Now Enrolling New Students!
The International School of Berne (ISBerne) offers an early childhood programme for ages 3 - 5 in our Early Learning Centre (ELC). Since 1961, we have fostered a love of learning and a sense of self in every child. Our commitment to the International Baccalaureate® Primary Years Programme (PYP) curriculum means that our teaching is balanced, concept-based, and planned around our students.
