Education: Being a good school means guiding young people to their personal success.

At our school we adhere to Pestalozzi`s fundamental thesis that fostering the personal development of pupils is more important than preparing them for a job.

“First you are a child, then a human being and later an apprentice”

We emphasize the right balance between leading and letting grow. As such each child is guided and supported individually.

Based on these leading criteria, we do not only pursue the academic, but also the physical and social growth of the young people entrusted to us. Therefore, we value creative and artistic capabilities, mental training, sport and manual skills as much as cognitive knowledge. In so doing, we respect the natural development pattern of each child.

We strive to foster strong and well-balanced personalities, emotional intelligence and humanity through mutual respect, esteem and self-confidence.

Education, the capability to clearly express one’s own thoughts and the knowledge of History and Science are essential elements in our curricula. At the same time, we support a variety of physical, creative and educational activities. Further, we place an emphasis on mastering foreign language acquisition and developing an understanding of the political sciences to raise awareness about the world around us and enable pupils to confidently move forward into their personal and working future with full assurance.

Socialization: Being a good school means developing a fruitful partnership with external institutions and companies allowing our pupils to become a valid part of society.

Various internships provide the right framework for shaping young people's lives.

 

Principles of teaching: being a good school means using diverse and innovative methods.

The Rhineland Palatinate’s syllabus is the frame of our teaching contents. Our dedicated and experienced teachers monitor the process of teaching and learning ensuring the success of your child.

Our teaching is based on traditional as well as innovative academic models. Lessons are planned in close connection with current and future trends in all content areas. We strive to maintain a clear and easily understandable structure while implementing the use of media and information technology. Lessons do not follow a rigid scheme but are rather flexible and adjustable to fit the needs of the pupils – including, if necessary, on an individual basis.

The knowledge levels of our pupils, their abilities and their difficulties are continuously monitored through tests and exams.

The teacher does not only pass on knowledge but supports his/her pupils individually in the balanced development process of their social and practical abilities.

In order to maintain our high level of teaching standards, regular meetings take place where teachers can provide mutual feedback. By the same token, we encourage our staff to take part in professional development trainings, some of which are offered in our school.
