special features and school mascot

The Alea School, also known as "Home of the Foxes", relies on a creative identity that is reflected in the official mascot: the loops OAK and Amber. These two characters were designed by Ken Duncan, a well-known Disney artist, and symbolically stand for curiosity, courage and cleverness-characteristics that are to be promoted from the students: inside. This selection is not accidental, because the fox as a heraldic animal represents the proximity to the Spessartwald, which already inspired the Brothers Grimm to their legendary fairy tales, which also shaped Disney.

Another highlight of the opening ceremony was the musical accompaniment by Lina Larissa Strahl, which together with the children planted 20 insect -friendly shrubs on the school premises. This campaign was celebrated as a starting shot of an educational partnership with the Senckenberg Society for Natural Research, which underlines the commitment of the school for environmental education.

Future visions

The Alea School is under discussion as a bilingual educational location, and the planned final school location in the Bad Orber Curial district on Parkallee is being aimed for for the school year 2028/2029. Headmistress Pauline Ponti was enthusiastic about the anticipation of the founding years and spoke about how this new school would like to promote a different kind of learning. Registrations for the school year 2026/2027 are already possible and promise that the Alea School will quickly be in the course.

Overall, the ARGE ALEA School can look back on a promising start, and with a clear vision for the future, it will surely soon win over many students. The combination of bilingual lessons, creative approaches and a strong network is already very popular - an exciting development for everyone who is interested in education.
