About this project

Andrea Tichy from Schule des Lebens Potsdam is responsible for this project
Teaching future skills:
The PISA results clearly show that conventional mainstream schools are not fulfilling their educational mission. We see ourselves as pioneers of future-oriented education and actively and creatively meet the challenges of an ever faster developing world.

Our focus is on teaching future skills such as the ability to acquire knowledge independently, dealing with new technologies (digitalization and AI), financial intelligence, awareness of sustainability, learning by doing and trying things out, mental flexibility and creativity, perseverance and patience.

In addition to teaching the traditional subjects, we achieve this by offering a wide range of inspiring project groups such as: Computer Science, student podcast, book club, electrical engineering, pottery, wood workshop, forest days and much more.

Our vision:
Our school was founded in summer 2018 and is a place for free development and learning. The focus here is on the open-hearted curiosity and natural urge to develop that are inherent in every child from birth. We want to give space to this intrinsic motivation and create a place where the individual talents of each child are supported in the best possible way.

We are a school with an after-school care center with currently 57 children between the ages of 6 and 16. In April 2023, we fulfilled our dream of a building and grounds in the middle of nature in Kloster Lehnin in the beautiful state of Brandenburg. The school building, which we converted with our own resources, finally offers us the opportunity to raise the learning opportunities for the children to a new level, combined with nature as another place of learning for endless discovery and exploration.

An integral part of our concept is the ratio of a maximum of 8 children to one teacher. The small groups allow for trusting cooperation and a completely different way of learning than is possible in large groups.

Your donation makes a difference:
Your financial support is crucial to ensure that the children receive the best possible support and encouragement. With monthly donations of € 10,000, we can ensure that our school remains a place of innovative learning and forward-looking education. Our reserves have been used up by the renovation of the school building and we are repaying the loan secured by the school community for the first few years.

Together we are shaping the education of the future!
Become a sponsor of our school and support a model school of the future. Get in touch with us and get to know us and our school! We look forward to giving you an insight into our everyday school life and inspiring you.
