personal & individual

Our pedagogical understanding is based on the common motto of the formatio private school “Strengthening strengths”.

This is why we focus on the development of personality and the promotion of talents. Strengths are best promoted in small classes of around 15 students. All main subjects are also taught at two levels, the Realschule level and the Gymnasium level.

Personality development

We focus on personal education. This means that exploring one’s own personality, getting to know personal strengths and developing individual talents play a central role in our pedagogical understanding. In the subject of personal development, pupils are given the necessary space for this under expert guidance. Here is a brief insight into the subject.

Differentiated, individualized teaching

In our small classes of around 15 pupils, the teachers know exactly what each individual’s strengths are. All main subjects are taught at two levels: Realschule and gymnasium level.

Once a week, there is a focus morning at our school: the timetable is broken up and the pupils work on individual task plans and thus receive targeted support. This involves both the promotion of special talents and help with topics that have not yet been fully understood in class.

Learning to learn

Homework and individual preparations are completed during our study hours. A teacher is on hand with help and advice and gives tips on how best to study.

I think it's great that we can all do our homework during our studies. The teachers are always there for us.

Genius Time

Everybody is a genius! This is exactly what our students can feel and experience. In the networked subject “Genius Time”, students pursue and realize their personal and individual projects. A mentor is on hand with help and advice and ensures that the students achieve the goals they have set themselves.

Personal challenge

In the fourth year of secondary school, our students pursue a personal challenge in which they follow a project of their choice over the course of a semester. In doing so, they learn to carry out a project independently and on their own responsibility and also experience their self-efficacy.

Career guidance
in the third grade

In the third grade, we explore the various apprenticeships with the young people. Participation in the BerufsCHECK week is compulsory for students. We also pay particular attention to differentiated preparation for the upper secondary school at formatio Private School. Pupils with a grammar school recommendation are given the opportunity to spend taster days at the upper secondary school.

Career guidance
in the fourth grade

In the fourth grade, the main focus is on individual career guidance. In weekly one-to-one meetings, the young people are specifically prepared for the immediate next steps. We provide individual support: if a pupil chooses an apprenticeship, we prepare job interviews and practise these in role play; the application documents are also regularly updated with the young people. If the learner decides to attend the upper secondary school, we ensure that the transition is as successful as possible.
