Talented support at LIPSCHULE Zurich

There are many different types of talent. We believe that all children have a right to appropriate support. This is why we are committed to getting parents, teachers and other experts to work together. At regular status reviews we jointly define the goals to serve as a framework for individual ongoing development. This enables our pupils to realize their creative, artistic or sporting potential to optimum effect.

Well mentored, quickly recognized

Children of kindergarten and primary school age already possess a disposition for networked thinking and acting. To stimulate this, they not only need inner drive but outside input as well. This is where we come in with our dedicated mentored learning. We also organize courses and workshops at sports clubs, children’s universities and private institutions or invite experts to come to us.

A refuge for talented and gifted children

Children with special gifts are usually perfectly aware of their strengths and weaknesses. The strengths need to be built on and the weaknesses minimized. Practising age-appropriate learning and work techniques helps pupils to acquire more structure. Solution-based learning is not just a slogan for us, but everyday reality.

Talented support for children in the areas of sport, music and arts

Whether your child is sporty, interested in art or prefers to make music is actually immaterial. He or she is definitely at the right place with us here at LIPSCHULE. We offer pupils with sporting ambitions personalized timetables that accommodate their needs and training schedules. Musical and creative talents don’t miss out either. They also have high priority on our syllabus.

The central idea behind talented support at LIPSCHULE

Our private day school is part of Netzwerk Begabungsförderung, a talented support network whose policies we follow. We have a general system in place that allows us a considerable degree of flexibility at all levels. Through cross-curricular learning processes we encourage personal initiative and provide the necessary space and time. In doing so, we focus strongly on nurturing a healthy self-confidence in our pupils.

At our private school we believe in systematically supporting gifted children by applying constructivist educational methodology and competence-oriented teaching approaches, in particular in the areas of music, art and sport.
