Ludolf-Wilhelm-Fricke-Schule

Ludolf-Wilhelm-Fricke-Schule stands in Hanover as a state-recognised special-needs school within the Stephansstift Förderschulen. Its classrooms support children and young people with emotional, social and cognitive challenges through individualised education, practical projects and social learning.

The school covers curricula from primary and secondary education alongside special-needs teaching, with pathways for emotional and social development, learning, and cognitive development. A large workshop, school kitchen and garden connect lessons with practical skills, while a sports hall, motor-skills room, football field and hardball court support movement. Therapeutic vaulting, swimming, psychomotor activities and a girls’ group add further support, with cooperation classes, school-day groups and intensive educational groups shaping different learning settings.

Near the Eilenriede city forest and Annabad, the grounds include a large playground and the school’s own horse. Fifty-two teachers and thirty-two educational specialists work with school companions and therapists when required, creating a setting built around self-determination, collaboration, creativity and tolerance.
