SCHOOL PRESENTATION
Merz Schule is a private school offering nursery, primary and secondary education. It was founded by Senator Albrecht Leo Merz in 1918 and is based in Stuttgart, Germany.
Merz Schule distinguishes itself by its original training methods, based on the personal growth of the pupils who benefit from individual tutoring throughout their schooling.
In the spirit of holistic education, Merz Schule offers a pedagogy in which many activities (music, drawing, sports, etc.) complement the academic lessons in order to develop the potential of each pupil and instil in them a sense of community life, civic responsibility and accountability.
