The project program: More than 80 extracurricular activities every week
We believe that an intensive learning atmosphere and efficient work can only lead to success if students do not lose interest in the lessons. They need spaces and times where they can relax. Therefore, sports, crafts, and entertainment hold a high value at Schloss Torgelow.
Tangible counterweights to mental labor
Every week, we therefore offer more than 80 extracurricular projects in the afternoon and evening, giving our students the opportunity to discover their individual inclinations and talents.
Not far from the Müritz – the largest inland lake in Germany – and directly at Lake Torgelow, unique water sports opportunities are available. Swimming, sailing, surfing, fishing, rowing, and canoeing are simply part of life for the people of Torgelow.
Anyone interested can obtain their sailing or sports boat license with us. The Torgelower dragon boat team is one of the most successful student teams in Germany.
Sports hold a high status at Schloss Torgelow
But even on land, the sports program leaves nothing to be desired. The newly built stadium with artificial turf and a track, the small field sports area, the tennis court, as well as the large sports hall and the dance studio with mirrored walls offer diverse opportunities. In football, basketball, and volleyball, one learns what it means to think of others and to be strong together. Endurance sports and conditioning training in our modern gym are an important balance for many. For participants in the golf project, the indoor golf simulator also offers the opportunity to continue training in winter. Aerobics, athletics, and rowing complete the sports program.
Modern computer equipment with a direct internet connection, a video workshop, and a sound studio offer technically inclined students a variety of options for multimedia design. Here, they acquire the know-how for creating websites, learn user programs and programming languages. The woodworking shop invites students to engage creatively and work hands-on.
Set your own priorities.
Our goal is to create such a diverse range of project offerings that everyone has the opportunity to focus on areas according to their age and interests.
Particularly popular among younger people are the care of animals in the small animal zoo, creative projects such as glass shard magic or painting and drawing, tinkering and crafting, and acquiring a fishing license in the fishing project.
The older students prepare for their studies in projects such as rhetoric, business administration, business English, debate club, literature, relaxation exercises, computer animated design, time management, career finding, or memory training.
Despite school and the rich variety of project offerings, the daily schedule allows time to recover from the diverse impressions of the day. Meeting friends, visiting the disco in the Yellow House, and going to the boarding school cinema are all part of it, as well as regular barbecues, parties, and excursions that make the time at Schloss Torgelow simply unforgettable.
Team projects: planning together, acting together, succeeding together
In a world where success is becoming increasingly important, social skills are at risk of taking a backseat in favor of an “elbow mentality.” Leading companies have long recognized that in a process of division of labor, teamwork and emotional intelligence are among the key qualifications. Any training, no matter how qualified, becomes futile if it loses sight of the aspect of human interaction.
Think and act as a team
At Schloss Torgelow, we want to empower our students to take responsibility for others. They should recognize that collaboration in a group, teamwork in a team, or working on a common project offers opportunities and possibilities that an individual would not have.
To strengthen the team spirit, we offer cross-class team projects starting from the 9th grade. Here, young people from different grade levels with similar interests can work together towards a common goal.
You are part of a sports team in sailing, judo, soccer, tennis, horseback riding, golf, triathlon, or athletics, implement applied biology projects in the great outdoors, create a large sculpture in an art project, or gain experience in handling the camera and with Photoshop in a team photography project.
In the team project Music Performance, they combine the creation of artistically ambitious videos with live music, and in Outdoor Adventure, they learn about their limits.
In a team, one must stand up for each other, not be discouraged by setbacks, and pursue the set goal with perseverance. A special highlight of the collaborative work is the team project week, during which they work towards a common goal for an entire week. In the end, there is pride in the achievements made as a team and a very special sense of belonging.
Projects 2025/26
At Schloss Torgelow, students have projects in the afternoon and evening in addition to their morning classes. The project magazine provides an overview of the more than 80 projects available to choose from.
Each student must select a certain number of projects from the overall offer. However, if the minimum number of participants is not met, it is possible that the project cannot be conducted, and a new selection by the student will be necessary.
