30 good reasons

We teach in classes with a maximum of 12 students. In the lessons, we have more time. Here, each individual is not only challenged but also supported in a very individualized manner. This allows us to inspire students for what is worth knowing.

We challenge our students, expect their commitment, and show them the path to a successful future already in school. Those who expect more from “school” will find the challenge they are looking for with us.

At Schloss Torgelow, younger and older students, girls and boys have their own living areas: the mentorates. The students of the upper school live in the restored castle and in the half-timbered rooms of the Yellow House, while spacious living areas are available in the modern boarding school houses for the middle school.

Gifted students find their place in the Torgelow community. We challenge them, nurture their talents, and appreciate their uniqueness. Here, they receive the recognition and appreciation they deserve.

In the 9th grade, all students from Torgelow spend a third of the school year at the English boarding school “Kingham Hill School.” In the English school community, they gain practical language experience, make international friendships, and learn about English culture.

In the Torgelow climate, children and teenagers feel comfortable. The students sense every day that the adults they live and work with enjoy being with them and that they take pleasure in their roles as teachers, mentors or trainers, workshop leaders, caretakers, or cooks. This fundamental atmosphere ensures that everyone feels understood.

We want our students to be proud of their achievements. Positive feedback is therefore very important to us in order to motivate our students to give their best. They should be proud of what they have accomplished and set goals for the future.

In more than 70 extracurricular projects, students from Torgelow find tangible counterbalances to intellectual work. Therefore, sports, crafts, and entertainment hold a high value at Schloss Torgelow. Here, everyone finds an activity that they enjoy.

We place special emphasis on the development of a professional outlook. Internships, career counseling, and regular lectures are part of the school program. Workshops or weekly high school projects provide additional qualifications in business administration, law, memory techniques, biology, or rhetoric.

Schloss Torgelow is the most successful school in memory sports worldwide. Our students have already demonstrated their skills in numerous competitions and television shows such as “Wetten dass…,” “Deutschlands Superhirn,” “Grips Show,” and “Klein gegen Groß.” We are very proud of their accomplishments.

As mentors, older students take responsibility for younger students or provide tutoring as répétiteurs. In the student parliament, while implementing social projects, or as student assistants in the House of the Future, our students take on responsibilities in school and boarding.

The stadium with artificial turf and a track, the small field sports pitch, the tennis court, as well as the large sports hall, the gym, and the dance studio with a mirrored wall offer a variety of opportunities to be active and to exert oneself.

Schloss Torgelow is a school for Germany. The good connection with our castle bus to Berlin and Hamburg offers numerous connections to all German cities. Currently, students from 15 federal states and from abroad attend the boarding school.

In a strong community, our students acquire high communication skills. They learn to assert themselves within the community, take on social responsibility, and act as team players.
