The Oscar Paret School with its around 1,500 pupils and 150 teachers would like to help and create the right framework.
The Oscar Paret School combines the departments of high school, junior high school and community school under one roof. This applies “separately where necessary”, in class, according to the respective talents and interests and “united where possible”, in working groups, student responsibility, sporting and cultural events and all other forms of school life. The Oscar Paret School sees itself as a school in which living together for all students, regardless of their affiliation to one of the three school types, always takes place in the community. We see this diversity as an opportunity for our students to develop a self-reliant, socially competent personality in a democratic, tolerant and social society.
Essential principles apply to us in order to encourage the students:
- LEARNING WITH CURIOSITY – Encouraging creative and critical questions and learning to acquire knowledge with different learning methods.
- CRITICAL EXAMINATION – a reflective examination of different claims leads to intellectual incorruptibility and enables orientation.
- UNDERSTANDING AND LEARNING HISTORICAL CONTEXTS – in order to gain knowledge of the diversity of the unknown or foreign and to enable an understanding of the many possibilities of life.
- AFFINITY FOR LITERATURE – as a transfer of knowledge but also as a connecting element to an inner discussion and personal development.
- SELF REFLECTION FOR FUTURE DESIGNS – to find conscious and self-determined doing, wanting and acting.
- EMPATHY THROUGH EDUCATION – learning to understand one’s own cultural identity and thus real respect for different ways of life.
- JOY IN THE BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORLD AND THE COMMUNITY.
- AWARENESS FOR DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS – so that an appreciative and respectful approach can be lived in everyday life.
