“Learning with through for and in nature” That’s the motto of the 60 Grundschule. Right here in Leipzig’s Knautkleeberg-Knauthain district. This isn’t just any school. It’s a place where learning extends beyond textbooks.
The 60 Grundschule isn’t just a building. It’s a hub of activity. It’s a place where children learn to love nature. The school has a special connection to the outdoors. Their motto is a testament to this.
Since 2017 the school has been bursting at the seams. More students meant a need for more space. The city responded. A major expansion project added six new classrooms. This ensures enough room for all the students. It also replaced the temporary canteen from 2008 with a permanent one. A new multipurpose room was also added. This amazing expansion cost 4.6 million euros.
The 60 Grundschule offers more than just standard education. It boasts a library and various after-school programs. There’s also a student council and a support association. It even has barrier-free access for everyone. The school is dedicated to developing logical thinking skills from first grade onwards. This is achieved through their status as a German chess school.
The school has its own sports hall. It’s large enough for a wide variety of activities. It’s also a popular community space.
The 60 Grundschule is more than bricks and mortar. It’s a vital part of its community. It’s a place of learning. It’s a place of growth. It’s a place where children thrive. The future is bright for the 60 Grundschule and its students.
