About Salem
Scholarships at Schule Schloss Salem
Children and adolescents who want to know what they can achieve, who want to expand their horizon and their talents and who want to put their efforts into the service of a multinational community of young people, are invited to apply for a scholarship at Schule Schloss Salem near Lake Constance. It is possible to apply for a partial scholarship throughout the year.
Years 5 & 6 (Junior School)
Students in Years 5 & 6 live in the "Rentamt," in a very special location. Built over 200 years ago by Cistercian monks as a cloister school for 100 boys, this stand-alone building again today combines space for living and learning.
Art project "Self-portrait with face mask
An art course in our upper school has published a "digital" art project as part of the online lessons. All course participants have artistically portrayed themselves wearing a breathing mask. The result was a wide variety of photomontages in the most diverse styles of art.
Seven classes of Schule Schloss Salem successfully participated in the nationwide non-smoking competition BE SMART- DON'T START for school health promotion through tobacco prevention.
Many students submitted work to an art competition on this important issue. Their creations are on exhibition at the Spetzgart dining hall.
