Welcome to Heinrich-Heine-School
 

Karlshagen is in the north-east of Germany by the Baltic Sea on the Island Usedom.
 

 

This is the Island Usedom.

There are two schools in the building : Primary and Comprehensive. Children start school at the age of six as they join the Primary School. The Comprehensive School starts at Year Five (at the age of 10).
   

We have 170 students and 20 teachers,  a secretary, a caretaker and three cleaning ladies. The school is lead by the Headmistress supported by the Headmistress Assistant.
The school year is divided into two terms.  At the end of each term, the students get their school reports. Their work is graded from 1 to 6, 1 being excellent, 2- good, 3- satisfactory, 4 - mediocre, 5 - poor, 6 - very bad.           
The Primary School has 12 rooms while the Comprehensive School has 27 classrooms. There is a big kitchen, a room for Art lessons, a Music room, a Physics room, a Science room, a Computer room, a Biology room and a staff room. There is a special room where students can do their homework in the afternoon, another one to spend hours free from lessons and a number of smaller rooms with books on various subiects where teachers and students alike can work. 
All classrooms are equipped with an overhead projector, some have a DVD or a VHS player, a TV, a green board or an interactive “smart” board. Calendars, posters, pictures and flowers make our classrooms nice and cheerful.  There is also a gym, a track and other outdoor facilities.  Important school events take place in our new Hall.  Overlooking a pine forest, it seats 150 people and boasts modern stage equipment.
