Rooms for living, retreats for well-being Living

Boys and girls from Years 5 to 7, affectionately known as ‘frogs’ at our school, live on campus in the Weiglhaus and Erlenhaus buildings. They stay in twin rooms and live in the same building as their house parents. This means that the children always have a contact person available.

Another important contact person for every frog is their mentor, a student from the middle or upper school who supports the younger student in all matters during their settling-in period. Joint activities at the weekend or even tutoring strengthen the friendship of this team, which often lasts beyond the school years.

Middle school students are accommodated in houses with twin rooms throughout the campus. They are looked after by house parents and, compared to the younger students, are given greater freedom, which they can use responsibly. For example, by mentoring younger students, organising projects and events, or getting involved in social services outside the boarding school.

Students in Years 11, 12 and 13 usually live in double rooms in boys' or girls' houses in the new beech houses on campus. Although the last two years at school are focused on achieving university entrance qualifications and the traditional class structure is no longer in place, communal living in the form of tutorials and community services continues to be highly valued.

Responsibility for younger students is also not forgotten, for example through tutoring or leading sports groups. After completion of Year 13, we recognise special services to the community with prizes and honours.
