Learning with head, heart and hand
Pestalozzi shaped the principle of "learning with head, heart and hand" to advocate a holistic approach to learning. We consider this fact extensively in our teaching. A creative atmosphere and a dedicated team of teachers offer children learning opportunities and individual performance-based support. Pupils with special educational needs or a mother tongue other than German, moving and gifted children, will be supported individually. Traditional spring and fall cleaning actions, singing during Advent and Christmas market in school, funny carnival partys, school and sports events, parent regulars table and parent-teacher days, parents’’café.
