Two language subjects, each with its own profile
German classes are conducted in German, and English classes in English. Each subject focuses on its own language and learning goals, so factual topics are not carried from German lessons into English lessons.
German and English have equal standing as distinct language subjects. German is taught in three lessons per week and English in two. This gives students the opportunity to develop expression, comprehension and confidence purposefully in each subject.
- a dedicated learning space for German
- a dedicated learning space for English
- three German lessons each week
- two English lessons each week
Small groups create space to speak
Language develops through dialogue. Small online groups allow students to contribute, ask questions and try different ways of expressing an idea.
Dedicated teachers follow development over time and provide reliable personal feedback. The result is a connected learning environment rather than an anonymous self-study course.
Bilingual learning grows gradually in mathematics and general education
In mathematics and general education, the second language is introduced carefully into subject learning. Stage 1 begins with essential subject vocabulary in both languages; by Stage 2, students encounter bilingual elements much more frequently.
From Stage 3 onward, the bilingual approach can unfold fully in these two subjects. The linguistic challenge grows alongside students' subject understanding and independence.
- Stage 1: build bilingual subject vocabulary
- Stage 2: use both languages more frequently
- from Stage 3: work extensively in both languages
