Personalised learning

Differentiation as our pedagogical principle

Our focus is on individual support and challenge: we identify each child’s strengths and areas for development and offer tailored support and targeted challenges – so that learning is enjoyable and every child can reach their full potential.

support classes

Our support lessons are specifically tailored to the pupils’ needs and are offered in the core subjects of German (including support for those with dyslexia), English, Maths and Spanish.
Lessons take place in the morning during the first period (7.30–8.15 am), as concentration is at its highest at this time.

Following a thorough initial assessment – around two weeks before the autumn half-term – the teachers hold a teaching staff meeting to discuss which children should receive what kind of support or targeted enrichment (e.g. talent development).
Participation is communicated to families in a transparent manner.

Support lessons are delivered by the relevant subject teachers and are based on the content of regular lessons.
The focus is on repetition, practice and personalised adaptation.

The afternoon sessions are deliberately free of compulsory support lessons so that the children have time for their hobbies, clubs and interests.
This means that the focus in the afternoon remains on self-directed learning and personal development.

Individual Studies (IS)

In the 8th & 9th period in the afternoon, we offer our optional ‘Individual Studies’ programme.
Unlike traditional homework support, the focus here is not on providing subject-specific answers, but on independent learning.
Teachers or teaching assistants act as learning coaches for the children, helping them with their homework, preparing for tests, planning projects and setting priorities.
The aim is to strengthen pupils’ self-organisation and personal responsibility in the long term.
If required, this programme can also be used during the 9th and 10th periods, alongside the clubs.

Power House

The Power Hour is our enrichment programme for children whose potential can be further developed.

Here, we aim to support the children in pursuing their interests in a targeted way and going the ‘extra mile’ at school. This optional activity takes place during the 0th period (7.30–8.15 am)

Scholarship framework conditions

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.

  1. The Norbert Strauss partial scholarship
    5x per year
    Covers €400 of the school fees
  2. The Bad Orb full scholarship
    2x per year
    Covers the entire school fees

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.
