MIKE MAY Schulleiter seit 2014
Seit Jahr und Tag leben die meisten LehrerInnen mit ihren Familien
an der Ecole. Dieses integrative Lebenskonzept entspricht Paul Geheebs Vision einer Mehrgenerationengemeinschaft und bereichert
unser Leben enorm. Dennoch ist die ganzheitliche Verbindung von
Lehrtätigkeit, Freizeitgestaltung, eigener Familie und dem täglichen
Zusammenleben mit den SchülerInnen immer wieder ein Balanceakt.
Das ist eine tagtägliche logistische Herausforderung, was sich auch
bei der Gewinnung und dem Erhalt unseres Mitarbeiterteams stets
aufs Neue herauskristallisiert.
Die Ausgabe dieses Ecolianers ist einem ganz wesentlichen
Aspekt unserer Arbeit und der Ecole-Kultur gewidmet, der das
Konzept grösstenteils erst überhaupt ermöglicht: Den HelferInnen.
Diese jungen Menschen zwischen 18 und 20 Jahren spielen eine sehr
entscheidende Rolle an der Ecole. Zum einen sind sie als SchülerInnen hier und nehmen an Vormittags- und Nachmittagskursen teil.
Zum anderen unterstützen sie unsere Familien mit Kleinkindern,
oder sind im Archiv, im LPC Büro, bei Wartungsarbeiten und in
den Gärten tätig.
Während ihrer Zeit an der Ecole übernehmen sie eine aussergewöhnlich anspruchsvolle Rolle – einerseits sind sie erwachsene
MitarbeiterInnen, andererseits SchülerInnen. Doch sie nehmen
die Herausforderung an und wandeln auf dem schmalen Grat
zwischen MitschülerIn, Vorbild und ebenbürtigem Partner. Sie sind
in die Ecole-Familien, den Unterricht und alle Freizeitaktivitäten
eingebunden und werden so zu einem wichtigen Bindeglied im
Netzwerk der Ecole.
Interessanterweise habe ich eine persönliche Verbindung
zu den Aufgaben unserer HelferInnen. Sie geht auf das Jahr 2004
zurück und hat also noch nichts mit der Ecole zu tun. Damals hatte
ich gerade meine erste Schulleiterstelle an einer neu gegründeten
High School in den USA angetreten. Die Arbeit war streng und
schnelllebig (ähnlich wie an der Ecole). Meine Frau Noëlle schloss
gerade ihren Magister ab und arbeitete zusätzlich in einer Teilzeitstelle. Daheim hatten wir drei kleine Jungs und es wurde klar, dass
wir Hilfe brauchten wenn wir dieses ambitionierte Arbeitspensum
bewältigen wollten. Auf der Suche nach einer Lösung kam uns der
Gedanke, eine Au-Pair oder Nanny zu suchen. Bald trat eine junge
Frau aus dem Südwesten Deutschlands in unser Leben. Miriam
arbeitete selbständig, aber auch mit mir oder Noëlle gemeinsam.
Sie hütete die Kinder, sorgte für den Haushalt und wir wuchsen
schnell zusammen, wobei sie unsere Angewohnheit mit den Jungs
Deutsch zu sprechen, beibehielt. So wurde sie immer mehr ein Teil
unseres Lebens und wir unterstützten sie auch in ihrer persönlichen
Entwicklung. Wir ermutigten sie, während ihrer Zeit in den USA Neues zu wagen, aus dem behaglichen Familienleben herauszutreten,
andere Menschen zu treffen und neue Erfahrungen zu sammeln.
Wie das im Leben so ist: Wir teilten, wir debattierten, waren
auch uneins, machten Fehler und taten Abbitte; wir rangen mit den
Jungs und unseren Zweifeln über die richtige Erziehung. Daraus erwuchs eine enge Freundschaft, die nun schon seit 13 Jahren andauert.
