“Welcome” declared the sign at Hochstra\u00dfe 31 in 1963. It marked the birth of a daring idea. This idea now thrives at the Grund- und Mittelschule an der Hochstra\u00dfe.
This is the Grund- und Mittelschule an der Hochstra\u00dfe. Here children attend state school in the morning. They then enjoy lunch and afternoon care from city staff. This all happens in the Tagesheim.
Parents in Munich love this model. Children are cared for from 7:45 AM to 4:00 PM. Care extends to 6:00 PM with optional activities. Teachers and childcare staff work together. This ensures consistent support. The school’s kitchen team provides warm lunches in the new classroom building.
On Mondays, students bring all their materials. They usually leave them at school. This is because they complete their homework here. On Fridays, they take everything home again. The Grund- und Mittelschule an der Hochstra\u00dfe values strong parent collaboration.
The school and Tagesheim collaborate closely. This benefits students from across the city. The Grund- und Mittelschule an der Hochstra\u00dfe is a state school with a municipal Tagesheim. Each grade has only one class from first to ninth grade. Every student attends the Tagesheim. This means they are on site from 7:00 AM to as late as 6:00 PM.
A team of two adults leads each class. There is one teacher and one childcare worker. They spend time together in class. This happens both morning and afternoon. They host joint parent evenings. They also hold weekly parent meetings. The team even goes on school trips together every three years.
The teams gather for regular conferences. School and Tagesheim share spaces. Classrooms double as group rooms. Students learn, do homework, and enjoy activities there.
The leaders of the school and Tagesheim work together. They share budgets. They jointly decide on furniture and room use. They write monthly newsletters for parents. They meet weekly.
The Grund- und Mittelschule an der Hochstra\u00dfe is making its way to becoming \”School N\”.
In 2023, classes 4 and 5 had a big show at Gasteig. It was called M\u00fcnchner Klang(g)schichten.
