My first impression

 

I started this adventure on Monday, April 20th, 2026. 

My first class was on Tuesday. Everything was very different from what I knew. The first thing to mention is that they study in a monastery. It is the Schlierbach Monastery, which is also the place where the village cheese is produced.

My second impression was that they leave their outdoor boots in the lockers and walk around the high school in slippers or indoor shoes. Also, the school timetable is not always the same. Some days they finish earlier and others later. I should add that the class times are not exact. A lesson can easily start at 7:54, 10:51, or 12:42. These are details that felt a bit strange at first but everything has a reason. (They use their time more efficiently)

One thing I loved is the purpose of the 'PerLe' classes. These are some school hours where you choose which subject or activity you would like to do. This encourages students' academic independence, helps them socialise with more people and allows them to relax every week doing what they prefer or like most.
