In our Secondary school, English is integrated as a working language in all classes of the lower and upper grades in various subjects according to the CLIL method (= Content and Language Integrated Learning).
Ideally, the children from the elementary school bring the Cambridge Certificate “Movers” with them (level A1).
To enable children who have not reached this level in elementary school to catch up with the requirements in secondary school, we offer an English course in the summer semester before the change to our school.

At the admission interview, the level is determined by a Hello Activity with our language assistants and a conversation about support options is offered.
In addition, there is the possibility for the children of the 4th grade of elementary school to improve their language level at a Summer School in the summer before school starts.
