Our elementary school encompasses grades 1-4. The structure and organization is very similar to elementary schools in Germany. Lessons go from 8am to 2.30pm (Thursdays: 1.40pm). Teaching content is based on German curricula. In addition, and as per our school license agreement with the Kurdish Ministry of Education, we teach a few subjects in Kurdish (Kurdish language, religion, social studies) and Arabic (language).

 

Our curriculum in elementary school consists of the following subjects:

German

5 lessons per week

German (supplement)

2 lessons per week

Math

5 lessons per week

Natural sciences

3 lessons per week

Kurdish (language)

5 lessons per week (grade 4: 3)

English

3 lessons per week

Arabic (starting in grade 4)

2 lessons per week

Art

2 lessons per week

Music

2 lessons per week

Religion

1 lesson per week

Social studies (starting in grade 4)

Children with limited German language skills receive additional support. During the school year we celebrate both German and Kurdish holdiays.

Are you moving / returning to Kurdistan? Changing over to our school from any elementary school in Germany (or a school in which German was a primary language of instruction) is in most cases possible at any time.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our administration for an appointment.
