    Levels of supervision

    The care and supervision of the children and young people living in the boarding school is divided into three levels: full supervision, partial supervision and assisted living.

    1. Full supervision:
      provided during the first year of residence at the boarding school and during completion of the foundation study programme.

    2. Partial supervision:
      students transfer to partial supervision from their second year of residence onwards, provided they have reached the right level of maturity and independence, but at the earliest when moving onto the main study programme.

    3. Assisted living:
      subject to availability, students transfer to shared accommodation when moving into their third year of the EFZ training (minimum age 16 years).
