Primary Years: student learning does not stop when children go home for the day. There is an age-appropriate amount of reading that should be done on a daily basis. This reading can be done in English and/or the student's mother tongue.

Middle Years: students are expected to do homework if a required task is not completed during the lesson at school. Students can also complete assigned work during their study hall sessions scheduled twice per week, at the homework club on Monday-Thursday from 3:15-4pm and/or in a subject tutorial at the teacher’s discretion.

Diploma Programme: students should expect to do 2-3 hours of homework per night. This will need to become a habit which is supported within the family home.

Learning Support

Strothoff is committed to an inclusive learning environment. The majority of the learning needs of its students are met by class teachers through differentiation. However, at certain stages some students may need specific intervention to help them achieve their potential. The Learning Support team works collaboratively with teachers, parents and outside agencies to support students with learning needs to learn strategies and skills to help them succeed. Strothoff's level of support ranges from incorporating learning strategies into the classroom to in-class support and, where appropriate, small group intervention. Strothoff is able to support students in developing their academic, social and self-management skills.

At our IB World School with integrated Hessian Curriculum, children and young people experience modern teaching in a friendly, international community. From kindergarten to graduation, we accompany them on one campus and promote project-based and team-oriented learning. This enables them to discover new things, think critically and develop the ability to actively shape the world in a responsible manner.

Our kindergarten provides a loving environment for 50 children to discover the world through play and develop important skills for the future. With a focus on creative development, social interaction and intercultural competence, we prepare our youngest children for a lifelong journey of learning in an atmosphere of trust and support.

In our reception class, we accompany children aged five and above on their journey from playful learning to their first school structures. Our teachers work with a great deal of heart, patience and experience. As part of the primary school, the reception class is optimally tailored to the curriculum and the school environment. The children gain their first learning experiences in reading, writing and arithmetic without sacrificing creative freedom.

The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is an internationally established educational concept for children aged 6 to 12. What makes Strothoff International School special is that these first years of primary school are also state-approved and we integrate the content of the Hessian education plan into the international programme.

The Middle Years Programme (MYP) educates our students to become creative, critical and reflective thinkers. It promotes the development of communication skills, intercultural understanding and global engagement. The comprehensive method is called Project Based Learning, through which your child learns to ask interdisciplinary questions and solve problems in creative ways.

Our DP is an internationally renowned educational programme for students in Years 11 and 12. It focuses on a holistic approach that combines academic excellence with personal maturity. The diploma is recognised by universities worldwide. Our graduates leave the DP not only with excellent subject knowledge, but also with a clear understanding of values, a global perspective and the ability to take responsibility for themselves and others.

Recognizing its responsibility to prepare students for global citizenship, Strothoff's mission is to provide them with an international education which seeks to develop their full potential and to foster understanding, respect for others, freedom of thought and expression, enjoyment of learning and personal responsibility.
