Individual and interest-oriented
At element-i, we encourage our students to pursue their personal interests and bring them into the classroom, giving them as much freedom as possible and setting the boundaries they need for optimal development.
In mixed-age, grade-spanning learning groups, each student can productively realise their potential at their own pace. At that, it is important to us that the individual strengths of the students benefit the community by learning with and from each other. Our students actively manage their personal learning process with the help of learning conferences, weekly plan discussions and learning world maps. Our teachers accompany them and give specific impulses, support and feedback on their performance.
The MINT focus at the community school takes a look at future subjects like programming, the Internet and artificial intelligence. In the arts subjects, we encourage students to examine art and culture. What is more, students benefit from our bilingual concept. Teaching materials are adapted to the respective level of knowledge especially for children and adolescents from other countries (e.g. children of expats) as well as the highly gifted.
The success proves us right: Every subject is offered at grammar school level and over 60 per cent of our students achieve this level.
Learning today what is important tomorrow
The advancing digitisation changes our society and poses completely new challenges for adolescents. They must learn to be self-reliant and – more than ever – they need skills like creativity, technical understanding, a tolerance for change and resilience for their future working world. Because: Many will one day work in professions that do not exist yet. We are therefore expanding our educational concept to include profile and special services, which are a meaningful addition to “Learning today what is important tomorrow”.
