The LzE is open to all children - regardless of their parents‘ religion, ethnic origin, worldview and income. After the trial days and detailed information sessions with the parents, an individual admission interview takes place for each child at the LzE.
The LzE can accept new students at any time, including during the current school year.
The LzE wants equally intellectual, creative, artistic and practical
and develop social skills in children and young people.
From the first school year onwards, LzE students learn three foreign languages. Boys and girls knit, sew and tailor together in handicrafts and saw, hammer and file together in craft lessons. It is important to us that both the left and (and especially) the right hemisphere of the brain are used alternately and are linked through movements such as Brain Gym, dance or martial arts.
From the first grade onwards, the LzE students study a play they have written themselves and deal with a topic of their choice in theory and practice in a semester paper. Gardening and forest visits are also integral parts of the curriculum.
The LzE has daily structures. We have lunch together. The breaks are organized individually with the learning companions.
In the morning, the students come to the LzE from 8:30 a.m.
The timetables are as follows:

We have many requests for a place in the LzE. In principle, a sniff is possible at any time. Before the trial, we invite the parents to have a conversation. The LzE management introduces you to the LzE and answers your questions. The financing is then discussed and the trial is arranged.
The LzE'ers should use the times so that they do not take any homework home with them. It is important to us that we rhythmize the LzE times so that the tasks can be done in the LzE. But there are always students who like to learn additionally at home.
Basically, our aim is to encourage or ignite the joy of learning in the child, so that every work - in the LzE or at home - is completed with fun and intrinsic motivation.
From the 1st to the 6th grade, the following applies: Even if the LzE waives grades, the student work is of course recognized. Instead of grades, there are individual assessments in which the teachers pay equal attention to the personal development and learning progress of their students. So it's not just the level of knowledge that counts, but rather the overall development over a certain period of time. LzE students learn from kindergarten to sixth grade in a stable class community, regardless of the school qualification they are aiming for: no one is left behind on the way.
From the 7th grade onwards, the LzE offers students voluntary tests and work with grades. These help learners prepare for day X in order to access and test their knowledge. No artificial pressure is created, but rather the intrinsic motivation to master learning topics is encouraged. This also ensures that the students can provide employers with certificates comparable to those from elementary school.
Since our everyday learning routine is very action-oriented and tailored to the respective development phase of the learning partners, this question rarely arises. The children and young people develop their own initiative not because of external pressure to perform, but rather because of a lively interest and personal enthusiasm for the diverse everyday learning content. The learning companion designs these creatively and realistically, so that they are based on the children's personal experiences and give them their own experiences.
During the first two hours of each morning, the students work intensively on one subject area over several weeks. For example, the students have two hours of mathematics, geography, German, history or another major subject every morning for three weeks. After a few weeks, the content of the era changes to a different topic so that students connect with it deeply. The learning partners consolidate basic skills such as arithmetic or writing in ongoing practice sessions beyond the period lessons. Following the period lessons, specialist teachers take over the lessons in sports, foreign languages, music and the craft and artistic subjects.
It applies equally to class, specialist and upper school teachers that their training must be at least equivalent to state training. In the lower and middle schools, the focus of all learning is not only on imparting pure specialist knowledge, but it is also about enabling the learning partners to have a lively, experience-rich relationship with the learning content. Learning can be fun – for a lifetime.
In the upper grades, academically or technically trained learning guides teach the young people in all subjects. The practical skills that the learning partners have acquired over the entire LtE period are supplemented by various internships: in an agricultural and a forestry internship, at a programming company, with an architect, etc., the learning partners receive an extremely realistic experience Training basis. The actual purpose of the internships is not to find a career, but rather to practice important social skills.
The LzE is ideologically, politically and religiously independent. Quality is at the center of what we do. Our aim is to deliver quality in everyday learning, in the care and support of learning partners, in dealing with parents and in private school and company management.
