Others face challenges early on in developing their potential in the large classes of regular school. Despite similar intelligence, they develop quite differently. ## Our experience Our experiences gained at the Kurpfalz boarding school since 1961 have shown us that the causes of performance fluctuations in intelligent children are diverse: The rigid state school system makes it difficult to promote individual learning abilities, overcrowded classes leave little room for the individual teacher to cater to students, and early decisions regarding foreign languages or school tracks do not always do justice to a student’s development. Extended illness, missed classes, or transferring to another school can unintentionally plunge some children into a school crisis. Even highly gifted individuals increasingly fail due to the lack of flexibility in the state school system. Additionally, there is often a growing burden from extracurricular activities, the pressure of the eight-year gymnasium, and the overload of stimuli from the ubiquitous variety of media. When several of the mentioned factors come together, school performance often declines slowly but steadily. Since many subjects build on material from previous years, missing fundamental knowledge from earlier grades becomes insurmountable obstacles as the level increases. ## Parents react with concern Tutoring sessions, crisis meetings, promised improvement, and joint efforts towards the end of the school year can initially avert the crisis. However, behind these efforts lies the fact that only the symptoms are being addressed. Necessary foundational knowledge is still lacking, and work habits and learning methodologies are not changing. Gaps in knowledge and understanding accumulate year by year, until sometimes the notation “will not be promoted” appears on the report card. ## It doesn’t have to come to that At the Kurpfalz boarding school, we have developed a school concept that focuses on the sustainability of educational development, meets the needs of our students in particular, promotes and challenges them, restores their joy in school, and secures long-term success. ## Classes with a maximum of ten students Our classes never have more than ten students. Our teachers take the time for each individual. This guarantees more attention and personalized support. Everyone can ask questions, and everyone is asked. Those who bring problems from previous years receive integrated tutoring sessions, coaching in the daily schedule, or intensive individual support for spelling issues. Connected with the clear objective of our students to improve their performance, early successes soon emerge, showing that school can be fun. ![](https://www.kurpfalz-internat.de/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/kurpfalz-internat-naturwissenschaften-mint.avif) *Making natural sciences tangible* ![](https://www.kurpfalz-internat.de/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/kurpfalz-internat-zuwendung-fuer-einzelne.avif) *More attention for the individual* ## 30 Reasons for the Kurpfalz Boarding School At Kurpfalz Internat, we develop your child’s hidden potential.

Through small learning groups, targeted tutoring, coaching, and specific support measures, we ensure sustainable learning success. Everyone has a part of the lesson, and everyone is important. The classes have a maximum of ten students. This guarantees intensive support and allows for lessons in which everyone is asked and can ask questions. Those who bring learning gaps receive immediate support from us: integrated tutoring hours in the daily schedule, coaching, or – in special cases such as dyslexia – therapeutic support. Our concept aims not only to stabilize current performance but also to successfully guide each individual towards obtaining their high school diploma or secondary school certificate in the long term. At Kurpfalz Boarding School, everyone should achieve the best possible results for themselves. We accompany, support, and motivate them to do their best. Those who divide a lesson by the number of students in the class know how much time is left for each one. In a class with a maximum of 10 students, everyone enjoys more quiet to work concentrated and sustainably. One reason why our students at the Kurpfalz Boarding School can almost always improve their performance.