Miriam wohnt heute mit ihrer kleinen Familie in Freiburg i. B. Da
wir ihr nun so nahe sind, zieht - wann immer möglich – die ganze
May-Borders-Sippe los und wir besuchen Miriam. Es bewegt mich
tief, zu beobachten, wie heute unsere Jungs mit Miriams kleinen
Kindern spielen und toben.
Es überraschte mich also keineswegs, dieselben oder ähnliche
Geschichten von den HelferInnen an der Ecole zu hören. Unsere
HelferInnen hinterlassen tiefe Spuren in den Herzen vieler MitarbeiterInnen und oft bleiben latente, aber stete Verbindungen
zur Ecole. Sie kehren möglicherweise zum Ecole-Kreis später als

MitarbeiterInnen, Vorstandsmitglieder, Stiftungsratsmitglieder,
SpenderInnen, Volontäre oder VermittlerInnen wieder zurück. Ich
staune immer wieder über die wunderbaren Verbindungen, die aus
dieser Zusammenarbeit über die Jahre erwachsen.
Nun, da ich diese letzten Zeilen schreibe, geht es auf 12.00 Uhr
zu und die tägliche Ansagekonferenz naht. Freudiger, spielerischer
Lärm und Kindergelächter schallen durch die frische Herbstluft.
Neugierig geworden, schaue ich aus meinem Bürofenster und entdecke ein familiäres Bild: Fünf unserer Jüngsten der Gemeinschaft – alle
unter vier Jahren alt – toben durch einen riesigen, bunten Haufen
Herbstlaub. Gleich hinter ihnen vier HelferInnen, die Kleinsten im
Arm wiegend. Ihre Kinder wohl behütet wissend, streben die MitarbeiterInnen Richtung Geheeb 4 zur Konferenz und können sich
beruhigt ihrer Arbeit widmen.
Helpers
MIKE MAY Director since 2014
For years the Ecole teaching corps has relied upon teachers with
families. Their incorporation into the daily life and rhythm of the
school fits the Geheeb multi-generational vision and enriches the
fabric of the community. Nevertheless, the full-on lifestyle that
comes with teaching academics and enrichment activities, while
simultaneously integrating students into one’s own nuclear family
and living space is truly a difficult juggling act, one which creates
challenges with day-to-day logistics, as well as more broadly in
attracting and retaining quality faculty. In this edition of the Ecolianer we explore a critical component of the Ecole culture that
makes this work possible: Helpers. These young people, generally
between the ages of 18 and 20, have long served a critical role at
the Ecole. Here on student visas, the Helpers take a class in both
the morning and afternoon while serving as caretakers and family
supports for Mitarbeiter with children. Helpers also may serve in
other capacities, such as supporting the office staff, the archivists,
the administrative work of the Luethi Peterson Summer Camps,
or even helping with maintenance and gardening work. During
their time at the Ecole, these young adults occupy a uniquely challenging space at the Ecole; existing between the adult Mitarbeiter
and students, they embrace the challenge of treading the fine line
between being a valued partner, a role model and a peer. Through
it all, they are incorporated into Ecole families, classes, and activities and become an important ingredient in the mortar, helping
to bind the bricks of the Ecole structure together.
Interestingly, I have a personal connection to the contributions made by Helpers, one that predates my experience at the
Ecole. In 2004, I had just assumed my first position as principal
at a newly-founded US high school. The work was intense and
fast-paced (not unlike life at the Ecole), and my wife Noelle was
a full- time graduate student and also working part-time. With
three young boys at home, it was clear that we were going to need
some help if we were to pull-off such an ambitious workload. In
the midst of looking for a workable solution we stumbled upon
the opportunity to host an au-pair or nanny. It wasn’t long afterwards that a young woman from southwest Germany entered
our lives. Miriam worked alone and alongside Noelle and me,
supporting our kids, helping run the household, and integrating
herself into our lives. She also continued our practice of speaking German with our boys. And, as she worked her way into our
lives, we supported her personal evolution—challenging her to
take creative risks during her time in America, stepping further
out of her comfort zone to meet new people and try new experiences. As is so often the case in life, somewhere along the way,
as we shared, discussed, disagreed, made mistakes, apologized
and wrestled with the joys and anxieties of raising children, we
developed a close friendship which has endured for 13 years. Now,
when we have time, the May-Borders crew enjoys zipping up to
Freiburg to visit Miriam and her own young family, and there is
something deeply gratifying about watching our boys romp and
play with her own small children.
