Primary and secondary schools, which offer classes from the first to the ninth grade, are the most frequent school types amongst the SOS Hermann Gmeiner Schools.
Syllabus oriented towards local and regional job prospects
In order to learn a trade and increase one's chances on the labour market, SOS Vocational Training Centres offer courses and apprenticeships in trades, industries and various service branches. What is taught is strongly orientated towards the local and regional job prospects. For example car mechanics, carpentry, printing, plumbing, electrical engineering, home economics, commerce, agriculture, and information technology.
Child-centred education is key for success
We believe in child-centred education which respects the individual child as a resourceful, capable, unique human being who actively participates in her/his own development process and respects diverse learning styles and learning needs. Teachers and principals are the key to child-centred quality education and are actively encouraged to further their professional skills.
