Boarding with Individual and qualified support (24/7)

Our experienced boarding school managers & social educators ensure optimal support focused on each individual student. This includes a qualified all-day care concept with structured routines, three meals a day and accommodation in modern single rooms (no extra charge)

  • Boarding school with ‘professional’ supervision
  • Three meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner)
  • Single rooms in small supervised apartments (3-5 persons)
  • One group room and one common kitchen per apartment
  • Joint excursions and group events
  • Short distances to the campus of the International School OWL

Traditional degrees such as the German Abitur, Junior-High or similar degrees often limit their students’ and future graduates’ focus. As part of the Edexcel International Advanced Level programme (IAL) we offer students highly focused and modern education programmes – suiteted to “GLOBAL THINKERS”.
