Tenth School Year or Bridge Year
The focus year is characterized by small groups (max. 8 people) and plenty of room to deepen new ideas. The youth benefit from proven learning offerings of the Lip and personal coaching for their learning journey. With the module kit, they can individually tailor their schedule to their needs.
Our Advantages at a Glance
Personal Development
The focus year strengthens the youth to enter the professional world with diverse experiences. Personal development steps are accompanied, reflected upon, and continuously documented – changes and adjustments find their place. Furthermore, interaction is promoted: open, respectful exchange is at the center.
Learning Journey
The youth design their personal learning journey through the tenth school year themselves: following the module principle, they organize and structure their own differentiated learning path. This way, they can pursue their self-chosen path with motivation and realize their visions and goals.
Out of the Box
The focus year is there to gather new experiences. Thinking, testing, and implementing one's own ideas is part of their development. But also forward-thinking planning, developing visionary perspectives, networking, broadening horizons, conducting discussions, and taking positions are part of the daily program.
