The school has a Student Council (SMV) elected by pupils to represent student interests and enrich school life. The motto 'Building Bridges' guides student dialogue and collaboration with teachers and parents. Each class elects class representatives and runs class council activities to involve students in decision-making. A buddy mentoring system helps new students settle in, supporting social integration. The Harmony program creates a safe and inclusive environment where diversity is embraced, empathy is prioritized, and positive social behavior is fostered.
The school provides a GISA Support Programme in primary classes. It runs a four-hour weekly targeted learning support in German or Math. The sessions are delivered in small groups to meet each child where they are and tailor instruction. The aim is to recognise individual needs and empower growth, creating space for development, achievement, and a genuine love of learning.
The school operates a bilingual profile (German-English) and can enroll students with no prior German knowledge. English is used in instruction, and the Cambridge Curriculum covers English as a core subject and French as a Foreign Language. The bilingual profile is supported by the school's language offerings and structure.
Wellbeing is integrated through Harmony's safe and inclusive environment and emphasis on empathy. A buddy system and class council activities promote positive social interactions and belonging. The protection concept translates wellbeing principles into daily life via class and school rules and the 'feel-good-group.'
The protection concept provides a safeguarding framework that is applied through class and school rules and the 'feel-good-group' to protect pupils.
