Learning facilities
The learning campus facilitates all aspects of learning and offers successful and differentiated learning solutions.
It is available to students at the same time and in the same place every afternoon. This maximises the degree of individualised learning, which is constantly supervised, coordinated and evaluated.
In addition to areas for group work, there are two quiet work rooms, five small group rooms, a computer room and four specialist subject rooms in which three to four teachers are always available to provide assistance to students.
Structured learning
Students attend up to four study blocks in the afternoon at learning campus. During these they complete homework, learn together in groups or individually in separate rooms, talk to subject teachers or prepare for tests.
With the assistance of their tutors, students produce a study plan, which is always drawn up in advance for a period of 14 days.
This supports individualised learning and includes not only the student’s timetable but also his/her leisure time activities and any barriers to learning.

We provide with individual support in German as a foreign language. Our specialist teachers of German as a foreign language will not only help to improve language skills, they will also support with German as a school subject, e.g. with required reading or in preparing for class tests.
