Our Core Curriculum

All branches of our school lead to matriculation standard qualification. Passing 10th form is equivalent to a secondary school qualification.
On the way to matriculation standard, children will be taught the usual wide range of general subjects:

German, mathematics, religion/ethics and sports are taught in all forms.
Biology, physics and chemistry offer profound knowledge in sciences.
Geography, history, economics and law, and social studies represent the social field.
Music and arts provide education in fine arts.

Two foreign languages are compulsory for all pupils.

English as the 1st foreign language in the 5th form
French or Latin as a 2nd language in the 6th form

From 8th form onwards, we offer two different educational branches:

The language branch with Italian, Spanish or French (only in combination with Latin) as the 3rd foreign language
The economic and social branch with the focus on social studies, practical social training, chemistry and household/nutrition instead of the 3rd foreign language

The core curriculum reflects a variety, of which a pupil can choose according to his/her skills and likes. But Non scholae, sed vitae discimus. That is why we also support pupils' talents in music, sports and fine arts. There is a number of work groups and optional courses:
