Lessons

Curiosity is natural. Learning is a matter of practice. Our lessons aim to make learning a joyful and pleasurable experience. Lessons start at 8:15 am and end at 2:05 pm.

A delicious class lunch, in the company of the teacher and the youth and community worker, and playtime are included every day.

Each class is led by the permanent team of class teacher and youth and community worker.

Learning according to the cybernetic method is based on the connection that exists between the mind and the senses: eyes, mouth, hand and more. Arithmetic, reading and writing can be learned much more effectively this way. We teach German and mathematics according to this method from the 1st grade onwards.

We know from experience that the most effective way of teaching young children English is not through vocabulary lists and grammar books. Language must be experienced – through touching, listening, moving, singing, retelling, and playing. Starting in the 1st grade, our students pick up English as they would a native language, and in a fun and natural way. Soon they start speaking in complete sentences; by the 3rd grade, they learn to write as well. The Helen Doron method of English teaching supports us in this process.

There is a lot of activity during lessons – and not only mental activity. Coordination games, gymnastics, reaction and posture training are all part of the daily routine. And during the long class break of 40 minutes, there is time for skipping games, hockey and other ball games, with the youth and community worker. An hour of sports in the school grounds or in the large gym is also part of each day.

What’s for lunch today? Lunch together is a highlight of the day – for students and teachers alike. Meals are freshly prepared every day. Once they are seated and settled, the younger children are read a short story while they eat.

Menu

80 minutes of outdoor games, or indoors in the gym if it rains. We play games such as cops and robbers, and build huts, tree houses or igloos. The youth and community worker leads the playtime.
