| Boarding Schools |
|||||||||
| Mostly these schools are Public
Schools – private schools without
any financial help from the state. They have to compete with other
schools on a large and free market and therefore, the quality of the
product “education” becomes a decisive measure of success
for these schools. Hence, only the best schools offering the most
qualified education can survive. Supplementary, a good education stands for intensive care of the pupils. In most cases, private boarding schools are those to reach this goal. Classes consisting of 15 – 20 pupils in the Senior School are normal. |

| In the Lower Sixth, there is a ratio of 1 to 8 between teachers and students. Teaching is based on a National Curriculum with Government proposals. At the end, there are centrally organised examinations supervised by a regional Examination Board. | |||||||||

| Besides the mandatory regular
lessons, a boarding school offers a wide range of sporting
activities – sports are part
of the regular day routine. Furthermore, there are several
offers for creative
activities at all schools. Additionally,
there is a com-munity service compulsory for pupils at many schools.
Pupils can choose whether to take part in such a community service
or the CCF (Combined Cadet Force) or Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme
– all activities to train leader-ship abilities. The aim of education at a boarding school is to promote |
|
||||||||
| each
single student as a whole person: life in a community brings up tolerance,
considerateness, discipline, independence, and self-responsibility
– all based on a highly academic level. Attention: During the holidays we offer a lot of possibilities for intensive English language summer courses in a number of our selected boarding schools or in specific Summer Schools. |
