Today’s world is continuously changing and challenging. Therefore, the most important task of the school is for students to discover a life long joy in learning and to educate them to become responsible citizens. We believe that each individual can develop an understanding for the world, himself/herself and for others through inquiring, discussing, deciding, and thinking.

Our teachers offer a variety of approved teaching and learning methods. They do not only function dynamically, purposefully and firmly, but also entertainingly in order to be interesting and challenging. The primary goal is to promote, inspire, encourage, and challenge students in their different abilities. Our motto is: ‘Learning to Understand’.

The teaching schedule includes languages, mathematics, information technology, science, social sciences, as well as art, music, and sports. English lessons already start in pre-school and are intensified in levels 1 to 4. From 3rd grade onward students learn the official language Filipino. Emphasis is also put on sports and swimming classes. If one’s physical abilities are strengthened, one also strengthens his/her self confidence and can follow an active and healthy life style, which is again a basis for successful learning.

We teach the children to organize their work independently as well as to develop a range of thinking solutions. This enables them to work together successfully with others and to acquire an understanding.

While basic teaching exists along a wider range, our programme allows our skilled children to be push to their limits.

In order to create the best possible learning environment for the child, we not only consider his/her personality but always also the family situation. Therefore, we specially value an intensive, open and trustworthy relationship between the parents and the teachers. Parents, teachers, and students are partners in the learning process. We encourage the parents to be an active and encouraging role.

Regular festivities and parties during the year offer a platform to meet outside the classes and to exchange. For example, the elementary school’s grill party at the beginning of the year, the Christmas party, the Easter brunch, or the summer party.
