They are important educational partners for us. We have reserved the weekend for family time. Free from school-related issues, our students can go home on Friday afternoon and return to the boarding school on Sunday evening. ![Video thumbnail](https://i.vimeocdn.com/video/861647453-62cc2efd5434b35737eff819ac557a3b8e40900cf98ed8816ca843e1929c234c-d?region=us&mw=1280&mh=720&q=100) To watch the video, you need to accept cookies.

Not without reason, as the attractive weekend program is appealing. ## The feast on Friday On Friday evenings, our head chef regularly conjures up a special feast: Welcome Dinner, Gentlemen’s Dinner, Ladies’ Dinner, James Bond Evening, Vampire Dinner, St. Martin’s Dinner, Christmas Dinner, Italian Evening, Hawaiian Evening, French Evening, and much more. Florian Grünzinger, who has worked for many years in fine dining, turns every Friday evening into a special culinary experience. ## The trip on Saturday On Saturday, an outing is planned that takes advantage of the diverse offerings provided by the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan region. Sundays are for sleeping in, followed by a big Sunday brunch. In the afternoon, it’s time for sports or preparing for the upcoming school week. ## Examples of the goals of our weekend trips | Advent at the Medieval Village | Go-Kart Racing (Mannheim) | Miramar Weinheim | | --- | --- | --- | | Archaeological excavations in Ladenburg | Highland Games Angelbachtal | Outletcity Metzingen | | ATP Tennis Tournament in Stuttgart | I MAX Speyer | Porsche Museum Stuttgart | | ARENA Sinsheim – Bundesliga match TSG Hoffenheim | IAA Frankfurt | Salt mine Bad Friedrichshall | | Bathing World Sinsheim | Jazz Event Heidelberg | Strasbourg | | Bowling Center Schwetzingen | Climbing park and toboggan run Waldmichelbach | Technical Museum Sinsheim | | Frankfurt Book Fair | Maulbronn Monastery | Bird of Prey Observation Tower Guttenberg Castle | | Carl Bosch Museum Heidelberg | Art event | Water skiing on the Altrhein | | Experiment Heilbronn | Laser tag | Heidelberg Christmas Market | | Filmmuseum Frankfurt | Louisenpark Mannheim | Heidelberg Zoo | | Frankfurt Airport | Long Night of the Museums (Heidelberg Mannheim) | | | Geocaching GIS in Heidelberg | Maginot Line Schoenebourg | | ### Frequently Asked Questions about the Weekend ![](https://www.kurpfalz-internat.de/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2025/09/kpi_personen_hradecky-eltern-schuelerberaterin-320x320.avif) Call us!

Ms. Krystyna Hradecký [+49 6223 961 138](tel:+496223961138) [elternberatung@kurpfalz-internat.de](mailto:elternberatung@kurpfalz-internat.de) Yes. Unlike many other boarding schools, the Kurpfalz boarding school offers the option to go home on weekends. Those who prefer to stay at the boarding school are warmly invited to spend the weekend with us. A decision must be made by Tuesday of the week. On average, about 40 to 50 students stay at the boarding school on weekends and participate in our diverse program. On the weekend, community is at the forefront: our teachers and mentors organize a diverse program – from a communal dinner on Friday to outings and movie visits, as well as sports and game activities. This makes every weekend varied and special. The Kurpfalz boarding school has its own S-Bahn station (Reilsheim). With the S 5 (S-Bahn), you can reach Heidelberg in 15 minutes, and from there, all major German cities by IC or ICE. Our students can therefore arrive and depart independently. Frankfurt Airport is also accessible by public transport.
