This year’s summer fair at accadis International School Bad Homburg was not only a joyous community event but also a celebration of a significant milestone: 20 years of delivering high-quality, international education. Organized by the Parent Teacher Association (PTA), the event provided a variety of activities and entertainment for the whole family.20 Years – Reflecting on Key Milestones
“We are proud to celebrate 20 years of accadis International School,” says Gerda Meinl-Kexel, Founder and Managing Partner. “During this time, we have established two Preschools, built the Elementary and Secondary Schools, and introduced the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Our vision of a school distinguished by excellent bilingual education and a strong sense of community has become a reality.”
To mark the occasion, the founding family invited guests for a celebratory toast, reminiscing about the school’s history. Dr. Stefan Wolkenfeld, Head of Secondary School, added an element of fun with a picture quiz highlighting the key moments of the past two decades.
A Festive Program for All Ages
The summer fair delighted younger attendees with activities such as bouncy castles, air hockey, and creative crafting. The audience was also captivated by art exhibitions and theater performances from the Elementary School classes. Dedicated parents ensured everyone was well-fed, organizing a food truck and an ice cream van.
“Our parents’ commitment is exceptional and makes these events possible,” emphasizes Dr. Nicole Pfeiffer, Administrative Deputy Head. “This level of support reflects the remarkable sense of community within our school.”
Sustainability at the Core of accadis Bildung
The neighboring accadis Hochschule also contributed to the event under the motto “#accadisgoesgreen.” The university’s sustainability team raised funds for the accadis Educational Forest (accadis Bildungswald) and organized eco-friendly crafting activities for children. Prof. Christoph Kexel highlighted the value of this collaboration: “The interaction between students from accadis Hochschule and accadis ISB demonstrates the power of shared learning experiences.”
A Year Full of Commitment and Community, and Excitement for the Next School Year
Siniša Margetić, PTA Chairperson, expressed satisfaction with the past school year: “It’s inspiring to see the many initiatives we’ve accomplished together – from author readings to the spring concert. We look forward to continuing this momentum into the new school year and welcoming new members to our vibrant community.”
