Albisbrunn is a place for young people who are completing their school education, undertaking vocational training, and wish to shape their future step by step. We accompany them on this path with reliability, guidance, and trust.

Every admission begins with a thorough assessment. Together with the young people, their reference persons, and the referring agencies, we examine whether Albisbrunn can provide the appropriate framework for successful personal, educational, and professional development.

Our admission process

Telephone conversation

By calling or returning a call, you can describe the young person’s situation to us and we will clarify together whether our offer matches the young person’s needs.

Initial interview

Get to know Albisbrunn. Depending on the possibilities and dynamics, the young person is offered a non-binding trial period. After the initial interview, we send out a trial period programme. The most important administrative data is already collected during the phone call. The rest is completed by us during the initial interview.

Trial period

During a two-week non-binding trial period, the young person finds out whether we are a good fit. We find out whether we have the right professional answers to the young person’s developmental issues. The two documents "Confidentiality" and "Effects/UP" can be brought at entry. The most important professional reports have been received by us.

Effects/UP

Confidentiality

Evaluation with seamless continuation

At the end of the trial period, an evaluation interview takes place. If there is mutual compatibility, admission is granted retroactively from the start of the trial period with seamless continuation. Goals are set and data administration is completed.

In daily work, Albisbrunn combines care, respect, understanding, and encouragement towards the young people with regard to values and framework conditions. Albisbrunn is denominationally and politically neutral. The foundation’s purpose determines the view of humanity and actions based on scientific findings and current educational practice.