It didn’t surprise me to discover this same storyline has
repeated itself many times over at the Ecole. Former Helpers
have not only firmly embedded themselves in the hearts of many
a Mitarbeiter, but have themselves formed a steady potential
pipeline of future Mitarbeiter, board members, foundation board
members, donors, volunteers and recruiters. I can only marvel at
the wonderful ripples that have resulted from these collaborations
over the years.
As I write these final lines, shortly before 12 noon and the
start of our daily faculty conference, the exuberant, joyful sounds
of playing children peal through the crisp fall air. Looking out my
office window, I witness a familiar sight: Five of the youngest
members of our community, all under 4 years of age, racing in,
out, and through a huge pile of leaves—with fours helpers right
on their heels, toddlers cradled under their arms. Confident in
their children’s well-being, the faculty gather in Geheeb 4 for
conference and continue with the work of the day.

From the landscape to
becoming part of this great community,
it has been a drastic change but at the same
time unforgetable; in just this first three months
I'm already impressed by the unity of all the school,
and even though my cousin Diana (Helper from last
year) told me a lot of things from here, I have to say
I didn't expect anything like this.

JOSE ANDRES DE JESUS GARCIA CRESPO (MÉXICO)
Prior to coming to the Ecole, to
work as a helper, my plan was to attend the
University of Washington. Since my decision to come
here was so spontaneous, I didn't have many expectations
of the Ecole life. It took a bit of getting used to at first, but
having been here for 2 months already, I can honestly say that
I'm having a great time. The closeness of the community here
has made adjusting much easier. I've made many wonderful
friends and had experiences that I wouldn't have been
able to have in America.
REBECCA
I spent most of my childhood In the Hudson Valley of upstate
NY. Before I arrived at the Ecole, I worked in the
marine industry as an electrician and systems technician after attending The Landing School of Boatbuilding and
Design. My desire to understand through experiencing different ways of thinking by traveling was initially the reason I became
involved in the boating world.
This was also the catalyst which landed me here at the Ecole d’Humanité
as a helper for LP. The dynamic structure of this school teaches not only
academics but also helps students (and faculty) learn to live together in a
community. Although the scheduled structure can be limiting to some, it
can be liberating for others which has allowed many students to thrive. As
a helper it can be challenging give up so much of your contact with the
outside world and commit entirely to living a lifestyle immersed in this
community. It has exposed many previously unrecognized insecurities because there is limited time to escape. With these insecurities revealed It introduces an opportunity to learn how to work
on yourself while tending to your responsibilities.

TAMARA ELENA KRACKE H 2015–'16
Von der Ecole d’Humanité habe ich das erste mal gehört, als ich in
der siebten Klasse war. Einer meiner Lehrer und gleichzeitig Vater
einer Freundin ist hier bei einem Treffen freier Schulen gewesen.
Wir sprachen über die Ecole, vor allem wegen der Ähnlichkeiten zu
Hogwarts, die wir ausmachten: Internat mit Häusern (wir waren
gerade im Harry-Potter-Fieber).
Als nächstes wurde mir die Ecole gegen Ende meines zehnten
Schuljahres wieder in Erinnerung gerufen. Ein Schulwechsel stand an
und meine Klassenlehrerin schlug uns vor, die Ecole d’Humanité in
unsere Überlegungen einzubeziehen. Das Ergebnis dessen war, dass
zwar nicht ich, aber meine Freundin Annabelle sich dazu entschied,
an die Ecole zu gehen.
