alea out loud (Design)
AOL (ALEA OUT LOUD) is the school profile subject behind the IB subject Design, which enables our students to “get loud” in the truest sense of the word. At a time when artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly taking over routine tasks such as writing texts, human skills, soft skills and communication skills are more crucial than ever. AOL is the perfect subject for the spirit of the times, as it trains students in the conscious use of voice, body language and posture to represent the school in projects and present them effectively. The children go through a design process to develop innovative solutions (from school clothing to videos to sustainability inventions) and become active designers whose core skill – human persuasion – will be indispensable in the future.
Class lesson/Assembly
Promotes community spirit, identification with the school and participation in school life. Monthly school assemblies offer space for exchange, presentations, creative contributions and shared impulses for school life.
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL
LEARNING (SEL)
Combines personality development with emotional intelligence. In this grade-free subject, students reflect on their social skills, learn to resolve conflicts and develop personal responsibility. Results are documented in a personal portfolio.
Elective lessons (EL)
From grade 9 onwards, students set their own individual priorities – for example, by choosing a third foreign language (French or Chinese) or other electives such as robotics.
ALEA OUT LOUD (Design)
An innovative subject that combines digital education, media literacy and education for sustainable development (ESD).

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.
