Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Preschool provides a safe and enriching environment that children perceive as their second home, where they can explore, learn and grow in a playful setting. Primary education fosters intellectual and emotional growth. Our educational vision aims to forge well‑rounded individuals who face life's challenges with creativity, compassion and determination, with music underpinning this purpose to ensure holistic learning.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

English and German language development begins in primary. English is used to teach core subjects such as science, social studies and English itself, with a high proportion of native‑speaking teachers providing deep language immersion from the start. German is taught as a second language since 2004 in collaboration with the Zentralstelle für das Auslandsschulwesen (ZfA). This approach also enables mathematics to be taught using German methodologies.
