Stiftung LouisenlundAbout the
Stiftung Louisenlund is a privately run boarding school for boys and girls in Güby, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The school's main building is in Louisenlund Palace, which was built by Hermann von Motz between 1772 and 1776 for Prince Charles of Hesse-Kassel as a gift for his wife, Princess Louise of Denmark, the daughter of King Frederick V of Denmark. Louisenlund later became part of the property owned by the dukes of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, who remodeled the castle to its present state. An English traveler, Horace Marryat, wrote in 1860, "Louisenlund is a charming residence in summer time, with its dark beech woods, in spring a carpet of lilies, herb-paris, hepaticas; and the bright blue waters of its deep fiordes, waters which could reveal sad tales". Advised by Kurt Hahn, in 1949 Wilhelm Friedrich, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein decided to build a boarding school on the grounds and established the Louisenlund Foundation. A foundation set up to administer the Stiftung Louisenlund, a member of the Round Square Conference of Schools. The present chairwoman is Wilhelm Friedrich's granddaughter, Ingeborg, Princess of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg (born 1956).
Focus of Study : After completing Year 9, students at Louisenlund decide on whether they want to sit for the IB Diploma or the German Abitur. IB Diploma lessons are in English. Louisenlund is one of 84 accredited IB World Schools in Germany.
Benefit, Goal of this course : The state-recognised Abitur provides a solid basis for the students’ future, allowing them to matriculate at a university in Germany or a German university of applied sciences or to pursue a high-quality traineeship. Needless to say, Louisenlund Abitur holders can also apply for admission to universities in other countries.
The IB at Louisenlund offers students the opportunity of “attending an international school at their very own front door” thanks to the use of English as the language of tuition as well as the multicultural backgrounds of the other students.
