Remedial instruction for German-language reading and spelling difficulties is available from the 2nd grade. Remedial support in the main language of instruction German starts early and can be taken from the primary level through Sekundarstufe I up to the 9th grade of Gymnasium. Enrollment requires parental consent in cooperation with the class teacher or the German-language specialist and the school psychologist, based on written samples or testing or external evaluations. Participation is usually once a week; in exceptional cases it can be twice weekly. Remedial plans with concrete, small-step goals are developed using test results and scientifically validated programs or individually created materials. Parental support is essential for long-term progress; if learners and parents do not cooperate, access to this remedial instruction may be restricted as an additional option.

Languages of instruction are Arabic and German. Foreign languages offered include English and French.

They collaborate with parents and teachers and, when needed, with external therapists and experts, and promote social learning and learning support through workshops and projects.
