Schule Schloss Salem

Since 100 years Schule Schloss Salem, Germany‘s largest and internationally best-known boarding school, has set itself high standards for building character. The children and adolescents who come to us from over 40 nations are offered a continuous variety of challenges: academically in either the German Abitur system or the International Baccalaureate programme; physically in sports and outdoor activities; and artistically in creative projects, in theater, music, and dance. Along with the knowledge and skills they acquire in all their pursuits, three pedagogical building blocks are of particular importance: the adventures provided with ageappropriate experiential pedagogy; learning situations that rely on the holistic interaction of mind, heart and hand; and long-term engagement in emergency aid or social service groups. Schule Schloss Salem employs over 250 staff members, half of whom are teachers; the other half employed in the areas of housekeeping, technical services and administration. As a state-recognised grammar school for grades 5 - 12, we offer places for up to 600 boarding students wishing to study for either the Abitur or International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. With its attractive location in the four-country district of Lake Constance, as well as its internationality, Salem is a uniquely attractive place of work for all those committed to their work and who enjoy being involved with young people. Since Salem as a business is identical with Salem as a boarding school, there are numerous points of contact between the educational and the service and administration sections. Staff members housekeeping, technical services and administration also contribute their personal skills and abilities to the pedagogical mission of the school - whether, for example, in the cooking or joinery guilds, the students' emergency services activities or during Outward Bound excursions Learn more:
