\u2026 regular subject instruction takes place in nearly all academic subjects. The content specified by the Hessian curriculum is taught in the traditional Steinm\u00fchlen style\u2014which is highly collaborative and promotes self-efficacy among our students. Most classes are held with the entire class; the second foreign language, religion and ethics, the arts subject, elective courses, and bilingual instruction are, as before, organized into parallel courses based on student selection. <\/p>\n
From the 2017<\/strong> Easter break through the 2017<\/strong> summer break \u2026<\/p>\n \u2026 the students can choose between:<\/p>\n Re: a) Stay Abroad<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Steinm\u00fchle has established partnerships with well-known and established providers of language travel programs and youth exchange programs. In addition to language acquisition, the goal of these stays abroad is always to strengthen personal skills such as self-confidence, independence, communication skills, and perseverance. If you are interested, please consult with Principal Bj\u00f6rn Gemmer. <\/p>\n Re: b) Internship<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n School-based internships (social internship in 8th grade, workplace internship in 9th grade) are often considered too short to provide a genuine insight into a career field. With a timeframe of three to four months, however, the situation is different. Over this period, interns can refine or rule out their career aspirations, become valuable contributors to a company, and set the stage for long-term employment as summer workers or participants in a dual study program. Since this program requires a long-term leave of absence from classes, it must be closely coordinated with the school administration. <\/p>\n Regarding c) \u201cReady for High School\u201d<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n The \u201cReady for High School\u201d course involves small learning groups and focuses on<\/strong> reviewing key material from middle school\u2014especially in those subjects where the pressure to advance is greatest, that is, in the core subjects, the natural sciences, and in elective subjects that cannot be dropped or are frequently chosen as exam subjects for the Abitur. In this way, we aim to ease the transition into the upper secondary level of the Gymnasium and lay a solid foundation <\/strong>for the most successful Abitur possible. <\/p>\n Students in our current 9a, 9b, and 9c classes will have the opportunity to transfer to the new 10d class. This would allow them to be part of an even smaller class than before and receive even more personalized academic support. <\/p>\n We welcome students from other schools! Students currently in the ninth grade at a G8 high school are welcome to join our flexible 10th-grade class and thus transition to the G9 system. Students in ninth grade at comprehensive schools may also transfer to Steinm\u00fchle (provided they meet the academic requirements for a Gymnasium). They should contact us and schedule an introductory meeting to consult with one of Steinm\u00fchle\u2019s two principals. <\/p>\n After the tenth grade, all students who are promoted to the 11th grade are granted equivalence to the intermediate school diploma (Realschulabschluss).<\/p>\n Students continue their academic journey in the introductory phase (11th grade) of our specialized upper school program. You can find more information on our website, request brochures from the school office, or learn more about the specialized upper school program and the wide range of advanced courses (including sports and art) during a personal consultation. <\/p>\n\n
