The school emphasizes learning about different cultures and languages taught by native speakers. Students celebrate international events and share their backgrounds in a community that values respect and inclusion.
The school is located in a quiet area near Lake Constance and is accessible by car or train from nearby cities. The campus is extensive, so moving between buildings and facilities takes some time to navigate.
