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.

  • 5 lessons of mathematics
  • 3 lessons of English
  • 3 lessons of German
  • 1 lesson of general studies

German and English with equal value

German and English each receive three subject lessons and therefore equal scheduled time. Both are also used as languages of education and communication for texts, discussion, research, projects and access to different sources of knowledge.

Bilingual learning does not mean dividing every minute mechanically. What matters is that students use both languages regularly and meaningfully, developing confidence in each.

Mathematics, general studies and usable foundations

Five mathematics lessons per week create room for understandable foundations, logical thought and transparent routes to solutions. General studies 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.
