International School Braunschweig - Wolfsburg

We are a rapidly growing International School, founded in 2004, with a multicultural student body. We are a private, all-day school, based in Braunschweig, that offers an enriching education for children aged 4 to 18+ in a friendly, motivational learning environment.

We benefit by being one of five divisions within the CJD Braunschweig, which has been a leading and certified Competency Centre for the empowerment of talented and gifted children since 1977. The IS BS-WOB is proud to be a Cambridge certified school. Our Cambridge certified curriculum and checkpoint tests ensure that students are learning at a high international standard. This system enables pupils to be assessed on a global level and to compare their progress with other children around the world.

We offer 2 degrees that students can work toward; the IGCSE (International General Certifi cate of Secondary Education) and the IB (International Baccalaureate). These programmes allow students to earn diplomas, which they can take with them; to further their education in Germany, or internationally. Our quarterly assessment tests, and report cards keep parents and pupils up-to-date on their progress throughout the school year.

A mission statement is both a vision and reality. Only those with visions can see reality with clear vision and an open heart. Starting with a vision, reality shows an interpretation that leads us to the future. A mission statement shows us the way and acts as a compass in our daily work. It is also a shining star that provides courage and confidence to plan the future. As with every mission statement, its fulfillment is a work in progress. Our daily work, the way we interact with each other, our understanding of education and learning, our professionality, empathy and, last but not least, our readiness to change and grow for the future and the value of this mission statement will become apparent based on those things.

The CJD Braunschweig is a competency center for differentiated talent support and positive education. This reality is experienced new every day. We are committed to building the characters of young people. The CJD Braunschweig - staff, students and parents can only provide what is needed for growing and learning for the future when we work together.

At the CJD Braunschweig, everyday Christianity is our foundation and young people are at the center of our efforts. What we offer falls under the principles of a holistic approach and individuality. The Youth Village (Jugenddorf) offers a place in which these principles come to life in a group setting and make experience with the Christian faith possible.

We see ourselves as a learning organization which also means that we are constantly examining and developing our educational concepts further. We communicate the joy of teaching and learning while supporting individual talents. Our activities serve the purpose of creating optimal group learning environments. We see it as our responsibility to make our vision statement a reality. We treat the children and youths we are responsible for with respect, fairness and appreciation. We cultivate open and respectful contact within the staff and with outsiders.

We support each other in the accomplishment of our tasks. Our decisions are transparent and logical. The preconditions for that are set through goal-oriented and efficient communication. We support a positive error culture because we can learn from our mistakes for the future. We grant that luxury to all people. We recognize the achievements of others. We demand achievements from ourselves and from the children and youths we are responsible for. We use their and our resources responsibly. We encourage students, parents, staff, friends and partners to actively participate in planning our institution and provide the necessary opportunities for that.
