It’s September and that means one thing: back to school! And we’ve got a 13-page special all about learning in Berlin for just that purpose. Inside: Trans kids learning to navigate middle school, German preppers learning to survive the end, the best classes to learn to become a writer, and where in Berlin your brat can learn in more than just German: from free state schools to Mitte and P’Berg creatives to exclusive privates out in the sticks. And, can you learn to be German? The country’s integration courses don’t seem to be helping all that much. Also: don’t forget this month in What’s On! With everything from Chilly Gonzales on his new documentary to Sophie Hunger on her new album to Berlin Art Week, Month of Contemporary Music and the usual in film, music, stage and art, we’ve got your month covered.
