Our school

The Schönau Upper School is an inclusive school in a lively, diverse neighbourhood. Diversity is our strength. Intercultural awareness, mutual respect, and sustainable relationships shape our everyday school life.

Classes 1c and 1d are run in a mixed-ability model: roughly half of the pupils are assigned to the Realschule and the other half to the Sekundarstufe. Our model is permeable and consistently differentiated internally. This allows us to create learning opportunities that meet different prerequisites and enable development.

We understand school as a shared space for shaping. Innovative educational projects, inclusive learning forms, and a pedagogy that recognises and strengthens potential are naturally part of what we do.

You fit with us if

• You enjoy working in a team and actively contribute
• You manage clear, appreciative class leadership well
• You take pleasure in differentiated and inclusive teaching
• You can specifically support young people with different learning prerequisites
• You see diversity as an opportunity and act with intercultural sensitivity
• You are open to innovative educational projects
• You value a school culture where mutual support is truly lived

What to expect from us

You will become part of a closely collaborating year group team. Teaching materials are developed together, assessment criteria are coordinated, and challenges are shared within the team.

With us, you will find an established culture of collaboration characterised by mutual support and respectful interaction. You will benefit from committed professional and personal support as well as jointly prepared teaching materials and coordinated assessment bases. At the same time, we offer you space for your own ideas and innovative teaching projects. Our dedicated team takes responsibility together and shapes everyday school life in partnership. A diverse student body ensures a rewarding and varied working environment. Additionally, you will be supported during eight lessons per week by team teaching with the school’s special education teacher, ensuring close collaboration and optimal support for the pupils.
