Pedagogical principles


Our educational work is based on nine educational principles:

  • Community and individuality

    At our school we want to live community and preserve individuality. School life and teaching must give enough space to community life. For us, learning in a community means: approaching one another, walking together and living together.

  • Learn instead of teaching

    "The child understands through their own activity by adopting the culture from their environment and not from the teacher." (Maria Montessori)

  • Open spaces and structures

    Forms of learning

  • Discover and accompany

    Students are not created equal and do not learn in the same way.

  • Performance evaluation and discussions with parents

    At the end of each semester, the children receive an assessment of their level of learning and development.

  • Movement and self awareness

    There is a close connection between movement and the child's mental development. Movement is part of the holistic development of children and is integrated into the daily school routine at our school, so that learning and experiencing through movement and sensory perception become a matter of course.

  • Create works, leave traces

    Children create their own works, set their own mark, leave their own traces - on the playground in front of the school building, in the hallways, in rooms they have designed, in words or pictures, in the hearts of others.

  • Democracy and responsibility

    The success of a school requires the participation, participation and the conscious assumption of responsibility by students, educators, the sponsor, parents, friends and sponsors.

  • Annual cycle, community and rituals

    The Christian annual circle structures the entire school year. From the annual cycle, there are festive highlights that are taken up as teaching topics and designed and celebrated as school services in close cooperation with students, educators and parents. In weekly discussion groups, the teachers address faith in the classroom. Reasons for this are current events, religious questions or a corresponding concern of the children.

Orientation towards these principles enables us to see every child in their uniqueness and to support them in their school and social development.
The guiding principles are the core of our educational concept. You can see the entire educational concept of the Benjamin School for yourself
