Dabei legen wir großen Wert darauf, jedem Kind die bestmögliche Unterstützung zu bieten und es auf zukünftige Herausforderungen vorzubereiten.

Unser Schullogo, der Löwe, symbolisiert Mut, Stärke und Widerstandskraft – Werte, die wir in unseren Schülerinnen und Schülern fördern möchten, um sie zu befähigen, ihr Leben selbstbewusst zu gestalten.