In den Folgenden drei Jahren bekam ich also von ihr immer
mehr von dieser Schule erzählt. Und bei meinen zwei Besuchen –
einmal bei einem Sommerfest und einmal im Wintertrimester zum
Skifahren – konnte ich etwas Ecole-Atmosphäre live erleben.
Meine Eindrücke: wunderbare Aussicht direkt auf die Alpen,
beeindruckende Kunstausstellungen und Musikvorführungen, eine
enorme Vielfalt an Kursangeboten, viele verschiedene Nationen und
Kulturen, eine Menge Spaß bei der Singgemeinde und natürlich ein
Skigebiet direkt vor der Haustür! – Ich war durchaus neidisch an
diesem besonderen Ort zur Schule zu gehen.
Das ich nun doch hier bin, habe ich einem spontanen Einfall
auf dem Fahrrad zu verdanken. In den Osterferien besuchte mich
Annabelle und wir waren gerade mit unseren Rädern unterwegs zu
mir nach Hause, als sie meinte ich könne mich doch nach meinem
Abitur bei der Ecole als Helferin bewerben. Meine bisherigen Eindrücke von dieser Schule und die Lage mitten in den Alpen überzeugten
mich rasch von Annabelles Idee.
Fast alle ersten Eindrücke von meinen zwei Besuchen habe ich
bestätigt gefunden. Das einzige, was ich noch nicht erleben konnte
sind die Vorzüge des Wohnens inmitten eines Skigebiets, aber auch
das wird hoffentlich nicht mehr lange auf sich warten lassen.
Zu den Ersteindrücken haben sich dann noch viele weitere
hinzugesellt. Ich freue mich, hier so viele verschiedene, interessante
und offene Menschen kennenzulernen! Sei es unter den HelferInnen, in meiner Familie im Waldhaus, unter SchülerInnen oder
MitarbeiterInnen. Und es freut mich, auf wie viel Hilfsbereitschaft
und gegenseitige Unterstützung man täglich an der Ecole stößt.
Trotzdem bedeutete das Leben in solch einer Gemeinschaft
erst einmal eine große Umstellung für mich. Es war sehr ungewohnt
und oft auch anstrengend durchgehend an der Ecole zu sein, und
eben nicht am Nachmittag nach Hause zu kommen, wo es doch
ruhiger ist. Eine weitere Eigenschaft des Ecole-Lebens: Es gibt hier
immer etwas zu tun. Langeweile scheint den Hasliberg zu meiden
und an manchen Tagen muss ich geradezu mit einer Lupe nach
kleinen Zeitfenstern im vollen Programm suchen. Dafür blicke ich
dann abends aber auch auf einen ereignisreichen Tag zurück.
Ich genieße die Zeit hier an der Ecole sehr, ebenso wie die
tollen Berge und Kletterfelsen rundherum, und bin schon sehr
gespannt darauf, dies alles bald in Schnee gehüllt zu erleben.

MATT MORISSON H 2009–'10
JONAS MILLER-STOCKIE H 2014–'15
I arrived fresh from High School. Small town British Columbia, I'd
had a few chances to live away from home for a month or two at
a time. I sheepishly took the gondola up from Meiringen with my
bike that I had brought over from Canada, as my sister, dad and I
did a bike trip before the school year, and my year as a Helper was
to start. Not speaking a work of German (or Schweizer Deutsch),
feeling nervously excited, I walked my bike off the lift into Reuti and
started what I had concluded, was the way to the Ecole. Winding my
way along the narrow road, in total awe of the life I was about to
enter, it felt like stumbling into a dream world that I had built over
the months of imagining what this place was like.
Every moment of my time as a helper at the Ecole was transformative. Our hilarious dynamics as a collection of odd balls and
keen learners from all over the world squished us into some of the
closest and most nourishing, inspiring and challenging situations
I have been in. The Ecole has a magic that anyone who is reading
this knows, and that magic has remained deep inside of me. I long
for it regularly, and anticipate my return.
