Grundschule Tegelweg

Over 300 young minds bustle within the walls of Grundschule Tegelweg. Here in the Vahrenheide/Bothfeld district of Hanover, Grundschule Tegelweg isn’t just a school. It’s a vibrant hub of learning and growth. Grundschule Tegelweg became an “offene Ganztagsschule,” an open all-day school, in the 2017/2018 school year. This means extended care and a rich tapestry of activities are woven into the daily lives of its students. Imagine the hallways filled with the chatter of children from diverse backgrounds, nearly 70 percent with a migration background, their voices a symphony of languages. Grundschule Tegelweg recognizes the richness this diversity brings. They actively work to break down language barriers. Parent letters are translated into multiple languages. Multilingual staff members facilitate communication and understanding between families and the school. The school is deeply committed to language-sensitive teaching. Their Deutsch als Zweitsprache (German as a Second Language) program nurtures the burgeoning German language skills of its students. But Grundschule Tegelweg is more than just academics. It strives to cultivate well-rounded individuals. They aim to instill values of independence, helpfulness, and tolerance. The school encourages active participation from not just students, but also parents and community partners. Together, they shape a vibrant school life. Through initiatives like “SchulePlus,” working groups have formed, focusing on key areas. They tackle topics like teacher well-being, peer observation, social learning, and methodological approaches. Grundschule Tegelweg is a place where learning extends beyond textbooks. A place where diversity is celebrated. A place where every child is empowered to reach their full potential.
