The affiliated primary school at the PH Tirol is a place full of life, learning and encounters. Around 180 children and over 40 teachers and staff work together with students, parents, guardians and project partners to create an open space for dialogue. Our school is a vibrant community where diversity is not only welcome but consciously embraced. Children from a wide variety of backgrounds experience appreciation, encouragement and challenge as well as cohesion.

As a model and research school, we combine educational tradition with the latest scientific findings. For us, learning and teaching means focusing on the curiosity and interests of the children and building on their individual strengths. This creates a learning environment that enables children to develop their potential and take responsibility for their own learning with joy.

In close cooperation with the PH Tirol, we develop and test innovative projects that rethink school – such as the project- and action-oriented FreiDay learning concept, which gives children space to pursue and implement their own ideas and questions about the future.

The learning studios are a particular treasure of our school. Here, children from different classes meet in mixed-age small groups to discover topics such as programming, philosophy, research or yoga together. These forms of learning open up new horizons, promote creativity and strengthen the joy of doing things together.

Numerous awards demonstrate that our approach is effective and that we implement sustainability in a wide variety of areas: from ‘Healthy School’ and the ‘Gold Sports Seal of Approval’ to the ‘Reading Seal of Approval’ and the ‘MINT Seal of Approval’. As an ÖKOLOG and Climate Alliance school, we live up to our responsibility for a sustainable future – day by day, step by step.

For us, living sustainability means: ‘What we learn with joy and do with conviction, we never forget.’
