Digitale Drehtuer – A Unique Enrichment Program for Gifted Students

Digitale Drehtuer is a digital, nationwide educational program in Germany, designed to help gifted students discover and develop their talents. By offering a wide range of inspiring live courses and self-paced learning modules, students can engage in self-regulated learning and explore topics beyond their regular curriculum.

As a proud partner of this innovative German nationwide program, we are happy to bring Digitale Drehtuer to New York. We are excited to provide this unique enrichment opportunity to selected students at our school, offering them the chance to engage in a program that emphasizes future skills, creative methodologies, and student-driven learning. Digitale Drehtuer offers personalized learning, allowing students to choose courses based on their interests. It fosters self-regulated learning and helps develop skills like critical thinking and time management. With expert instructions, students engage in deep academic exploration. The program provides flexible learning through digital live sessions and self-paced modules. It enhances classroom learning with advanced topics and creative methods while enabling global connections with peers.  

How It Works

Since the 2023/24 school year, the Digitale Drehtuer model has been offered at GISNY for class 5 - 11. Selected by their teachers, only 1-2 students per class are invited to join Digitale Drehtuer sessions alongside their regular classes. It is designed to support high -performing / stronger pupils suggested by teachers and takes place mainly during lesson times. For the most part, the students work independently on specific topics which sets the Digitale Drehtuer model apart from the rest of the lessons. These highly motivated students often go above and beyond, with some even starting their day as early as 4 AM to participate in live courses led from Germany (time difference) and make the most of this unique opportunity! What they miss in regular classes they review independently.

 

Remarkable preparation.  For wherever the future takes them.
