ESC @ Nasch - Nachbarschaftsschule (after school care)
Description
The "NaSch family" is non-profit organization for the after school care center and nursery. Since the beginning of 1999, the community of the neighborhood school has been in free ownership of the initiative "Nachbarschaftsschule Leipzig eV". The idea of a kindergarten was developed in 2002 with the decision of the association to take over Odermann houses and expand it for the after school care center.
Teachers and parents founded the Neighborhood School (NaSch) with the idea of creating a school, which opens up inside and outside. We support the individual strengths and talents of the kids as possible. To realize this, we use approved reform-educational forms of organization and methods. Within the educational and educational mission, it is particularly important for us to develop values and to live them - values such as the joy of learning, democracy and conflict management, freedom from violence and a willingness to take responsibility for themselves and others. The NaSch community sees itself as a part and model of a democratic society. Our school is a place of social learning, firmly anchored in the Leipzig district of Lindenau. School, nursery, after school care center and neighborhood are partners who work together transparently and for mutual benefit. The ESC volunteers will not work in the school, they are in the after school care / day nursery.
