Hort Care Coordinator (f/m/d) (English / German speaking)

As a state-accredited private school sponsored by the Würth Foundation, Freie Schule Anne-Sophie in Berlin, Germany offers a continuous educational path from elementary school to the German Abitur. Classes are held all day and are bilingual in German and English right from the start. At Freie Schule Anne-Sophie Berlin, English speaking and German speaking teachers and educators work together to create a bilingual culture in the school. Our international learning community includes German families as well as many international families who have chosen Berlin as their new home.

In addition to bilingualism, the pedagogical concept is characterized by goal-oriented learning in a designed environment and the introduction to independent learning with new media. In each learning group, teaching, learning, and social development become a collaborative process. Personal support of the students through coaching sessions is an essential element of the learning culture. The goal is that every child leaves the Freie Schule Anne-Sophie Berlin as a winner. A winner in this context is someone who knows their strengths, learns to work with their weaknesses, accepts challenges, and takes responsibility for themselves and others.
