Admission to the Steinmühle Boarding School

A Step for the Whole Family

The admissions process affects not only your child but the entire family. Enrolling in boarding school means change—in daily life, in how we interact with one another, and in our expectations. At the same time, the goal is to find a good fit for the young person: a place where they can grow—and enrich the community.
The central question is what strengths the young person brings to the table and whether we can provide the right environment for them through our programs. Because only when these two elements come together can a solid foundation be established.

The admission process provides guidance in this regard. It is clearly structured, involves personalized support, and allows for a joint decision:

Inquiry & Preparation

In order for us to provide you with thorough and personalized advice during our initial consultation, we need some information in advance. Recent report cards and other documents that help us form a first impression are particularly helpful. It’s important to us that you don’t hold anything back. Even topics you may find difficult are part of the process for us. Only when we have a complete picture can we provide you with sound advice and work together to determine whether our boarding school is the right place for your child.

Telephone Consultation

During a one-on-one conversation, we’ll discuss your situation, answer your questions, and provide an initial assessment. This is based on the information and documents you share with us—ensuring a well-informed dialogue from the very beginning.

Getting to Know Each Other on Campus

After our phone conversation, we invite you to visit our campus to get to know us. While you’re here, you and your child will have the opportunity to talk with our students, experience the atmosphere, and get a sense of what life is like at the boarding school. At the same time, there will be time for discussions—both as a family and, on our part, individually with you as parents and with your child. This will give you a well-rounded impression that will help you take the next step in deciding whether our boarding school is the right fit.

Trial Stay

The next step is a trial stay. The young person spends several days experiencing daily life at the boarding school—including classes, community life, and educational support. This provides a realistic impression of life and learning there. This time is also important for us, as it allows us to observe the young person in their daily routine and get to know them better.

Joint Decision

In the end, it comes down to a joint decision. Admission is granted only when everyone involved is certain that it’s a good fit—for your child, for you as a family, and for us as a boarding school. This is the only way to lay a solid foundation for our time together.
