The ALEA SCHOOL is the Home of the Foxes. The foxes Oak and Amber are ALEA’s official school mascots. The choice of the forest dweller as a heraldic animal is obvious in every respect: the fox is considered clever, imaginative, courageous and curious. He thus embodies the learning attitude that should characterize the ALEA students. He also connects the pupils with the surrounding Spessart forest as a figure of identification.
The foxes Oak and Amber were brought to life by renowned Disney illustrator Ken Duncan from California. Duncan created the well-known Disney characters of Jane from Tarzan, Belle from Beauty and the Beast and other characters from Disney classics such as Aladdin, Pocahontas and Hercules – and also worked on the iconic masterpiece The Lion King. This connection also has deep roots: the legendary Spessart region inspired the Brothers Grimm to create fairy tale classics such as Snow White – and ultimately also the fairy tale makers at Disney.
In principle, anyone can apply for a scholarship. The award committee will take various criteria into account when selecting the scholarship holders: First and foremost, the economic eligibility of an applicant family. This is based on the average household income (approx. €70,000) in the Main-Kinzig district and the applicant confirms that they have a lower household income. Voluntary commitment, special achievements or a particularly convincing application are also taken into account.
When applying for a scholarship, applicants must provide basic information, a letter of motivation and a letter of recommendation from a (class) teacher. After submission, the awarding committee will review the application and contact the applicants regarding the next steps.
At the present moment, two scholarship programs have already been confirmed.
Further scholarship programs are currently being developed.
There will be both full and partial scholarships. Depending on the type of scholarship, either all or part of the school fees will be covered by the scholarship. Both scholarship models cover tuition fees up to the 10th grade to the extent indicated.
