The state-approved comprehensive school with upper secondary level, part of the element-i Bildungshaus Karlsruhe, is open from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm and has only 27 closing days per year. On the 6,850 m² site, a total of 670 children and young people are cared for and/or taught. They have access, among other things, to a large school playground and a cafeteria. Through cooperation with SSC Karlsruhe, pupils can also make use of a diverse sports complex in the immediate vicinity.

Individual and interest-based – the element-i pedagogy at the element-i School

At the element-i School, we encourage our pupils to pursue their personal interests and to integrate them into their learning. We give them as much freedom as possible while setting the necessary boundaries they need for optimal development. In mixed-age, cross-year learning groups, every pupil can realise their potential productively at their own pace.

The STEM focus addresses future-oriented topics such as programming, the internet, and artificial intelligence. In the creative subjects, we promote engagement with art and culture. In addition, pupils benefit from our bilingual concept. Our educational approach is further enriched by specialised and elective subjects, which allow us to support and develop pupils’ diverse strengths and abilities in a targeted way. Specialised subjects include Science and Technology, Sports, and Art. Elective subjects offered include French (from Year 6), Technology, and Everyday Culture, Nutrition, and Social Studies.
