Hear from the Kuttler Family:

"We are an American family and we started our journey at the International School of Berne in Fall 2021. From the start, our daughter, who is currently in ELC 1, was excited to go to school and see her teachers, classmates, and friends. Each day, she comes home and tells us about her day, what she learned, and any special activities they did. Hearing her excitement has made us realize we made the right decision in sending her to ISBerne.  

As parents, we have already seen tremendous growth in our daughter - particularly, her sensory and motor skills, alphabet and letter sounds, and expressing her feelings. Her teachers have also done a fantastic job teaching her class about different nationalities focusing on each child's place of origin, which we feel this is important!  

Overall, we are very happy with our daughter attending ISBerne and are so delighted with the path she is on with her learning. Thank you ISBerne!"
