NURTURING THE FUTURE OF BBIS
Founded in 2021, the BBIS Foundation stands as a testament to the enduring commitment of its founders, the former shareholders of BBIS Berlin Brandenburg International School GmbH. As the current guardian and sole shareholder, the foundation is devoted to preserving BBIS as a premier, inclusive, and international educational pillar for countless future generations.
The BBIS Foundation is built upon a non‒profit structure.

Our efforts ensure that BBIS continues to grow and thrive as a nurturing ground for young minds and spirits.
