our school concept

School can only succeed if it is made in an atmosphere of great mutual trust. This presupposesthat different personalities are accepted and taken seriously by students and teachers with theirindividual characteristics.

Joint activities of pupils and teachers, varied extra-curricular activities in the form of workinggroups (guilds) and last but not least, a joint lunch helps to reduce distance within the groups. Thisall helps to create a good learning atmosphere within small learning groups with a maximum of 20pupils.

Since a positive learning atmosphere is also an indispensable prerequisite for the motivation ofeach individual, we attach great importance to the development of a good class community. Therefore,a weekly class leader lesson (plenum) is an integral part of the lessons up to the intermediatelevel.

Additionally, we run programs to strengthen the class structure and experience-oriented class trips.Up to the 8th grade, grammar school and secondary school pupils are taught together but in a differentiatedway. Separate lessons take place from class 9. In classes 5-8 there are individualizedlearning hours in the schedule, in which project-oriented work is done. They also have the possibilityto take part in competitions.

An essential focus of the lessons is the development of competences and strategies for independentlearning. These are essentially achieved through forms of open teaching such as stationlearning and a free and weekly work plan or projects. In Class 6, there are also interdisciplinarylessons (PBG Class).

The Grovesmühle is open to the outside world through the involvement of experts, regular excursionsand the implementation of internships.The focus of individual support is the Grovesmühle support plan concept. Dyslexia therapy anddyscalculia training are also possible.
