Lessons

Development means change. Students may experience this especially intensely. The goal of our lessons is to help them to feel orientated and secure. The teaching of learning techniques and common training routines are an integral part of this. We do not, however, believe in surprise tests or trick questions. Successful learning requires, above all, good interaction with one another. Our house rules and school dress code provide a framework in which learning is fun.

For grades 5-10, lessons begin at 8:15 am and end at 2:05 pm. A delicious lunch is always part of the morning program.

A team of two classroom teachers guide each student throughout the school year.

No one likes to jump in at the deep end. We prefer to take our time at the start of secondary school, providing additional revision lessons in mathematics, English, and Latin. This also includes studying vocabulary together.

In grades 5 and 6, a 40-minute daily sports session keeps students focused. And during the big break, there is time for outdoor games, together with the youth and community worker.

14 subjects in 5 days – that’s a tall order, but it can be done if some subjects are taught in bundles. Every Thursday the morning is reserved for 1-2 subjects: Time to experiment, explore or debate.

Learning thrives on routine. Every week we concentrate on mathematics, English and German in additional hours devoted to these subjects.

To keep the mind free for these subjects, there is no oral or written homework in the minor subjects, except for exam preparation.

Gaining confidence through exercises, experiments and joint study sessions characterizes the mornings and afternoons in the final three years leading up to the Abitur. Success depends on thorough preparation – both for the Abitur and the time that follows. Equally important is a relaxed lunch shared with teachers and classmates. The class community remains intact for most subjects, as learning together is simply more effective.

The intensive preparation for the Abitur begins in the 12th grade. The focus is on training what’s particularly relevant for the Abitur: in Mathematics, English, and German. Students can discuss individual questions personally with their subject teacher. They gain confidence through routine. And we support them in discovering: There’s more potential in them than they might have suspected themselves.

Eating lunch together is a highlight of the day – for students and teachers alike. Meals are freshly prepared every day. The class eats together with the two class teachers. Younger students are read a short story while they eat.
