ALEA SCHOOL is the home of the foxes. Amber and Oak, the clever foxes, are the official mascots of ALEA SCHOOL. The choice of this forest dweller as a heraldic animal is obvious in every respect: the fox is considered clever, imaginative, courageous and curious. It thus embodies the learning attitude that ALEA students should strive to achieve. In addition, as a figure with whom the students can identify, it connects them to the surrounding Spessart Forest.
The ALEA clever foxes are brought to life using multimedia: the clever foxes Amber and Oak were created and animated by the 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 Forest inspired the Brothers Grimm to write classic fairy tales 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.
