Schule An den Teichwiesen

At Schule An den Teichwiesen, every child’s learning journey begins with unique experiences. The school recognizes that students have individual needs and diverse learning styles. Some might excel at numbers and letters, while others possess creative talents or prior knowledge. Schule An den Teichwiesen embraces these differences. They aim to provide personalized support, ensuring each student can thrive. The school’s approach considers the varying ages and knowledge levels within a single grade. They strive to create a fair and inclusive learning environment. This is where their “Teachers in the Morning” concept comes into play. They work closely with parents, recognizing them as experts on their children. Schule An den Teichwiesen became a “partially bound all-day school” in 2013. This means extended school days on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 3 PM. Students enjoy a midday break with lunch in the school’s canteen. A wide range of extracurricular activities are available from Monday to Thursday. Care is provided until 4 PM, with optional paid early and late care available. The school emphasizes cooperative learning. Students exchange ideas, solve problems together, and learn from each other as a team. Open learning methods, like free work, workshop lessons, and project work, are used in all classes. Students develop essential skills like methodological competence, teamwork, independence, and creative thinking. Schule An den Teichwiesen encourages students to take responsibility for their learning. This helps them develop time management skills, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and prepare for future educational transitions. A key aspect of the all-day program is the integration of morning and afternoon activities. Teachers and educators work together to create a cohesive learning experience. This creates a consistent environment where children feel secure and oriented. The school day begins at 8 AM. It ends at 1 PM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the day starts with enrichment and support courses from 8 AM to 8:45 AM. This includes activities like choir and orchestra rehearsals.
