Marie-Curie-Schule

Why are those children lining up with such anticipation in front of the Marie-Curie-Schule? It’s not just because the bell is about to ring, signaling the start of a new school day. Today, they’re greeting Luna, the school’s beloved Labradoodle. Since 2008, Luna has been more than just a pet; she’s a furry faculty member at the Marie-Curie-Schule, a half-day primary school nestled in the heart of Bremen’s Horn-Lehe district. Founded in 1971, this school, pulsing with the laughter of over 200 pupils, has a rich history intertwined with the growth of this community. Remember the computer boom in the early 2000s? While other schools scrambled, the Marie-Curie-Schule embraced the digital age. Every classroom here was equipped with two computers. Students received dedicated computer skills training twice a week, culminating in a coveted “Computer Driver’s License”. But the Marie-Curie-Schule isn’t just about digital prowess. It’s a place where imagination flourishes through theatrical productions. In fact, their play “We are looking for the Christmas star,” which tackled the sensitive subjects of intolerance and xenophobia, earned them a special honor. In 2013, they won the Bremen Youth Prize “No Chance for Hate” and a 1,000 euro prize from the Bremen Senate. As we leave the cheerful atmosphere of the Marie-Curie-Schule, remember the wagging tail of a dog named Luna, a symbol of the warmth and innovation that makes this school truly special.
