As a primary school and integrated general and vocational secondary school, many teachers in the school teach both primary-age children and youngsters at secondary school level all the way up to grade 10 in both school types in accordance with the required areas of competence and education standards of vocational and general secondary schools.
The school has won numerous awards: in 2007 it was not only named the best school offering the opportunity to obtain a certificate in secondary education, but has also been one of Germany’s top ten schools and in the top ten in Hessen several times up to 2015. For its educational approach as well – giving top priority to the development of a strong personality alongside strengthening the general basic elements of solid education – the school has won numerous awards, as well the special prize in the German teaching awards.
Vocational guidance has been a priority at Emsbachtal School for almost two decades. In order to achieve a good or very good school-leaving certificate, each student receives the support required in order to be well prepared to make the right personal choice of career and decide on their further professional development.
