Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Reviews

I was at the AvH in the mathematical science class from 2010 to 2014. The secondary school activities like the AvH concert were great, the atmosphere very busy. The teaching staff is very mixed, there is a lot of commitment, especially among the younger teachers (under 50) and the lessons there were also fun. Unfortunately, this was made up for by some older teachers who actively put students under stress and sometimes put them down when they do not understand something directly or have problems with the material. Two girls were bullied out of my class and, at least in my understanding, my class teacher didn't do anything about it and handed the task over to the other 13-14 year olds. The demands are above average and I have the feeling that everything was always conveyed in a very 'academic' way that not everyone picked up. I personally would recommend this school only to a very limited extent, because even though I am currently studying in the scientific field, it feels less stressful than my school time at the AvH.

here i got really depressed 0/5 would not recommend

Individual teachers determine which children do not fit into the profile and are mated with blessing from the top, At the beginning of the school year, these teachers already determine who has to leave the "great gymnasium" at the end of the school year.

A former teacher from this school once said to us that if you want your child to have no free time, no time for hobbies and no weekends, bring your child to this school. How right she was !!!

Very incapable of communication and questionable views of some teachers about especially secondary school pupils. The school management is very distant from the pupils and the punishments for minor things are an oral warning (or verbal reprimand) and for worse things it is also an oral warning . The technology is outdated and no longer reasonable.

At least a few years ago, bullying was the order of the day at this school and the teachers did nothing about it. This school was so incredibly backbone, I can't imagine that anything has changed that great.
