Cycle 3

Secondary School – 12 to 16 years

We support young people in a formative phase of life with an educational offering that emphasizes trust, self-efficacy, and orientation. Practical and future-oriented.

Flexible

Our location near the city allows young people the right balance of independence and guidance. Thanks to the bus stop in front of the house, we are easy to reach. At the same time, our students benefit from a full-day program with lunch and supervised learning times. In addition to the open learning space with individual workstations, our studios, group rooms, and the lakeside playground offer a variety of learning environments.

Ages 12–16

Our private secondary school – designed for young people

In the third cycle, we take the path towards career choice. At the same time, there are still many skills to develop and topics to explore. As a private secondary school, we use the full scope within Curriculum 21. Instead of grades, students receive a comprehensive competency profile at the end of the semester, reflecting their personal interests and strengths.

Our advantages at a glance

Career choice – finding your own path

From secondary school onwards, career choice becomes more focused. Our students learn to recognize their strengths and apply with a meaningful competency profile – not with grades. We encourage young people to find their own paths and support them with targeted coaching and a strong network, which includes parents and alumni. Thanks to flexible structures, trial apprenticeships are possible at any time.

Media competence – Ready for the digital working world

Our students are deeply supported in dealing with digital media. They learn to research and critically assess sources. Additionally, it is demonstrated how AI can be applied in (school) everyday life and how to handle it responsibly. Besides the opportunities, the risks are also discussed, which is why critical thinking and action as well as self-reflection are highlighted.

Individual promotion of interdisciplinary skills

In Cycle 3, our focus is on individual coaching to expand personal, social, and methodological skills. Our teachers concentrate on uncovering and promoting each student's strengths. In supporting the personal learning path, we communicate openly and regularly with the young people and their parents.

The creative toolkit for the future

To prepare our students for their future in the working world, we place great emphasis on acquiring core competencies in the social and cultural fields. Excursions to museums or theaters provide insights into the creative world. The young people also organize things themselves: several project weeks and camps on different subjects take place over three school years.
