A beautiful and well-located school with inspiring teachers and friendly students. Especially good is the programme of afternoon and weekend activities organised by the school, which covers not just all the obvious museums and neighbouring cities but also such places as Zossen, which astonishingly few Berliners seemed to have heard of. I arrived with perfunctory German, and left after four months at the lower end of C1.

All in all, highly recommended, though bear in mind that the accommodation offered by the school is extremely expensive by Berlin standards. It's also quite easy to find sublets and flatshares once you've arrived.
