Over 25 years ago, my wife and I decided to provide parents and pupils with a private day school.
The primary aim of this educational institution was to free children and parents from the stress of school as much as possible. A further aim was to ensure that the children entrusted to the school received personal care in order to promote their personal interests and abilities in the best possible way. The promotion of linguistic expression, including in foreign languages, which is the basis of human culture and integration, was and is a further goal of the formatio private school, to which the school is committed. These efforts have also been recognized internationally. Running the school as a day school should also meet the needs of parents, especially when both parents can only devote limited time to their children for professional reasons.
We are pleased to note that the teachers at formatio Private School, under the leadership of the management team, are able to successfully fulfill our goals for the students.
