Bilingual Italian German School

[Akilles 3]

Thank you so much for the explanation...it´s an hard decision! But i think is more easier to start with a public and in case to move to a private one instead of the opposite...

I have a son 3 years old, I am Italian and my wife German, my son speaks currently both languages, I am really interested on knowing if the bilingual school Leonardo Da Vinci is good and I want to know about the experience of parents that have already sent their kids to this school. Especially I am interested to know if a kid attending such school would have then in the future disadvantages compared to other kids attending "normal" schools.

Hi. Sorry I do not regularly check on to town. I have a kid in 8th grade and has been attending the school since 1st grade. Extremely happy to go to school and normally counting the days to the end of the summer holidays (I consider this a very good sign). In terms of tuition the program is the same as the Bavarian school so no much of difference in the curricula. However the school is not "annerkant" so for tbr switch to state school, a test is required. I know few people that did it (mostly changed after 4th grade) and their kids made it to gymnasium no problem. For more parent reference, you can read comments/ask one of the Italian parents grroup.
