Hermann Oberth International German School

The school emphasizes lifelong learning and the development of skills to adapt to a changing society. Smaller class groups allow personalized attention and a flexible approach to learning. The curriculum integrates interculturality, entrepreneurship education and democratic citizenship across all levels. Students participate in cross-disciplinary projects that tackle social responsibility and develop collaboration and critical thinking.

The school connects culture and the arts through visual arts (graphics, modeling, painting, photography) and through music and choir. Optional courses in modeling, piano and other arts cultivate artistic interests and performance skills. Cultural experiences include guided tours of archaeological sites, museums and art activities, and the school choir enhances students' creative skills. Artwork by students has been exhibited internationally, including at the Children's Museum in Stockholm.

German, Romanian and English are central to the language program, with strong multilingual exposure. The language policy provides maximum exposure to German and Romanian early on, with progressive exposure to English and Cambridge tests beginning in the third grade. In middle and high school, students study German, Romanian and English with DSD and Cambridge examinations, and ab initio courses in French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, and other languages are offered.

Leisure time activities include mountain expeditions, themed trips, ski camps and overnight outings with classmates and teachers. These experiences help students discover places, build friendships and develop personal growth. Sports are a core part of life, with two gyms, a tennis court, a basketball court and a running track to support teamwork, discipline and healthy competition. Students also engage in a range of athletic pursuits, including swimming, tennis and football.

The school emphasizes social responsibility through projects that encourage empathy for peers. It promotes environmental sustainability with actions that involve the whole school community in reducing energy and water use and waste, and in adopting sustainable practices.

The learning approach aims to enable each child to progress, develop skills, and pursue their passions, with ownership of their learning. Smaller class groups and personalized guidance help students flourish and tailor their path. The program guides students toward becoming confident, creative adults ready to contribute to society, with opportunities in robotics, advanced mathematics, visual arts, informatics, creative writing in German and Romanian, debate in multiple languages, theatre in English, music and sport. Cross-disciplinary collaboration and exposure to ab initio language courses on the new campus further support this development. The regular presence of guidance counselors supports students in choosing educational directions and career paths.

Sports emphasize teamwork, perseverance, fair play and health, with a strong push for regular physical activity. The campus facilities include two gyms with changing rooms, a tennis court, a basketball court and a running track to support athletic development. The school promotes a healthy lifestyle and encourages students to spend their free time in sport and physical activity.
