Lessons

Growing up means change, and students often experience it particularly intensely. Our lessons aim to give them guidance and a sense of security. Learning techniques and shared practice routines are an integral part of this. We do not use surprise tests or put students on the spot with unexpected oral questioning.

Every day includes breaks with time to play and a freshly cooked lunch.

A team of two class teachers supports each class 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. In German, mathematics and English, the priority is to build confidence in the fundamentals. Brief explanations are followed by plenty of opportunities to practise. In some lessons, a teacher and an educational support worker work together as a team.

Generous amounts of time for sport and movement help students concentrate throughout the morning.

Fourteen subjects in five days is a lot, but it becomes manageable when some subjects are taught in double periods. Short explanations alternate with longer periods of practice. Working with their teacher, students practise the skills essential to independent and critical thinking: making sense of new material, making connections, giving reasons and evaluating.

Practice, experiments and shared study sessions build confidence. These shape the school day in the final years before the Abitur. Success depends on good preparation, both for the Abitur and for life beyond school.

Students remain in their class groups for most subjects: learning together often makes things easier. At the same time, they take increasing responsibility for their own progress.

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.
