Each child has his or her own interests and abilities. For this reason, the Phorms concept is aligned towards the individual development of each child. A high care ratio, all-day teaching, inter-disciplinary team and project work, creative learning methods and exciting afternoon activities provide the scope for individual talents to develop.

In addition to this, the teachers foster and support individual children by providing regular small-group teaching within lessons. This is intended to support children who need to catch up in a core subject such as English, reading, writing or arithmetic. The assistance provided to children with learning difficulties also enriches teaching within the class community by delivering better integration and motivation for all children.

Interview, trial days, test

Nursery: parent interview.

Primary school: trial days and testing. During the testing for grade 1, the children solve age-appropriate tasks and play with other children of the same age whilst being supervised by some of the year 1 teachers. If applying for a school place in a higher grade, the child will visit the respective class for three to five trial days and participate in the regular school day. Parallel to the trial days the parents have an interview with the head of primary school about the family, the aims for their child and a possible cooperation with the school.

Secondary school: PBM invites the child for an admission test in the key subjects (English, Math, German) and an interview with the head of secondary school and/or PBM organizes trial days in the respective class.

PBM allows each child to be different PBM fosters individual talents and interests to enable its students to remain self-confident and inquisitive.
PBM is a community. The school learns together and shows one another respect and does so within a whole-day school environment.

The children learn the two languages according to the so-called immersion method. Each pedagogue speaks exclusively in his or her native language of either English or German.
Phorms Education does not merely see school as a place of learning. Phorms schools are a living environment. The whole-day community enables the children to learn about life and how to share as well as teaching them to represent their own interests and prove their abilities.
