With an information evening for parents and an open house for the whole family, Steinm\u00fchle once again provided information this year to numerous prospective students interested in a spot in 5th grade for the upcoming 2019\u201320 school year.<\/p>\n

At the well-attended evening event, principals Bj\u00f6rn Gemmer and Bernd Holly, along with Frank Wemme, the academic director, outlined the school\u2019s structure, daily routine, educational philosophy, curriculum, and admission criteria, and explained the school\u2019s mission. It was made clear that Steinm\u00fchle allows each student to focus on their own individual interests\u2014regardless of the area in which the student has personal strengths and wishes to develop them further. The possibility of earning the Hessian International Abitur through continuous participation in bilingual instruction starting in 7th grade was also discussed. Furthermore, the discussion covered the successful project-based learning at Steinm\u00fchle as well as the school\u2019s quality management system, through which the school regularly evaluates itself to ensure continuous improvement. <\/p>\n

Impressions from School<\/strong><\/p>\n

The information day, the second part of the overall event, gave the students\u2014who are currently in fourth grade\u2014a chance to experience many aspects of Steinm\u00fchlen. Divided into groups, they were invited to explore various aspects of the curriculum, marveled at the experiments in the NaUnt (science) program, listened to pieces performed by the wind ensemble, and tried their hand at pottery\u2014with great success. A tour of the campus gave everyone involved a sense of the classrooms and sports facilities, and it was explained that the ongoing renovation of the main building will result in even better conditions. Using an interactive board, attendees were able to get a sense of what teaching at Steinm\u00fchle will look like in the future\u2014a future in which not only will tablet-based instruction be gradually introduced, but the traditional chalkboard will also be phased out step by step. Finally, parents had the opportunity to speak directly with parent representatives in the Steinm\u00fchle upper school room. There, they received first-hand answers to any questions that might have arisen following the information provided earlier. <\/p>\n

The school administration and Managing Director Dirk Konnertz were pleased to report that both information sessions for the future 5th-grade class at Steinm\u00fchle once again drew an extremely high level of interest, at least as high as last year. We would like to thank the students and faculty members who helped organize the information day. <\/p>\n
