School statute
The school's most important document – it describes how the school is organised and what rights students and parents have.
What the statute is
The statute sets out the school's organisation and how it operates. It is adopted by the teaching staff council. All internal rules must comply with it, and in case of discrepancy the statute applies.
This page always has the current version of the statute. We keep previous versions at the school and make them available on request.
