Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Progressive Education with a holistic, student-centered approach. The program emphasizes Project-Based Learning and Social-Emotional Learning, with interdisciplinary courses that foster self-advocacy and self-determination. Learning is framed as developing skills rather than simply acquiring information, empowering students to unfold their talents as compassionate human beings. The environment supports risk-taking in learning and is a safe, inclusive community that celebrates each student's unique personality.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

An international, diverse and inclusive community.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

All of our students learn English and German in parallel, with support for native and non-native speakers.

Mental Wellbeing

The school creates a learning environment where students feel safe and cared for; learning is approached as a courageous, exploratory process. It emphasizes that thinking and growth occur beyond comfort zones and fosters a culture where challenges are invitations to explore, learn, and grow in trust.
