Salem International College

Whether in the classroom or in the boarding school — in the final two years of schooling, we expect a high level of independence from our students. Both the Abitur and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB) are organized as course systems with individualized schedules and self-reliant learning:

• Self-guided, after-school studying is supported by mentors and subject teachers
• Supplemental, theme-related educational activities, such as study trips, excursions, extracurricular clubs (Model United Nations, political clubs, etc.)
• Enhanced by library-based multimedia study spaces
• Civic education through guest lectures, evening programs and student self-governance (student parliament, academic council, study groups, Spetzgart Forum, The Spetzgart Supper Talk)
• Career Counselling Office with teacher-counsellors who are experts on admission to German and foreign universities
• A final “Salem Report” thoroughly documenting a student's involvement in services and athletics, in political activities and creative pursuits, in elected offices and as a member of the student self-governance
