Teaching in small classes of 3-8 pupils
This information sheet is a supplement to the detailed prospectus about boarding accomodation which gives extensive information about our boarding house.
Over the
last 20 years we have developed a summer school programme in the following subjects:
German, English, Latin, French, and Maths. The aim of the course is to improve
the pupils knowledge and increase motivation. In small groups of 3-8 pupils
students take 3 hours of lessons and, 3 hours of supervised learning and exercise
time make it possible to fill in gaps and to create a solid platform in their
chosen subject.
The combination of intensive work and an active leisure programme ensures that
the participants still feel that they are on holiday despite their decision
to do something for school. The morning is dominated by school work, the afternoons
by sport games and fun. Sports activities in the open air or in our own sports
hall, games, excursions and entertainment with qualified supervision all ensure
that leisure time develops into a real enjoyable holiday experience.
For pupils
who want to fill in gaps in a particular subject.
For pupils who want to prepare themselves intensvely for their Abitur/A Levels
or their Realschulabschlußprüfung/GCSEs.
For foreign pupils who want to learn German in Germany.

It is also possible to organise teaching in other subjects as well as individual tuition if required. It is often possible to take extra lessons in another subject apart from the one which has been chosen in advance. We are happy to discuss the above arrangements with you and the extra costs.
