Aim
The aim of this course is a long-term preparation for the entrance exam to Langgymnasium. The longer time horizon gives the teachers the opportunity to lay a good foundation in all areas relevant to the exam and to work with the students individually on their gaps.
The course is also particularly suitable for children with language challenges (e.g., DAZ/DAF).
