I think the teachers are excellent and the high school curriculum is very focused on getting students into a good university. The small class sizes and intimate student teacher relationships ensure that everybody finds a way to fulfil their respective potential. The extra curricular programs offered at the ISH are tremendous, engaging and very inclusive. The equipment available for the teachers ans students is of the very highest standard. What was worth the most to me was a feeling of safety, as if this was home away from home. I would do anything to have my children go to this school if I ever get the chance to have some.

Diese Schule war für mein Kind ein Albtraum. Mobbing gehörte zum Alltag, und das Schlimmste war,…read moredass weder die Lehrer noch die Schulleitung eingegriffen haben. Im Gegenteil: Mein Kind wurde sogar von Lehrkräften schikaniert. Die Atmosphäre ist von Rassismus geprägt, und es herrscht eine extreme Klassengesellschaft - wohlhabende Kinder dürfen sich alles erlauben, während andere voreingenommen behandelt werden. Zudem ist das Verhalten einiger Lehrer gegenüber Mädchen durch unangemessene Blicke höchst bedenklich. Am Ende war die Belastung so groß, dass mein Kind eine Therapie benötigt hat, um diese Zeit zu verarbeiten.

It's really great to see how happy all the children are plus clearly they enjoy the international nature of the place. The school is brilliant for teaching a broad curriculum and helping German children to speak fluent English (most of them do) On the other side, however, I have been surprised how little new German our children have picked up since they left their Integration class at their last School in Hamburg. We have been offered extra tuition, but at extra cost. It's not so much though and we will more than likely take this up. In terms of location and facilities, obviously a school housed in builders portacabins is not something one would consider to be the perfect setting for a school. However, on reflection, once inside it's very hard to tell since all the classrooms are as would be expected in any school in Germany (or the UK for that matter) The major downside (for us anyway) is that getting there from the middle of Hamburg is a bit of a pain, involving a trip on the metro and then a bus. If deciding to drive then expect the usual school run carnage around drop off and pick up times. We are looking forward very much to the school relocating to its new home in 2012.
