Wilhelm-Kaisen-Schule
| About Our School | Wilhelm-Kaisen-Schule has been a member of the associated schools project of UNESCO since 1991. It is situated on the left bank of the River Weser in a part of the city called New Town, which is not far from the medieval town centre. Our school building is from the 1970s. The highest part of the building that sports a bright orange houses the laboratories: biology, physics, chemistry, music, art, modern technologies. The school is situated in a park with a beautiful schoolyard that has a southern flair and offers a variety of sporting facilities (climbing, basketball, volleyball, football). Our pupils are between 10 and 16 years old. Those who want to take their A-levels have to go on to a sixth form, which we don't provide, but most of our pupils leave school after year 10, anyway, to start an apprenticeship and/or go to a vocational school. The languages taught at WKS are English from year 5, as well as Spanish, French and Turkish from year 6. We have had exchange programmes with Scotland, Poland, Russia, Spain, Israel, France and Turkey since the 1970s. Due to the multicultural mixture of pupils that attend our school we have an open minded and flexible staff. |

Dear Petra,
The honour is indeed ours to know that your school would be willing to initiate a pen-friend's club with the students of City Montessori School. We have 20 branch campuses spread all over the city and I have talked to one of the principals who would shortly be giving names of about 7-8 students ranging from 10 to 13 years to begin with. We'll add more students from other campuses too as need be. Exchanging letters by emails would be great. Just let me know if you would prefer to receive scanned copies of the letters in children's own handwriting because that adds a personal touch and your students may also reciprocate in the same manner. Can you think of an interesting name for our pen friend's club? I would really appreciate if you can reply on my email address at rishi@cmseducation.org as that would make the things more official and I may circulate our communication over all the campuses of our school. Do let us know when your school opens after the summer break as we have several events lined up round the year and we can send you official invitations to those events. It'll be an honour to host you and your students at our school. Looking forward to hear from you soon. With warm regards, Rishi

Hello dear friends of the Wilhelm-Kaisen-Schule! I don't know whether you have gotten an opportunity to read my previous message posted on your message wall but to make things going with your esteemed institution, I would like to ask if you would consider starting a pen-friend's project between students of similar age-groups of your school and our students. We already have an ongoing pen-friend's project with several schools of Pakistan called 'Aao Dosti karein' in Hindi (Come...Let us be friends). This project was initiated with 5 schools of pakistan during the time of Kargil war when the tensions between India and Pakistan were palpable and hatred was growing across the borders, seeds of which had also started to be sown in the young minds. This project has been very successful over the years and exchange of letters gradually gave way to physical exchange of student delegations from the other side of the border. Now Pakistani school delegations are a regular at all the CMS international events. It would be great if we can initiate a pen-friends' club with your school too. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Hello dear friends of the Wilhelm-Kaisen-Schule ! I am Rishi Khanna of the linked school City Montessori School from India and I extend my welcome greetings to all of you. It is indeed an honour to have our school linked with yours. Perhaps we will share a lot of activities and experiences together in the coming time. We organise 27 International Events based on a variety of subjects such as Science, Computers, Music, Literary Festivals, geography, History, Bio Technology and also an International Competition for Pre-Primary Kids. You are requested to visit our website www.cmseducation.org for more details under the events section. During the course of these events, we provide free transportation, boarding and lodging to the participating teams. There is no Registration fee for participation in any of the events. Two of the upcoming events are REFLECTIONS, an event in the History Subject and COFAS (Computer Fair and Seminar) which will be organised in September. We would be honoured to have your school participate in these events. We would also be honoured to host the Principal/Head of the School who would be our honoured Special Guests for the event. Please let us know if you are interested in participating in any of these events. We would send you a formal invitation for the same. Looking forward to hearing from you in near future.
