Essay Training

Writing an essay is a key element of competence

The written expression says a lot about the student's maturity and intellectual engagement with his or her environment. In the entrance examination to secondary schools, writing an essay is an essential part. Language expression is a key skill and carries corresponding weight in grading.

Our specific essay course focuses on the requirements for an exam essay. In doing so, the students deal with the different text types of the entrance examination and find out about the different, how to structure an essay in a formally correct way. In addition, the students learn how important it is to implement the task exactly and how this can be analyzed.


In addition to these basic skills, students are given the opportunity to work on their vocabulary and stylistics in targeted writing training sessions. In small groups, individual attention is guaranteed so that each child can receive specific support.
Finally, in the essay course, the basics of orthography and punctuation are repeated so that students can write their essays with as few errors as possible.


For each essay, the course includes an essay correction with a comprehensive written report with error analysis. The assessment principle of the cantonal gymnasium serves as the basis for grading. Thus, after the essay course, students can demonstrate what they have learned and receive an assessment of whether they meet the requirements for admission to the gymnasium.
