The Pestalozzi School Idstein ( PSI for short ) is a grammar school with around 1,000 students and 100 teachers, including the Renaissance castle . It was established shortly after the Second World War as a boarding school and research school. The school was named after the Swiss pedagogue Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi , who took the typical school motive of “strengthening people” as a goal.
history
The school was founded in 1946 as an advanced high school with boarding school. The boarding school students who had traveled made it possible for the then Untertaunus district to set up such a high school in the first place. The number of students from the then still small town of Idstein would not have been enough for this: A new language experimental high school was founded with possible entry into the seventh grade. Since 2007, grade 5 pupils have also been admitted. The long-planned cafeteria was completed in 2010 and is located in the converted TV hall.
exchange
The Pestalozzi School currently runs exchange programs with five schools: Uglich in Russia , Claye-Souilly and Avignon in France , Bienne and Canton Vaud in Switzerland and Cañada Rosal in Spain .
