Our values
Our declared aim is to allow as much freedom as possible but set as many limits as necessary. Children and their development are the focus of our interest. We place a high value on the development of a consciousness of social rules as well as the acquisition of scholastic and intellectual skills. Independently of any cultural, denominational or political direction, we intend that children should be allowed to grow into intelligent, autonomous, socially adept members of our society.
Consideration for other people, reliability and precision, together with care in dealing with the environment – these are values that we do not simply claim for ourselves but also aim to pass on to the children entrusted to us. In the end, the results of the educational work in any individual case can only be as good as the support provided for the principles of Maria Montessori in the family home.
Guiding principles
Embody consideration actively - in our multicultural, integrative school, we treat each other with mutual care and respect.
Develop autonomy and self esteem – we support and encourage every child to act independently and autonomously.
"Help me to do it myself" - we are committed to this instruction from Maria Montessori.
Maintain a prepared environment – a lovingly prepared environment offers children the
stimulation to develop freely.
Promote a qualified team – a skilled and dedicated team supports children as they grow and develop.
Require the parents to cooperate – parents and educators work hand in hand with children on their development.
Support lifelong learning and training – we place a high value on the continuous
development of our teaching staff so that we are prepared for the challenges of the future.
Quality Assurance
Our basic values remain stable, but everything else is in flux. The demands placed upon individuals and institutions change constantly and the growth of human understanding calls for us to continue learning throughout our lives. In order for us to meet these challenges, we need a continuous system of Quality Assurance. We have therefore defined ten areas that account for the quality of our day-to-day work.
