Nursery School (Ages 3 - 5): We use our nursery school to prepare children in a play-based manner for the teaching and learning which takes place at primary school. Our activities are aimed at five year old’s in the year before they begin school.
We take a holistic approach towards a daily routine in which the children gain experience in learning together and in organising themselves. We pay particular attention to personal skills development in such areas as holding a pen, working autonomously, concentration, logical thinking, reading and an understanding of numbers.
Teaching predominantly takes place in English according to the immersion method in order to ensure that the children are fully prepared to enter Year 1 of primary school. One of the childcare specialists for each group speaks (almost) entirely in English. This enables the children to learn the language within a natural daily context. Primary School (Grades 1 - 4): The curriculum of our private school taught is based on the outline curriculum of the federal state of Hamburg. We also use the Cambridge International Primary Programme (CIPP) in the subjects English, mathematics and science. Our students are taught bilingually according to the immersion concept (German-English). Secondary School: Planned for school year 2011/2012
