means that you are able to escape your autodidactic solitude and get together with other people who are interested in similar topics (including but not limited to school based topics). Exchanging your ideas and thoughts with others helps to develop a whole range of abilities and is especially useful when it comes to reflecting on knowledge.

working conditions are essential to us, because then everyone simply has more fun. Our learning methods foster visual thinking and promote the development of a personal learning style. Under these conditions learning becomes visible and individual creative expression is made possible. Practical learning tools will be an integral part of every class and will be explored in more depth during workshops.

means that you get to learn whatever it is that you want to learn. Learning is omnipresent, but it's particularly efficient when motivation is on hand. This motivation can have an external root – preparing for an exam – or it can be intrinsic - „I've always wanted to know how to build my own website/ how big the universe really is.“ No matter which skills or information you wish to acquire, you'll get an opportunity to do it your way.

in Math, Science, English and German for all learners from the 7^th grade up.

Guided learning is our school-based offer. Regular mixed-age groups of max. 7 learners get together weekly to work on content from school in a playful and active 

learning environment. The focus isn't solely on improving grades, but also on guiding the individual learning process.

Our learning guides come from various 

disciplines and are all experts in their fields. They also bring a lot of world experience, and are involved in numerous activities in
and outside of Berlin. These experiences enrich the guided learning.
