We may have changed locations many times over the last 53 years but our school remains as friendly and warm as when it first opened in 1957.
From our first location in Timberlake House located on Hamburg’s picturesque Alster lake to our current state-of-the-art facility located at Hemmingstedter Weg in the beautiful suburb of Gross Flottbek, our school has become an integral part of the community and of Hamburg, fostering and maintaining close ties with both businesses and the community at large.
