ssb Nottebohm Schul- & Studienberatung mit Internaten in den USA und Kanada im Programm
Unser Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf Boarding Schools (Internaten), auch und gerade mit sportlichem Profil. Schülern helfen wir zu finden, welche Schule zu Ihnen passt. Eltern beraten wir so gut, dass sie ihre Kinder getrost ziehen lassen können.
Unser Ausbildungskonzept beinhaltet eine Schullaufbahnberatung, die sich über Schulzeit und Abschluss hinaus, zum Studium und bis in den Berufseinstieg erstreckt. Gemeinsam erarbeiten wir ein Bildungsprofil, das dem Jugendlichen individuell angemessen wird.
Das Team von ssb Nottebohm setzt sich aus erfahrenen Pädagogen zusammen, die seit vielen Jahren mit den Bildungssystemen diesseits und jenseits des Atlantiks vertraut sind. Sie begleiten Schüler und deren Eltern vom ersten Kennen lernen an, in der Vorbereitungszeit, mit einem Besuch vor Ort bis über die Rückkehr hinaus.
Im Verbund mit anderen Partnerorganisationen beraten wir Sie gerne umfassend über alle Möglichkeiten (Schulbesuch mit Unterbringung in Gastfamilien, Englisch als Fremdsprache und Sprachzentren in Europa, Nordamerika, Australien und Neuseeland).
Die Begeisterung der Jugendlichen und das Vertrauen der Eltern sind uns Lob und Ansporn.
Welcome to ssb Nottebohm High School and College Consulting (ssb)
We are your competent partner if you're a young person wanting to spend time in the USA or Canada. Our specialty is in boarding schools, many of which have a special emphasis such as a particular sport or the arts. We help both schools and young people find just the right match. We provide you, parents, with solid advice, information and experience to help you feel completely comfortable letting your child stretch his/her wings.
Our educational concept includes a comprehensive school career advising which does not limit itself to the high school years but looks ahead to college and career. We work together to develop an educational profile which fits each individual young person.
The ssb Nottebohm team is made up of experienced educators who are very familiar with the educational systems on both sides of the Atlantic. They "accompany" high school and college students and their parents from the first meeting, through the preparation phase, during the time abroad (including a personal visit!) and after your return home.
We have trusted partners who specialize in other areas and types of stays abroad, and are more than happy to talk with you about all sorts of options such as family stays, English as a Foreign Language, and language centers in Europe, North America, Australia and Japan.
The young people's enthusiasm and the parents' trust serve to encourage and motivate us in this exciting task.
WHAT DO GIRLS’ SCHOOLS DO DIFFERENTLY THAN CO-EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS?
They create a risk-taking environment designed for teaching that, in the words of James Joyce, “mistakes are the portals of discovery.”
They counter mass-media influences on female students by giving girls strengthening havens where they can effectively navigate the troubling image of girls in today’s media with balance and self-assurance.
They support a can-do philosophy. All leaders, movers and doers at the school are female. Girls’ schools show their students that any girl can be president, any girl can play the drums and any girl can take apart and reassemble a bike.
They ensure that learning takes center stage without social distractions. Without the presence of boys, girls tend to display their intelligence and curiosity regardless of powerful age-determined notions of popularity, attractiveness or negative peer pressure.
They incorporate research indicating that team problem-solving works well for girls by providing extensive opportunities for collaborative learning.
They guarantee that math, science and technology education are integral curricular components. Girls are expected to participate fully in these areas and they do.
They focus on real life issues like career, work and money highlighting the importance of financial literacy for girls. This dispells the Prince Charming myth that they will be cared for by someone other than themselves. Most women will be in the workforce by choice and necessity and all women must carry from school the economic tools to be self-sustaining.
They promote athletic participation as a natural way to develop team play, leadership, individual talent, physical conditioning, competence and knowing how to win and lose.
They sustain a predominately female culture whose hallmarks are caring, challenge, collaboration, competition, connection in the interest of developing each girl to her fullest potential and to develop a moral context that will serve them all their lives. In so doing, girls’ schools honor women’s voices, their female perspective, and their female way of doing things.
