Grammar school preparation in self-study with learning control (milestone courses)
At our school, students can also prepare for the gymnasium on their own in self-study with the help of our teaching materials of the highest quality and have their learning success assessed once a month by highly qualified teachers in our milestone course. In this way, gaps in knowledge can be identified and closed in good time.
In addition, the milestone course includes 3 essay corrections for students who prepare for the Gymnasium in self-study in order to practise writing essays, as well as a simulation exam in which students can take the grammar school exam under real conditions (‘just like the real thing’).
Autonomous preparation for grammar school with assessment of learning success on the milestone course days
In our milestone course for high school preparation in self-study with learning control, students work with the proven teaching tools and course binders from the Lern-Forum.
Even if students learn independently and sometimes with the help of parents, it is important to receive feedback on learning progress from experienced teachers.
Participants take a short exam on each of the monthly course days. Gaps and uncertainties are identified so that the students can work on the topic specifically.
What is included in the milestone course:
- 4 days with presence classes (1 x monthly).
- Small test for learning control (on each course day).
- 3 essay corrections with comprehensive expert opinion.
- 1 simulation exam "like real".
Advantages of self-study grammar school preparation
The preparation phase for the grammar school entrance exam is an intensive time for pupils. In addition to the normal challenges of everyday school life, there are many hours of studying for the exam. Many children do not have time to attend an external course every week in addition to preparing at school.
This is where preparation with milestones comes in handy. Pupils prepare themselves independently using the tried-and-tested Lern-Forum.ch materials and specially produced explanatory videos. They can check their learning success on the milestone course days that take place every 4 weeks (four times in total).

Simulation test
In order to succeed in an exam situation, a student must manage the nervousness and uncertainty that the task brings.
In our Simulation test the course participants can experience what they will be facing and experience one-to-one how the real exam will proceed. In this way, they are not surprised by an unexpected situation, but know what is important and can prepare themselves accordingly.
