The relatively small size of our school leads to the greatest possible transparency in all educational processes. The teaching efficiency is supported by small classes and a number of lessons in core subjects, which goes beyond the standard defined by the state's curiculum. We try to develop our students' social competence inside and outside the classroom and give them the best possible support, starting with supervised homework and ending with a large variety of vocational orientation activities.

Student-centered teaching is preferred to a teacher-centered approach. Thus, the individual learner is in focus, taking the active part inside the classroom. As a strong emphasis is put on activity based teaching, the students are permanently encouraged to participate actively. Examples of this kind of teaching methods are inquiry-based learning, open classes, free work, project work, future workshops, simulation games and learning by teaching. In either case, the students are guided towards building and experiencing new knowledge at the same time.

In a quiet location on Lake Ammersee we lead students on an individual path to the Bavarian Abitur. Small classes and motivating learning concepts are the basis of an excellent school education. The orientation towards linguistics and economics is a daily practice due to its internationality. Numerous workshops promote personal talents.
We impart a responsible attitude: that of the “Landheim-Entrepreneur”. What is the most important a boarding school can give its students for their way through life? We believe: An attitude. Inner peace. And optimism. Children become young personalities with a strong sense of community, empathy and resource-mindedness. They will experience inner peace and assume responsibility and learn to make decisions: For themselves and their environment, for organizing and planning, for the environment and economic efficiency, for companies and enterprises. A model of tomorrow.
