About the school
1. Everybody can learn here.
2. We will find a learning path for everybody who wants to learn or teach.
3. We can not run this school without parents.
4. You have to follow and understand our values.
5. Grades do not define you as a pupil or as a teacher.
6. You have to be open for
surprises and recognition.
7. We are honest!
