Prerequisites: How can I become a student?
In order to become a student of the LIZ Webschool it is first necessary to obtain an official school exemption document or a doctor’s note which outlines the student’s special needs. Official proof must specify that an exemption from the legal obligation to attend a traditional state-run school (German: Schulpflicht) has been granted, and should indicate a corresponding period of validity. If the state-specified, legal education requirements have already been fulfilled, this is no longer necessary.
How do I receive an official school exemption? It is possible to request an exemption from the Education Board overseeing your district. Adequate proof must be provided to justify the exemption. More information about this can be found in our brochure.
An important note regarding cost: in many cases, students are referred by the Child Welfare Office (CWO). The CWO will typically cover costs for special education services.
How the LIZ Webschool works
The LIZ Webschool teaches students in a one-on-one setting. Because the lessons take place entirely over the internet, our students learn in a comfortable and safe setting, free from instances of mobbing or bullying.
Our school doesn’t have any bells! Upon request, lessons can take place outside of typical school hours. In addition to scheduling flexibility we also work to overcome other hurdles. Because all of our teachers are trained in Therapy Oriented, Internet-Based Special Education (TOIS), we are qualified to accept students who struggle with a range of social and / or emotional difficulties.
