BilinGo Schools - Primary

BilinGO Primary School is a privately owned Ersatzschule located in the Braunsfeld district of Cologne. The school teaches the North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) curriculum using an immersive 50/50 bilingual model, instructing students equally in German and English. Class teachers deliver lessons alongside English native speakers and teaching assistants to ensure daily language exposure. Serving children between the ages of five and ten, classes are capped at 22 students to facilitate focused attention and weekly learning support groups. The daily schedule runs from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., integrating mandatory lunch periods and optional afternoon clubs, such as guitar and piano. A distinct feature of BilinGO Primary is its seamless connection to the broader BilinGO network, sharing a location with the BilinGOlinos Kindergarten and offering a direct pathway to the BilinGO Campus for secondary education. This structure allows students to pursue continuous bilingual instruction from early childhood through to the Abitur.
