Geography at our school offers pupils a varied and practical experience in understanding the world around them. Our teaching is based on the core curriculum of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and is characterized by an integrative approach that takes into account the diversity of the students.
A central focus is on the variety of methods that enable students to develop different approaches to geographical issues. We encourage independent thinking, critical analysis of information and the application of knowledge in real-life contexts. Modern media are also used to equip students for the digital world.
Social learning is another important aspect of our geography lessons. We emphasize that students learn how to take responsibility as part of a global community. Through group work, discussions and project-based approaches, we encourage collaboration and the exchange of ideas.
The focus of geography lessons covers a wide range of topics. These include the study of climate and the environment, the analysis of population structures and developments, the investigation of economic processes and structures at a local and global level and the examination of social and political issues. The spatial perspective is also emphasized in order to convey a comprehensive understanding of geography.
Overall, geography lessons at our comprehensive school offer an appealing mix of theory and practice, promote the individual strengths of the pupils and prepare them to actively participate in shaping the world.
