Sono molto grato di aver potuto frequentare l'Istituto Beatenberg per sei anni. Questa volta ha avuto un profondo impatto su di me, non solo a livello accademico ma anche personale. Lì ho stretto amicizie preziose, ho imparato moltissimo e ho vissuto esperienze indimenticabili. L'istituto è stato per me come una seconda casa e non dimenticherò mai i momenti condivisi, le escursioni e lo stare insieme. Grazie per tutto!
Un anno scolastico assolutamente positivo per nostro figlio! Dopo due anni frustranti trascorsi in una scuola secondaria statale, abbiamo trovato il Beatenberg Institute. Già la prima visita è stata impressionante, sia per quanto riguarda la location che per l'intero team. Abbiamo ricevuto consigli amichevoli e rilassati e a nostro figlio è stata offerta una settimana di prova. Dopo questa settimana, era chiaro a tutti noi che questo era il posto giusto! TUTTO il personale del Beatenberg Institute è dedicato, amichevole, solidale, sinceramente interessato al benessere dei bambini e, ultimo ma non meno importante, molto divertente. Grazie!!! Altamente raccomandato!!!!!
As part of an excursion week, we, as participants in the European Seminar Gießen, visited innovative educational institutions in Switzerland. We were particularly impressed by the Beatenberg Institute, which captivated us with its outstanding pedagogical and didactic concept. We would also like to emphasize the friendliness, high level of competence, and warm personality of the staff. These impressions align with our vision of a contemporary school in the 21st century. Furthermore, the learning tasks developed at the Beatenberg Institute sparked our curiosity and inspire us to rethink and enrich our own teaching practices.
We are deeply grateful that our boys were able to attend this boarding school (between 2018 and 2023). They learned many essential life skills there: personal responsibility, constructive conflict resolution, and organizational skills. Crucial to this was the close relationship with their personal coach, as well as the overall positive atmosphere at the school. Both successfully transitioned from the Beatenberg Institute to apprenticeships or secondary school after their time there.
At first, I didn't want to go to school there for long, but in the end, I often wished it would stay that way forever. The air of the Bernese mountains is just right for a young person's experience, even if the agricultural landscape sometimes spoils this idyllic setting. You can admire the beautiful mountain scenery directly from the school building. The Beatenberg Institute is an excellent academic setting for becoming independent and ready for an apprenticeship. All "homework" is done during the week at the institute. If you have questions or concerns, you can see your own coach or ask other teachers for help. The institute also offers a wide range of leisure activities. There's almost always something going on in the evenings. This can range from a small tournament to a short excursion. Students are also allowed to help with the planning. I spent a total of 2.5 years at the Beatenberg Institute, and my experience was very positive; I highly recommend it.
