EKOLA is a close-knit high school where every student is noticed. We build relationships based on respect, dialogue and mutual trust. Teachers know their students, support their development and are real guides in the educational process—not only in preparing for exams.
English is a strength at EKOLA. In Classes 1 and 2, we offer an extended English program and bilingual instruction in philosophy, ethics, biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and informatics. In the IB Diploma Programme (Classes 3 and 4), all subjects are taught in English. English appears as a first language or as a foreign language at an advanced level, enabling high proficiency, and access to literature, theatre, and film in original English, and a deeper understanding of Anglophone cultures. We also offer German and Spanish, and since 2008 the IB exam averages in English, German and Spanish have remained high.
The school provides pastoral support through a school counselor. The counselor identifies developmental difficulties and strengths, supports social skills, effective communication, expressing needs, and coping with stress. The counselor collaborates with homeroom teachers to support class cohesion, integration, conflict resolution, and harmonious student–teacher relationships, and also assists parents and teachers in fulfilling their roles.
Safeguarding and student wellbeing are supported through the school counselor's work, which focuses on safety, integration, conflict resolution, and healthy student–teacher relations, with ongoing collaboration with parents and teachers.
