Basic levels 1 and 2 (Montessori kindergarten and Montessori school)

Following the Montessori principle to create a culture that fosters learnin

Children between 3 and 9 are full of energy and have an almost unquenchable thirst for knowledge. These are ideal prerequisites when it comes to helping them develop more initiative. At LIPSCHULE we also take into account their cognitive and artistic gifts as well as their social skills. Lessons are held in German and English. This allows our charges to learn about different forms of communication and cultures in a playful way. We also ensure they get enough physical activity to burn off surplus energy.  This not only has a positive impact on their future school careers, but also throughout their entire later lives.
