\n

How fortunate that the outdoor facilities on the Steinm\u00fchle campus are so<\/span> spacious. And how wonderful that the weather was so<\/span> perfect on the day the boarding students arrived. As a result, restrictions, social distancing, and hygiene measures did not dampen the welcome afternoon on Sunday<\/span> before school began. Instead of gathering in the dining hall as usual, the new boarding students and their families took their seats at flower-adorned tables outdoors\u2014well sheltered from the warm sun and treated to a cake buffet set up by the kitchen team, complemented by cold drinks and fruit. Soft music played in the background. <\/p>\n

“We’d like to introduce our team,” said boarding school director Anke Muszynski as she welcomed the 23 new students and their families.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Parents\u2014and in some cases grandparents and many siblings\u2014had traveled with the students to get a feel for Steinm\u00fchle Boarding School. The system in the residential groups has also been changed: Steinm\u00fchle Boarding School now relies on a mixed-age structure, so that students in grades 7 through 13 live under one roof. The residential group in the Steinm\u00fchle Biohaus is an exception; there, the very young students live together among themselves. <\/p>\n

Steinm\u00fchle is an international company<\/strong><\/p>\n

China has long been a common country of origin for students at Steinm\u00fchle Boarding School. This is also the case<\/span> this school year. However, places were also eagerly filled by children and teenagers from the United States, France, Switzerland, and Russia. Many parents from all regions of Germany also chose to send their children to Steinm\u00fchle Boarding School. \u201cWe know our son is in good hands here,\u201d explained one father. <\/p>\n

The students and families who have been familiar with Steinm\u00fchle Boarding School for some time greatly appreciate this professional care. When the \u201clong-time\u201d residents began arriving at 3:00 p.m., there was great joy at seeing the staff and fellow residents again, while saying goodbye to their families was more of a routine matter. By 6:00 p.m. at the latest, family members had to begin their journey home. <\/p>\n

Only time will tell how the start of the school year will actually go under the current COVID-19 regulations; \u201cBut we are confident.\u201d That same evening, the children and teenagers received a briefing on the current COVID-19 safety guidelines for the start of the school year.<\/p>\n

The number of new students equals the number of graduates<\/strong><\/p>\n

But there is also news that is entirely positive. After more than 20 students graduated from Steinm\u00fchle Boarding School at the end of the school year, 23 children and teenagers have already been admitted for the 2020\u201321 school year: \u201cWe were able to guide our graduates safely through the Abitur despite the pandemic. The fact that we had practically the same number of new admissions speaks volumes about Steinm\u00fchle.\u201d Several new employees who have chosen Steinm\u00fchle Boarding School as their employer are sending the same positive signal. They are strengthening the educational team in the residential groups.<\/p>\n

These encouraging updates are complemented by the news that tablets are now available for every teaching team. This ensures that Steinm\u00fchle students in the tablet classes receive the best possible support. At the same time, this measure advances the ongoing process of digitization. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Despite all the challenges, Steinm\u00fchle Boarding School is looking forward to the new school year and is confident that together, we will overcome all obstacles!<\/p>\n

Steinm\u00fchle Boarding School is extremely confident that it can fully meet the challenges posed by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. A role model for the students is the graduating class, which left the boarding school at the end of the school year. They did not allow \u201cCorona\u201d to limit their performance. <\/p>\n
