individual & personal
In elementary school, we emphasize good academic performance by focusing on strengthening learners in their abilities and skills.
Social-emotional learning is also of central importance. Our pupils learn and play together in mixed-age groups. This also promotes social skills in various situations.
The focus is on social learning
We promote social learning through activities such as exciting class discussions, weekly Monday assemblies, targeted relaxation techniques such as Jacobsen, meditation and yoga, or through role-playing games with a focus on SEL (Social Emotional Learning). Here, students switch to the perspective of others, practise empathy and can positively perceive the diversity of others. It is very important for our students to strengthen their self-esteem and develop a realistic self-perception.
Appreciation as a basic pedagogical principle
Thanks to the benevolent attitude of the teachers towards our students, they can learn in an anxiety-free environment and have an active say in how they learn. In mixed-age small groups, a teacher has more time to respond to each individual child. At the same time, learners can benefit from each other and learn together. They learn to work together as a team and resolve conflicts. All of this contributes to an appreciative atmosphere in which our pupils experience respectful and understanding interaction with one another.
The small class size allows for individual attention. I also appreciate the cross-class teamwork, great projects, lunchtime supervision at school and the use of modern IT and English from day one. The all-day care makes my everyday working life easier. The best thing is that my son really enjoys going to school.
Project afternoons
Each project afternoon is dedicated to one focus: Design, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), Genius Hour, NMG (nature, people, society), movement and sport. In the interdisciplinary project lesson settings, pupils can develop individually and achieve their personal goals. This unique environment promotes the realization of each individual’s potential. The small class sizes ensure a high level of individual attention and differentiation. The teachers support the students as mentors.
Growth Portfolio
After certain stages of a learning process, our learners reflect on their learning in a digital portfolio. This makes them aware of their learning progress. At the same time, this encourages learners to reflect on their feelings, recognize their strengths and formulate their needs. In this way, we help them to develop and consolidate their “growth mindset” (dynamic self-image). We see mistakes as an opportunity to try out something new and develop further.
