The IB Learning Suite was remodeled for after-school care for students from the neighboring Grundschule Eschbachtal. Thanks to the move of the accadis Secondary School into the new school building, space has become available that is now put to good use for the children of the local Elementary School, which lacks space for the care of students after the end of the school day.
Cooperation between city of Bad Homburg and accadis ISB
The increasing demand for after-school care exceeded the available capacity of the Elementary School in Ober-Eschbach and set a challenge for the responsible department: too much demand and too little space.
Thanks to the good networking between the city and accadis, Managing Partner Prof. Christoph Kexel learned about the lack of space. He offered to accommodate the children in the empty rooms of the former IB Learning Suite. No sooner said than done: during the summer vacations the premises have been remodeled and set up for the after-school care. On 4 September, the Elementary School students were picked up in Eschbachtal for the first time and accompanied to the SÜDCAMPUS, which is about a fifteen minute walk.
“It is good to see the premises in good use again”, says Prof. Christoph Kexel. "The concept is to offer the children a balanced mix of learning, playing and relaxing, while at the same time providing parents with reliable, high-quality care."
Lunch and after-school care until 17:00 hrs
The children are picked up by accadis employees in Eschbachtal after school and accompanied to accadis International School, where they have lunch in the cafeteria. After lunch, the Elementary School students go to the remodeled premises, where they are supervised by qualified educators until 17:00 hrs.
They get homework support and are accompanied in a wide variety of activities. Whether painting, handicrafts, playing, romping, reading - the remodeled Learning Suite has a lot to offer.
Capacities and registration
Currently, after-school care can be provided for up to 30 children from the Grundschule Eschbachtal. If necessary, a second group with capacity also for up to 30 children can be opened.
Interested parents of the Grundschule Im Eschbachtal can register their child via the city portal "LITTLE BIRD". There are two care modules - from 12:35 to 17:00 hrs or from 13:20 to 17:00 hrs.
