What does "bilingual" mean?
Being bilingual means using two languages with fluency. At KIBS, this is reflected in our 50/50 approach: half of the instructional time is in English, and half in German.
Why early bilingualism matters
Learning two languages from a young age strengthens the brain and makes it work more efficiently.
The Science Behind Bilingualism
Research shows that bilingual children develop stronger connections between different brain regions. The earlier a second language is learned, the more efficiently the brain is organised—supporting memory, problem-solving, and overall cognitive performance.
Bilingualism for Every Learner
Recent studies even suggest that bilingualism can enhance certain executive function skills in children with ASD, highlighting its benefits for diverse learners.
Our Story
KIBS was born from a mother’s vision in 2008. Unable to find a day school where her daughter could grow up truly bilingual in German and English, she set out to create the learning environment she dreamed of.
She also wanted a place where her daughter could enjoy a full and enriching day, with extracurricular activities offered conveniently in the same environment. This idea continues at KIBS today, where we enhance learning through a thoughtful range of extracurricular experiences.

Guided by extensive research into the benefits of bilingual education, she developed her own curriculum—and founded Kid’s Island: a daycare and kindergarten designed to give children the gift of bilingual learning from the very start.
By 2013, the growing success of Kid’s Island made the next step clear: it was time to expand. Kid’s Island Bilingual School (KIBS) was officially established as a primary school.
Since then, we have grown sustainably and with intention, always prioritising the authentic, family-like atmosphere that shaped our beginnings. Today, KIBS continues to blend the warmth of a close-knit community with the quality and ambition of a modern bilingual school.
