Key areas

Competence building and promotion

We encourage and challenge – in a tailored way: catching up on learning deficits, building on strengths, promoting gifted students (including working groups/projects) and providing advice on transitions. Working groups, competitions and projects complement the lessons and open up additional avenues for learning and experience.

From the very first day of school, we strengthen methodological skills, media literacy, teamwork, career orientation and independent learning – in preparation for the requirements of upper secondary school.

Qualifications

At the end of secondary level I, the following are possible, depending on performance:

  • Secondary school leaving certificate I (secondary school leaving certificate)
  • Secondary school leaving certificate I (secondary school leaving certificate)
  • Extended secondary school leaving certificate I (prerequisite for entry into upper secondary school)
