The transition to primary school is carefully prepared and supported from preschool onwards. The same applies to the move into the orientation phase of lower secondary school. To help Year 4 students prepare for this next step, Year 5 teachers visit their classes, while Year 4 students have the opportunity to observe lessons in Year 5. In addition, primary school teachers who are also qualified to teach at lower secondary level work in the secondary school, providing familiar points of contact and helping students feel supported as they make the transition.
Our Educational Approach in Primary School
Developing Skills and Confidence in a Supportive Environment
Our Primary School provides a safe and nurturing environment where children’s personal development and enjoyment of learning are at the heart of everything we do. We want every child to discover their strengths, take responsibility for their learning, develop their own approaches to problem-solving and reflect on their progress. Above all, we want children to experience success at school and develop a lifelong love of learning. To achieve these goals, we use a variety of learning approaches tailored to individual needs. Independent and group work, project-based learning, daily and weekly learning plans are complemented by teacher-led lessons. This enables students to develop not only their academic knowledge, but also their social, practical and methodological skills.
A Day in Primary School
Our Primary School operates a full-day programme from 8 am to 3 pm, with lessons spread across the morning and afternoon. A variety of additional activities takes place throughout the day, including practice and study periods, learning and elective workshops, supervised study sessions, individual support and enrichment, as well as sports, music and arts activities. After 3 pm, children can also take part in further co-curricular activities, exploring their interests and developing their talents.
Discovering and Nurturing Every Child’s Potential
Our goal is to support every child holistically, taking their individual abilities and needs into account. Differentiated learning opportunities and targeted support allow children to learn independently at their own pace and develop their individual potential. This approach strengthens not only academic skills, but also self-confidence and the enjoyment of learning.
