\n At Kurpfalz Internat, we develop your child’s hidden potential. Here are 30 reasons why you should provide your child with truly special years at Kurpfalz Internat. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

In a time when the world seems to be falling apart, it is important for us as a host family to support our students in their development into self-confident individuals and to instill in them important values for a successful life path.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n Classes at the Kurpfalz boarding school never have more than 10 students <\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n

In classes with no more than TEN students, our dedicated teachers take the time for each individual. Here, everyone can ask questions and everyone is asked. Our teachers explain, review, and are patient. In the individual atmosphere of the small learning group, everyone gets the attention they deserve. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Thanks to the effective teaching and the concentrated work atmosphere, our students get more out of their lessons. They learn that problems can be solved, successes motivate, and school can be fun. The positive feedback boosts their self-confidence and encourages them to reach their potential. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

At the private Kurpfalz boarding school, we operate a state-recognized grammar school and a state-recognized secondary school with a total of only 170 students. We offer various educational pathways: Abitur in the G8 track, secondary school diploma, and the possibility of transferring to the grammar school after obtaining the secondary school diploma. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n Classes in double periods <\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n

We teach in double periods. Instead of six to eight subjects a day, our students have only three to four and can focus on what matters most. Our teachers use this attention for a more creative and action-oriented teaching approach that puts the student at the center. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Classes, homework, sports, and leisure activities have their fixed place in our daily schedule. With the help of our digital information system, students can access their study materials and appointments at any time. The established rhythm, transparent communication, and clear daily structure help our students to organize themselves. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

The future of education and career life is digital. Therefore, it is important to us to prepare our students successfully for digital challenges. That is why we have equipped all classrooms and specialized rooms with digital Cleartouch\u00ae displays. In lessons and study time, our students use a managed iPad\u00ae as a working tool, which is provided to them free of charge. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

At Kurpfalz Internat, we focus on imparting a solid learning methodology. Method and competency weeks, as well as daily supervised study times, provide our students with the necessary framework to reinforce the content taught in class. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

The competencies of our students are the focus for us. They repeatedly undergo various competency tests at the Kurpfalz Boarding School, which show them their strengths, as well as their development potentials. This way, they know where there is still work to be done. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Competent handling of media is particularly important today. Therefore, we offer various opportunities to work with the iPad\u00ae via Wi-Fi. At the same time, we ensure that the tablet remains a school work tool and set age-appropriate limits on the use of mobile phones. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

The small study groups and the communal living in the boarding school community strengthen the communication skills of our students. They learn to present the results of their work, to give constructive criticism, and to assert themselves successfully. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

In more than 65 extracurricular projects, our students find strong counterweights to mental work. Sports, crafts, and entertainment thus hold a high value at Kurpfalz Internat. Here, everyone finds an offer that they enjoy. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

At the beginning of each school year, we set our experiential educational highlights. Here, the grade levels face challenges in nature together, which they overcome as a team and with a lot of fun.

In the community of the boarding school, we place great importance on “team play.” Here, everyone must learn that it is important to take social responsibility for others. In the student parliament, as mentors for new students, as project leaders, or as “Blue Lions,” our students take the opportunity to engage with the community. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

We see ourselves as partners of the parents. Four assessments a year, which we make available for download in our boarding school management system (IMS), provide guidance for parents and students. Two parent-teacher meetings, as well as direct contact with the management team, teachers, and mentors, ensure a regular flow of information between the boarding school and the family. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
