In the afternoon, our students have the opportunity to participate in one of our optional CLUBS. About four weeks after the start of the school year – after a joint taster week – the children choose one or more of their favorite clubs for a half-year.
The CLUBS are not graded. They provide space to pursue your own hobbies and talents together with friends, making ALEA SCHOOL a real place to live – not just a place to learn. Our range of clubs is constantly growing and we are happy to take on board the ideas and wishes of our students.
We believe that the future of the earth lies in the hands of those who have the courage not only to talk about it, but also to take action. If you are passionate about sustainability, climate change, and social justice, and want to make a difference, then you've come to the right place.
Our club is more than just a place for heated debates. We are a community that learns how to argue persuasively, listen, and view the world from different perspectives. But we don't just stop at words. We put our ideas into practice.
One highlight is our sustainability project: the Climate Kiosk. Here we sell consumables - such as exercise books, pens and paper - and donate the proceeds to charitable projects that promote environmental protection. In this way, we actively support environmental projects and promote sustainable awareness in our school at the same time.
Another core element of our club is the Model United Nations (MUN). Here, you take on the role of a diplomat and negotiate global challenges, from human rights to environmental policy. You will learn how international politics really works and how to have a strong voice in a global context.

Both beginners and children with some experience of riding and horses can take part in this club. The aim of the riding club is to teach students not only how to ride, but also how to treat horses as living creatures correctly and thus build up a respectful and loving partnership. We offer individual and personal care for each child and varied lessons.
The riding club is based on the riding badges of the Icelandic Horse Association IPZV. The two-hour sessions include riding units, practical horse care and theory lessons.

The music club is all about making music together and having fun. No matter what instrument a child plays or whether a clever fox prefers to sing - everyone is welcome in the music club! Together in the club, we find out what talents we have and then find the right project. Maybe we'll form a band, maybe we'll work on a piece of music with vocals and percussion. Anything is possible!
It is important to us that you not only make music in a group, but also receive individual support. We take a look at what you can already do and help you to develop further.

If you enjoy being outdoors and are interested in nature, the ALEA Botany Club is the perfect place for you. We spend a lot of time outdoors getting to know the world of plants and animals in our immediate surroundings. We do crafts and work on projects such as birdhouses, helping animals get through the winter.
We also take care of our school garden, where we plant beds in the spring and grow our own vegetables. In the Botany Club, we teach practical plant knowledge - and the great feeling of watching plants grow and flourish.

Computers, codes and lots of creativity - that's what you get at the IT Club! Here, ALEA students become internet experts and discover what's behind a barcode, program with Calliope, learn what blinking has to do with Morse code, and take a look at the world of artificial intelligence. Trying things out together and discovering new things: making technology fun!

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.
