BCS Achieves Best Abitur Average in Berlin – Five Perfect 1.0 Scores!
What an incredible achievement! This year, Berlin Cosmopolitan School earned the best Abitur average of all schools in Berlin: 1.5. Even more remarkable: five of our graduates scored the perfect 1.0, and we are especially proud of Julina, who reached an outstanding 893 out of 900 points – the best result ever at BCS, and without a doubt, one of the very best in all of Berlin.
This success reflects our school’s core belief: education is about more than grades. At BCS, we focus on developing the whole person – building essential 21st-century skills like resilience, empathy, innovation, and intercultural competence.
Our holistic learning model blends nature and technology, sports and arts, academic excellence and personal development. Most of our graduates have been part of the BCS community since Grade 1 or even Kindergarten – growing up in a school environment shaped by Empathy, Equity, and Excellence.
We are incredibly proud of our Class of 2025 – and deeply grateful to our dedicated faculty, supportive families, and everyone who helped make this success possible.

About the Berlin Cosmopolitan School, Preschool and Kindergarten
The Berlin Cosmopolitan School is changing the traditional way schools and kindergartens work with different approaches to learning in the areas of nature and environmental protection, sports, new work, culture, dance, music and art and much more. The aim of the independent school, preschool and kindergarten is to bring all students along according to their abilities.
“When school motivates, everyone learns more” is the conviction of the Berlin Cosmopolitan School. Regular outdoor learning, sports activities and competitions, digital projects such as robotics, internships from grade 6, music-making from kindergarten age, dance clubs, bilingual education and much more help the children to discover and develop their own preferences and abilities.
Important concerns of the Berlin Cosmopolitan School, Kindergarten and Preschool are social justice, equal opportunities in education and a balanced community. The school regularly awards scholarships to students and accepts refugees. Through its established network and internationally trained staff, the educational institution has the opportunity to explore new educational paths for every age group.
The Berlin Cosmopolitan School was founded in 2003 as a non-profit organisation by Yvonne Wende. In 2004, the first bilingual (English-German) kindergarten and preschool opened for Berlin-Mitte with 18 children. Shortly after, the primary school started and most recently, in 2009, the accredited bilingual Gymnasium of Berlin Cosmopolitan School 01P22. Since then, the number of students has steadily increased. Approximately 1,000 students from all over the world are now being taught on the Rückerstraße and Invalidenstraße campuses. The kindergarten has grown to a number of more than 300 children between the ages of 1 and 6.
In 2013, Berlin Cosmopolitan School was accredited as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, first for primary school and also for the Gymnasium. The IB Learner Profile is about developing children and young people into lifelong learners. The school and kindergarten use primary experiences to design lessons.
