Every Wednesday, learning partners in Secondary Years spend the morning on personal development, focusing on Approaches to Learning, career development, Creativa, Learn Atelier periods and coaching sessions. Learners work with a personal coach to explore dreams, passions and talents and set personal goals. Learn Atelier periods provide structured time for independent work in a university-like environment, with coaching to support autonomous learning. The approach integrates social and emotional development with academic progress.
Creativa is part of the Personal Development Programme, supporting creative work during secondary-year activities. Learn Atelier periods provide time for independent, creative work. Coaching helps learners develop their creative talents.
English is the language of instruction. The German language programme serves both native and non-native German speakers. An English as a Second Language programme (ESL) is offered within Primary Years to support non-native English speakers.
