GET Global Education

GET Global Education Tumulka GmbH is a family business in Munich, led by its managing partner Bella Tumulka, and it says it has more than 30 years of experience. Euro-Internatsberatung Tumulka, also based in Munich, says that the two firms together form the Global Education Group. GET's team is international and advises in German, Bavarian, English, French, Italian and Spanish.

Language travel is at the centre of what GET does. For school pupils it books summer schools, summer camps, language camps in England and Ireland and sports camps, and its programmes for pupils also include Abitur and Oberstufe preparation courses. Adults can book language travel and educational leave (Bildungsurlaub), with options to prepare for TOEFL, Cambridge or IELTS exams. School leavers can choose between gap years built around language courses, volunteering and internships, and academic gap years that prepare for university, taken on a US university campus or at a British sixth-form college.

The school consulting team helps families choose boarding schools and international schools abroad, for anything from three months to a full qualification, with destinations including England, the USA, Canada, Switzerland, Spain and Dubai. It also advises on international and bilingual schools in Germany and Austria, on subject choice and on how qualifications such as the IB, A Levels and the American High School Diploma are recognised. From the fifth grade of German school (around age 10), pupils can try boarding life on a Boarding School Taster of three weeks or more, a format GET says it developed with selected schools. Its Expat Consultancy helps families moving to Germany, and German families moving elsewhere in Europe, to find a school.
