School Statement | |||
| In our school, there are 110 female students who join us for Primary Year Six, and continue with a preparatory course and three senior forms on secondary school level which prepare for an integration into professional life and life as an adult. We do not aim at just educating the brain, but we try to convey the decisive qualifications demanded in our society: willingness to cooperate, ability to take over responsibility, flexibility and self-determined learning. Our concept can only be realized because all of our young women are boarders. We provide a surrounding in which unrestrained and productive creativity and behaviour is exercised daily. The basis for this process is provided by a team of educators who are perfectly attuned to each other. This team offers mutual support, and fully convinced stands for an atmosphere of appreciation and openness. We regard our school of stimulation as an alternative and holistic educational proposition, which is meant to add to education in the family and to provide a place in which a Christian personality can unfold in a solidary community. Daily we labour that these words do not stay empty shells, but develop their meaning of active commitment and continuous advancement. | |||
