Bilingualism

Children who have studied in two languages at the same time for a certain number of years perform in average better, not only in foreign languages and their own mother tongue, but also in other subjects.

Our bilingual concept from Kindergarten and Primary School is also continued at secondary level. Lessons will be in one language only – either German or English. Our Secondary School students are able to follow English subjects without any problems; they hold discussions, write and present papers in English.

The students are taught at native language level. About half of the subjects – a higher ratio than at the Phorms Primary School – is taught in German. The students learn to express themselves as fluently as possible in both languages both orally and in writing.
