PbG - Private bilinguale Ganztagsschule
Welcome to the website of the PbG!
Our children are born with a natural passion for learning. It is this passion that drives them to walk and talk and acquire all the other skills and abilities that make us human. Every school should endeavor to encourage and develop this passion.
That this endeavor is not always successful is something I have learned from my own experience. For over 30 years I have taught at a combined elementary/secondary school (Hauptschule) in Hesse, and my experience has inspired me to introduce something new to our school system. This is why I have founded the PbG – Private Bilingual All-day School in Wiesbaden.
At our school, children not only learn the subject matter – they learn to learn. We teach the children facts, skills and methods for finding, preparing and presenting information in a way that stays with them beyond school. Furthermore, the children learn important social skills such as responsibility, team spirit, and the ability to communicate and to deal with conflict.
PbG’s educational concept goes beyond tried and tested educational techniques and incorporates new methods of teaching and learning based on findings of the latest brain research on learning. All these elements have already been successfully integrated in schools, even in Germany. The heart of our concept lies in the ideal student-teacher ratio of 9 to 1. This enables us to effectively focus our attention on each student, taking their personal qualifications and situation into account. This creates an atmosphere in which children preserve their passion for learning and experience a wonderful and successful time at school.
The education of our children is my greatest concern. This is why the PbG, while being a private school, is a non-profit limited liability company, whose mission it is to enable as many children as possible to attend the PbG, regardless of their social or geographical background. To fulfill this mission we need support!
We look forward to creating a new school for Wiesbaden with your cooperation.
