Embracing Diversity
The World Visits Haubinda
The Lietz Boarding School in Haubinda is an international boarding school in Germany that brings diversity and a sense of community to life every day. About ten to fifteen percent of our students come from abroad. This international community enriches the learning experience, opens up new perspectives, and makes Haubinda a unique place.
To ensure that all young people feel welcome from the very beginning, we have developed a customized integration program. This includes:
Welcome to your new home
We also place great importance on ensuring that our international students feel at home outside of class.
International Weekends – Unique to Haubinda
As an international boarding school, Haubinda offers something unique that is found nowhere else in Germany: International Weekends. While many students go home, the international students go on exciting short trips together with their teachers and staff. The excursions begin on Fridays and take students to German cities and regions—from Neuschwanstein Castle to the Old Town of Bamberg, from Europapark Rust to Gamescom in Cologne. Cultural highlights such as the Art Festival in Weimar and sporting events like the FIS Ski Flying World Cup in Oberstdorf are also on the itinerary.
This way, the young people can not only explore Germany, but also deepen their knowledge of the language and culture—and perhaps even get a glimpse of where they might study in the future.
At Haubinda, internationalism means learning together, benefiting from one another, and growing together—in the classroom, in daily life, and while traveling.
Voices from the student body
What is it like to live in Haubinda as an international student? As part of their project exam, a group of 10th-grade students took a close look at the topic of internationalism and conducted interviews on the subject—even in Chinese.
