| Teaching approach of the school |
FSAS is a bilingual school covering the full span of primary and secondary education, up to the Abitur (roughly the equivalent of A-levels or Advanced Placement). FSAS provides full-day teaching in German and English, and the students, or “learning partners” as FSAS calls them, learn in a multicultural community. This gives them a global perspective from an early age, and enables them to achieve internationally recognised standards of education. As a state-approved independent school, the Freie Schule Anne-Sophie Berlin offers the opportunity to take the Mittlere Schulabschluss (roughly equivalent to GCSEs) and the Abitur. |
