your own laptop and have access to comprehensive administrative support from our internal IT service. Our processes and procedures are largely digitalized so that you can concentrate on the essentials. You will have access to modern teaching materials for your teaching activities.
In addition, the close exchange with our international team will enable you to gain new perspectives and ideas that can enrich you both professionally and personally. In the first year, we will provide you with a mentor so that you can familiarize yourself ideally and always have a direct contact person.
We have spacious facilities, including a separate floor for Year 11 and 12 students. You can use our very well-equipped specialist rooms for science, art and music as well as our own library to organize your lessons. We also have a multi-purpose room (MPR) for projects, exhibitions and events as well as a modern theater hall for shows, music evenings and other events.
Two study rooms, a lounge, a kitchen and a cafeteria are available for optimal working opportunities. In addition, the classrooms from grades 5 to 10 are individually designed to create an appealing learning environment.
More than 250 students are taught by over 45 teachers at our secondary school. The languages of instruction are roughly equally divided between German and English. Our secondary school begins in year 5 with a bilingual and scientific focus.
There is a maximum of 24 students in each class and there are small advanced courses for 5 or more students.
Your tasks are varied and offer scope for creativity. In addition to an attractive salary, we offer you 30 vacation days and a strong community within our team.
The parents and children on our campus value your work and see you as an integral part of our nursery and school life.
Our offices are modernly equipped. You have your own laptop and several screens at your disposal.
Our school administration team keeps everything together. Our colleagues work closely with the various departments and receive support from our central department at our headquarters nearby.
In the administration team, the school management, admissions coordinator, business managers, front office assistants, IT service staff, building technicians and kitchen staff work hand in hand to ensure the smooth running of the school and nursery.
