Louisenlund - Lernen, Leisten, Leben


Primary School Louisenlund – optimal learning environment for the youngest of children.

The privately funded primary school, with all day supervision, awakes children’s curiosity and interest in learning. Louisenlund, from primary school through to graduation (IB or Abitur), offers the opportunity for children to benefit from one pedagogical concept for their entire school career.

The Primary School is situated in beautiful surroundings on the banks of the Schlei fjord, between Schleswig and Eckernfoerde. In some of the most attractive countryside in Schleswig-Holstein, children learn the basic skills of reading, writing and Mathematics, as well as developing their natural creativity in the Arts and Music. From Year 1 onwards emphasis is laid on the STEM, with a particular focus on Science, Technology and Mathematics.

OUR PEDAGOGICAL CONCEPTION – UNIQUE IN GERMANY

Louisenlund’s pedagogical concept allows children individualised, independent learning with room to develop the skills of research and discovery. Academic staff function as “coaches”, working side by side with the children as they make their own discoveries. The pedagogical concept is based on the ideas of Maria Montessori and Kurt Hahn, combined with the most recent findings of educational research studies. The ideas of the nationwide foundation “Haus der Kleinen Forscher” (Young Scientists) play an important role in the children’s learning. Staff are continually looking for ways to encourage children’s natural curiosity and to integrate this into the curriculum.

The Primary School Louisenlund develops personality and nurtures talent. Activity-orientated and experience-based learning form the basis of our learning and teaching aims, with the children themselves at the centre of the process.

The most valuable thing we can give our children is successful start in life.
