The school emphasizes individual support through a team of pedagogical staff, including social pedagogues and school psychologists. Each class is led by a tandem of a class teacher and a social pedagogue to ensure personal guidance. Additional support is provided for students in challenging situations through intensive care and tailored promotion programs.