I feel so fortunate to have worked and lived with the people
I did at my one short year living in the mighty presence of the
Rosenhorn and its impressive companions. The Bieri Klug, Luthi
Peterson Haus-family welcomed me into their home and lives with
such grace and kindness, I have rarely felt such immediate and strong
connection to a place and its people.
I only have my perspective, but the helper at the Ecole has it
Matt and Yul (3) on the couch
pretty good. This transit zone of student and worker is captured
in such a beautiful balance by the Helper and the flexibility of
the teachers and staff that put up with the growing pains of such
awkward years. Working daily to earn one's keep, with evenings for
learning, socializing, playing and adventure provide a near perfect
platform for building one's capacity for awe and wonder of the
world. Constant opportunities for growth, while the freedom to take
space and not feel burdened by the pressure of formal education
provide a platform for finding one's self that is sure to at least tell
you something you need to know.
What a treat! What a privilege. I know and hope the days of
wandering up to the Sportsplatz and into the forest are not over.
That the afternoons of swerving on and off piste into the pillows of
snowy joy will, with hope, recreate themselves. The lessons I learned,
the friendships formed, the transformative year of channeling my
naive youth into a constant project of learning and growth through
the wonderful ways of the Ecole have never, for a moment been
lost on me, and I know it every day. Helpers have it good, but magic
steeps in no matter where you are in the Hasliberg. No matter how
you came to be placed in the grace and beauty of the Alps, their
people, and the Geheeb-Schule family.
See you again,
Much love,
Matt
When I came to the Ecole, I came with what I thought was an open
mind and heart. I thought I knew what a community was and who
my friends were. I came with one suitcase, my hiking bag and my skis.
The first few weeks were so strange to me, I didn’t understand any
German let alone Swiss-German. I remember the first time meeting
Yul, Eno and Jan Andri or ‘my kids’ as I called them. All the Mitarbeiter kids were jumping on the trampoline and I decided to join in.
It was so funny trying to communicate with Yul and Eno before we
formed our own Germ-English dialect. When it came time for the
Helpers to choose families I was leaning towards the May family,
but when I found out how much Yul wanted to have me as Helper,
I changed my mind. Looking back I think that was the best fit for
me and for our family. I don’t think I could have been any happier
with anyone else. I enjoyed every second even with our spaghetti
fights, all the ignored bedtime warnings and the countless efforts
to get the boys to clean their rooms.
When times were hard, Yul always put a smile on my face.
When I was frustrated with Yul, Eno was there to talk him into
listening. When Eno wouldn’t listen to me, Jann Andri would slap
him around. And when all else failed I wrestled them all to the
ground and made them smell my feet until they were obedient. I
the

became comfortable with my new family and really found trust,
care and love in them. When I had a question I couldn’t answer,
Guido was always there with a cup of coffee and years of wisdom.
When I needed help with anything or just a hug, Chantal was there
the whole time. During my time at the Ecole, I truly felt a sense of
community full of diversity and ability and love, something which I
have never felt in my life. I left the Ecole with so many things: new
friends and a family who I will keep up with my whole life, hobbies
I never thought I’d enjoy so much like skiing and climbing, and so
much more.
Best memories
When I went sledding from Käserstatt to Lischen with Yul,
Lukey, and Annie. We accidentally ended up on the ski piste while
looking for the sled piste and got yelled at but had a great time.

Taking Yul to the gondola for soccer practice on scooters in
the pouring rain. No matter how bad the circumstance, we always
managed to have a great time. Those trips with Yul really taught me
to appreciate how lucky I was to be at the Ecole.

The Ecole of My Heart
What my year as a Helper taught me
SOO LEE TAN H 2003–'04
In the nineteenth year of my life, being a helper was by far the easiest and hardest thing I had done. Years later, with the assistance of
a friend I call Retrospect, it has also been the best thing I’ve done.
