Beyond regular school activities, the non-profit ALEA SCHOOL sees itself as an educational initiative for Bad Orb and the neighboring communities of the Hessian Spessart – students from all schools can participate in the ALEA SCHOOL Summer Camp. Plans for the next Summer Camp are already underway.
The first ALEA SCHOOL Summer Camp was a complete success. Gymnastics, romping around and playing soccer with a coach from world-famous Liverpool FC, acting like Shakespeare with the British Theatre School from London, a trip to the Palmengarten, seeing dinosaurs and dodos at the Senckenberg Natural History Museum, and building an insect hotel in ALEA PARK - all this was part of the ALEA SCHOOL Summer Camp 2025! Students from all schools entering grades 4 to 6 were welcome to join.
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.
