A School for Everyone

And a Bridge between Western and Eastern Europe

The est is open to everyone. It is particularly important to us to make this school experience available to as many students as possible from all fields of society. Scholarships for half of the student body and an income-based school fee system will break down social and economic barriers and ensure a high level of diversity.

Due to its location, the est is predestined to become a bridge between western and eastern Europe. For this reason, we are focusing our attention on central and eastern Europe when recruiting students. Conceived as a democratic school, nothing less than a Europe in miniature is to be created here – in the spirit of Jean Monnet, one of the founding fathers of the European Union, who said: “If you want a united Europe, you need to bring young people together.”

With the est, this idea has become reality.
