World Class

The programme comprises 34 lessons per week and combines intensive German tuition with subject integration: 

• German as a Foreign Language (DaF) 
  Intensive teaching alongside language-sensitive learning provision
• Subject Teaching 
  Gradual integration into subjects such as Mathematics, English and Biology
• Shared Activities 
  Sport, choir, school events and boarding-house life 

This creates a learning environment in which language is not only taught but lived every day. 

Every educational journey is different. That is why individual development is at the heart of the programme: 

• Entry possible from language level A1 
• A basic knowledge of English should already be in place 
• Target: B1 level as a foundation for mainstream schooling 
• Potential assessment to evaluate suitability for Gymnasium  
• Flexible placement into Years 5, 6 or 7 

We do not focus solely on previous academic performance, but on each student’s evident potential. 

Students live at the boarding school and, wherever appropriate, take part in the full life of the school and community. 

This means: 

• Continuous language practice in everyday life
• Social integration
• Personal development within a supportive and protected environment 

After one year, students move into mainstream classes. 

They bring with them: 

• The language skills required
• Academic readiness for the next stage 
• Confidence in everyday school life 
• And the experience of being part of the community
