Thirteen students and their accompanying teacher from our partner school in Prague have arrived in Geisenhausen for a ten-day stay.

We are delighted that our guests can immerse themselves in everyday Bavarian life, get to know at first hand school life at Montessori Landshut and experience English not just as a school subject but as a key communication skill between people who do not share the same first language.

The exchange programme is not just about school. The Czech students are looked after and cared for by their partner students and host families and have plenty of time outside school to explore the local area including Munich and Regensburg.

We would like to thank all the staff, parents and students – often working unnoticed in the background – who continue to make our exchange programme with the Czech Republic such a success and we look forward to travelling to Prague with our students in March next year.
