PARENT-INFO GERMAN PROGRAMME

Last Thursday, the parents of this year’s lateral entrant students came to join an informative evening in the new Villa H. The Lateral Entrants’ Programme allows students of non-German mother tongue to enter the classes at the IGS through a special support program. Since close cooperation with parents is essential for successful integration, members of the extended school management, as well as Teachers of German as a Foreign Language and other subject teachers, offered various informational sessions to make the school organization and the Lateral Entrants’ Programme transparent to the visitors.

After some tea and cookies and a brief welcome address, divided into language groups the parents went into the first room which was prepared for them. A gong initiated the change to the next room for the following subject.

During informative discussions, walkabouts, and presentations, the parents received information on topics such as certificates and grades, curricula, the procedure of the Lateral Entrants’ Programme and the pursued school exit certificate, the IB Diploma Programme.

Of course, questions were always welcome, but there was still time at the end of the event for general inquiries and face-to-face discussions.
We thank all attendees for their participation and the lively exchange.
