Twelve live lessons per week

The shared online programme comprises twelve lessons per week. Each lesson lasts 45 minutes and begins no earlier than 1 p.m. Central European Time. This framework provides dependable anchor points while remaining manageable for families in different daily situations.

The live lessons are not an automated video course. Dedicated subject teachers explain, ask questions, provide feedback and follow each student's development over time.

  • 4 mathematics lessons
  • 3 German lessons
  • 2 English lessons
  • 3 general education lessons

Equal standing with a clear subject structure

German and English have equal standing as distinct language subjects. German has three lessons and English two lessons in the weekly schedule; both subjects follow their own learning goals.

Bilingual learning does not mean dividing every minute mechanically. In mathematics and general education, Stage 1 begins with bilingual subject vocabulary. Both languages are used more frequently in Stage 2 before the bilingual approach can unfold fully from Stage 3 onward.

Mathematics, general education and usable foundations

Four mathematics lessons per week create room for understandable foundations, logical thought and transparent routes to solutions. General education connects subjects from society, nature and technology.

The programme is designed for students aged 10 to 18. Its learning stages broadly correspond to German Gymnasium grades 5 to 12 and reflect age, prior knowledge and growing independence.

AI as a tool within the learning process

Artificial intelligence is not treated as an isolated extra. It is integrated where it can support subject learning – for example when developing questions, comparing approaches or challenging an argument.

Students also learn to recognise fabricated claims, verify sources independently and explain results in their own words. AI can support a thinking process, but it does not take over judgement or responsibility.
