And what do you want to be when you grow up? Many children and young people react hesitantly to this question. The reasons are moderate success at school, motivational difficulties or a lack of self-confidence. And so the morning walk to school means enormous stress not only for the children, but also for the parents. It is not uncommon for family life to suffer from the “zero buck” attitude. Gundula Kohlhaas explains in an interview how your children are encouraged at the International School of Schaffhausen, develop a love of learning and make plans for a successful future.
It is often difficult for parents to understand why their own children seem to be left behind at school or are unable to keep up with the pace set. Gundula Kohlhaas knows how parents feel whose children avoid the subject of school, even though they are obviously intelligent. “Often children have given up and are frustrated because they are not succeeding in school or because they don’t have a good relationship with their classmates or the teacher,” the principal explains.
High giftedness, dyslexia or dyscalculia, hyperactivity or attention deficit disorder can also make for mixed performance in school when intelligence is high. ISSH addresses these individual challenges to set the stage for a successful future. Why your child has difficulties in school is of secondary importance to the dedicated educators. Every child has talents and strengths that need to be discovered. The experienced teachers focus on building a strong and positive relationship so that success and progress can soon be achieved through joint and motivated work. “This provides an upward trend and poor and low achieving students become eager and committed class members.
Be unique – achieve your potential – take responsibility. This is the guiding principle of the International School of Schaffhausen. For the students, this means above all that they experience a strong community and find recognition. Instead of being laughed at and teased, your children will be encouraged and supported by us.
