Our offer

We don't learn for school, we learn for life!

When pupils run into school laughing, when parents carefree hand their charges over to our care - then there is much more behind it than just modernly equipped classrooms and home-cooked lunch.

Dedicated educators, green outdoor classrooms, holistic education, excellent career and study preparation, digital infrastructure, digital curricula and all-day opportunities without end, contribute every day to students feeling in the best of hands at our institutions. With us, the joy of learning and the spirit of research thrive through shared experience and experimentation.

We place special emphasis on bilingual education with native speakers from over 30 nations. This makes it possible for our students to obtain internationally recognized foreign language certificates and to participate in language excursions abroad.

The intensive cooperation between parents and pupils, education providers and school management, partners, entrepreneurs, local authorities and sponsors enables school education at the highest level. The many awards, certifications and seals of quality are impressive proof of this.

The future in view

In accordance with the Saxon education and curriculum, supported by international guidelines and scientific findings, our pupils are made fit for life and global competition. They are helped in this by new forms of learning, performance comparisons between the schools in our network and other Saxon schools, creative competitions and extensive additional offers. One of the special features of our schools is that business knowledge is taught at an early stage: Practical relevance is continuously provided by annual company internships lasting several days, practical work experience in a wide range of trades, taking the Entrepreneur's Driving Licence or taster days at study institutions.

Notebook project

Our schools score with digital infrastructure, digital curricula and digitally competent teachers. Through digitalisation and the development of artificial intelligence, we will be in a constant process of transformation.

We would like to provide each and every one of our pupils from grade 2 onwards with their own notebook at a reasonable price, which will be their personal work tool. We have decided on a uniform, universally usable 2-in-1 device (laptop and tablet), which fulfils all the requirements of a modern digital everyday teaching life. A notebook that can be used both electronically and with a pen, which contains electronic textbooks, has access to the school cloud (LernSax) and contains all the applications that are necessary in everyday school life. We will provide special support for families with several children or limited financial resources!
