HOW do we ensure the best support for our learners?

Our class teachers teach their learners in several subjects, get to know and understand each child very well and provide excellent support.

Language-sensitive teaching as a consistent teaching principle:

New vocabulary is developed and practiced in a child-orientated manner during all themes and topics.
Many cross-curricular and multisensory activities are offered to ensure holistic learning.
With motivating tasks, which include cooperative and differentiated forms of learning, our children learn from and with each other in a co-educational way.
