Our Educational Project

We provide both training (a good grounding in study skills) and development of personal skills (critical thinking, creativity, leadership and/or teamwork) for success in the professional plans of our students.

Our educational approach is characterised by:

• A high level of academic rigour
• An advanced curriculum in English and German: our students can prepare to reach level C2 (Advanced) in English and B1 in German with language assistants and small group work
• A Mentor Project: personal attention of faculty and mentors (students work in small groups and will have weekly teacher-mentor counselling to optimise their academic performance)
• Continuity in Values Education with our Responsible Education Program
