Specialist help within a defined range

Certified learning specialists support pupils with mild learning difficulties. Services can include reteaching, skill development, classroom support and coordination with other professionals. The admissions committee checks whether school resources can meet the child’s needs. An advertised support department does not mean every application can be accepted; share assessments and agree provision early.

Röthelheimpark and senior rooms across the street

The Erlangen campus is in Röthelheimpark. Most departments use the main building, while MYP 4–5 and Diploma classes are across the street. Grounds include playgrounds, courtyards and a sports field. Teaching spaces support art, practical work and technology. A visit should cover the building for the child’s actual stage, especially for older entrants.
