The lessons take place in connected, blocked lessons of two times six weeks each school year. Apprentices with a good secondary school leaving certificate can acquire the technical college entrance qualification by attending additional teaching units. A one-year dual training preparation course is planned for school leavers without a training place.
Vocational school for hairdressers
The school has set itself the goal of doing justice to the heterogeneity of trainees in the hairdressing trade with regard to their performance and the circumstances of their extracurricular training.
In addition to the classic basic classes, hairdressing intensive classes with a small number of students are offered for trainees with special needs; The lessons in this class are tailored to the individual needs of the students with the training companies. The salon class offers particularly practice-oriented lessons using the school's own teaching salon "burgschön"; All work situations in a hairdressing salon, including the advertising strategy, product selection, billing and IT-supported salon management, are run through. For particularly motivated trainees with at least a good secondary school diploma and good English skills, there is the plus class with a higher level of performance and funding opportunities in the areas of make-up , hairdressing- specific English and event organization. Spring classes for trainees who have not started their in-company training at the usual time, and workshop classes for students who are not trained in a hairdressing salon, take into account non-standard teaching situations.
Vocational school for beauticians
The profession-specific curriculum includes the areas of skin care, cosmetic treatments, body care, design and business; The curriculum also includes job-related technical English and the job-related subject of business and society.
Vocational school for makeup artists
An apprenticeship contract at a theater is required for admission to the school. The vocational students come from all over Germany and there is a dormitory near the school. Complex learning situations are played through, with planning, implementation and evaluation of the results. Requirements for professional activities and alternative implementation processes are discussed.
Dual training preparation
A year-long training preparation course is offered for young people who are still of school age and who do not have an apprenticeship. The allocation takes place via the district schools . The training takes place three days a week in an internship company, two days in school. The lessons include both general education and general occupational subjects. After the end of the school year, a first general school leaving certificate can be obtained.
Mission statement and motto
The school is committed to the tradition of its predecessor, which was originally located in the building, the Burgstrasse school , an elementary school that was run according to the reform ideas of the 1920s. The lessons are accordingly based on concrete action situations, which are dealt with completely in the lessons, broken down according to the steps of planning, performing and evaluating. Also in the tradition of the former reform school, the principle of differentiated entering into applies to the conditions in person and extracurricular educational situation of trainees following the motto of today's school "... for each head something!" .
Building and location
The school building is on the western side of Burgstrasse, with the former Borgfelder AOK building adjoining it in the north . The elongated structure of the four-storey brick building with a flat hipped roof is oriented in a north-south direction. Almost all of the classrooms face east to the schoolyard on the street. The division of the facade into eight horizontal groups of four windows (there are only groups of three on the ground floor) corresponds to the original division into classrooms inside. The stairwells and toilet facilities are on the rear, western side. On the west side, two short side wings are added to the north and south end of the building. On the east side, the building was originally accessible via two arched portals, which are located in side elevations reaching up to the third floor - this corresponds to the initially planned division of the building into two separate departments for boys and girls. Apart from the reliefs of the portal edging, restrained fields that separate the windows of different floors are the only facade decorations. In the entrance projections these fields are accentuated by a central decorative element. The gym is not integrated into the main building; it is located in a separate component on the north side of the schoolyard.
history
The planning of the school building by Fritz Schumacher goes back to 1915. However, construction did not begin until after the end of the First World War ; The school building was inaugurated in 1921 together with the previous school of today's vocational school, an elementary school . The Burgstraße school, which originally used the building, was one of twelve Hamburg schools that tried to align everyday school life with the reform pedagogy of the 1920s. For the Burgstrasse school , this meant co-education - although the building was planned for two separate departments for girls and boys - as well as the abolition of corporal punishment and staying seated for poor performance. Value was placed on interdisciplinary, practice-oriented learning and also on experience-oriented extracurricular learning - in the school camp. Loki Schmidt , who attended classes in the house on Burgstrasse from 1925 until she switched to the Lichtwark School in 1929, was probably the best-known student at the former reform school.
During the National Socialist dictatorship in 1939, separate schools for boys and girls were set up again in the school building. From 1945 the school building was only used for final classes. After the Second World War , co-education was reintroduced. In addition to the elementary school, an auxiliary school and, until 1964, the Hamburg school for the deaf (then the Samuel Heinicke School, today Elbschule, Hammer Straße) were added to the building.
After the closure of the Burgstrasse school , which last existed as a secondary school and secondary school , the vocational school for hairdressers, which had been spun off from the State Commercial School for Printing Technology, moved into the building in 1978 . The school building has been a listed building since 2009.
