The Erasmus primary school's MISSION IS TO PROVIDE CHILDREN WITH A place to play, learn and develop.

The measurable academic performance of pupils is important. That is why we voluntarily participate in the standardised tests offered by the Hessian Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs, in which our pupils perform very well. However, we place the same importance on the development of our pupils’ personalities as individuals. It is of extreme importance to us that the children attending our school benefit from a wide range of diverse opportunities for individual enrichment and our team school approach, thus experiencing cultural diversity and learning and learning to assume responsibility for the world they live in.

In this day and age, a really good school has to be open to more than just teachers and children.

Our parents are involved in school life, such as in the running of our school library, which enables them to identify with the place where their children learn and live on a daily basis. Our various afternoon programmes offered through external partners, like yoga for children, lead to an inspiring interaction with the community outside our school grounds. Our sense of community is strengthened further by the fact that our pupils are required to wear a school uniform.

Parents learn BEST what is good for their children when they participate in parental work at school.

We experience the Erasmus school as a vibrant community that is not only open to collaborating with external partners but actively seeks it. Parental work has always been a part of our school. Parents see this not as an obligation, but as an opportunity to get to know their children's school life at first hand and to actively help form it. It is a chance to exchange ideas and even make friends. Many parents implement their professional expertise and contribute individually and in a multitude of ways to making our school unique and vibrant. Members of the parents' association of the Erasmus school function as intermediaries between the parents, the school and our sponsor, taking on communicative and other significant responsibilities.

Our Golden Rules were jointly developed by teachers, parents, the school administration and the children.

Communities work well when everyone knows and plays by the rules. For children this is a key learning process, which helps them to develop their personalities within the context of the group. That is why we have created our Golden Rules, a contract which instils an awareness of responsibility and a positive attitude in our daily school routine.