The easiest part was saying yes to the position and making the best
friends of my life. The hardest part was leaving my boyfriend (now
husband) in France.
It was twelve years ago when I first stepped foot onto the
Hasliberg. I remember arriving feeling lost, lovesick and culture
shocked to the core.
Looking out the window of the train I took from Geneva was
like watching a flipbook of stunning images pass my disbelieving
eyes. Turquoise lakes, golden fields, green rivers and massive mountains flicked past my young, adventure-hungry eyes.
The Hasliberg was bigger than anything I’d ever seen. Knowing
this place would be my home for the next twelve months frightened
and excited me at the same time. Tall, bespectacled Regula was the
first to greet me. As soon as I offloaded my luggage in Haupthaus
she whipped out her camera for a ‘first day’ pic and in my jetlagged
awkwardness I was forced to smile.
I remember meeting my helper team for the first time. We sat
in the gallery and played some getting to know you type games
with KC and Regula. I had trouble understanding fellow helper Sara’s
Welsh accent. There was a bizarre moment. She said she’d come
from the apple. The apple? Us non-Welsh helpers looked at each
other for translations. The ahhh-pple she said again, insisting that
somehow her emphasis would assist us. I thought she loved fruit.
Really loved fruit. Then someone picked it up. I think she means
the airport. A sigh of relief and understanding overwhelmed the
group. The realisation that we weren’t going to spend the year with
a fruit bat consoled us.
I was assigned to be the helper for Kathinka and Martin’s family
and I also helped Frau Stein. For those who need clarification, being
a helper is similar to being an au pair. The helper’s main role is to
help family heads with the daily running of their household. This
might include anything and everything from babysitting, dishwashing, ironing, and sweeping to dog walking, or picking up groceries
from Meiringen. In this busy mix we were also allowed to sign up for
one morning course and some afternoon courses. In my opinion it
was a pretty sweet deal for a gap year. A balance of work and education with enough money to keep my Swiss chocolate fund running!
Our helper group developed a steadfast bond and that bond
has lasted since we left in the summer of 2004. What contributed
to our closeness? Several factors. Laughing, loving, fighting, talking,
groaning, celebrating, putzing (LOTS of putzing) and – my favourite
part – just living together. I loved the multinational vibe of our group
– Australia, Holland, Canada, Wales, Germany, Pakistan and the US.
I’m sure we picked up funny habits from each other. At one point I
was addicted to super strong British tea (tar black and three times
stronger than my own tea bags). When I came home I realised I was
expressing my surprise by saying “Oh man!” and “Dude!” countless
times. I had also learned the best Dutch word ever – “gezelling”, plus
a bunch of rude words! A fail on my part was not turning my helper
HelferInnen
friends into a group of Vegemite lovers. But I tried. I really did try.
We groaned about so many things together: Our insistent
friend the 6am gong, the endless putzing (putzpause, grossputz
and the mother of all putzes MEGAPUTZ – my husband still thinks
it’s hilarious), slipping on ice, our measly allowance, potatoes again
for lunch, for dinner… and we laughed about the things that made
us groan. I happened to have the funniest roommate in the history
of funny roommates. Her name was Megan and she cracked me
up all the time. Hitting her head first thing in the morning on the
beams of our slanted-roof bedroom ceiling in Wagenschein Haus
started each day of hilarity. We revelled in the breathtaking mountains, afternoon courses, receiving mail from loved ones, gorging
on chocolate from Migros, and discovering the ups and downs of
Ecole life together. We fell on icy steps, on icy slopes, on the ski
fields, off sleds, off skis, off snowboards… there was a lot of falling
on my part. But there was good falling too. We all fell in love with
the mountains. We missed our families and boyfriends together, we
missed the freedoms of living independently, we missed waking up
without an alarm (or gong), we missed potato chips that weren’t
paprika flavoured. There was a whole lot of missing and crying and
it drew us closer together. It also made the celebrations we had
together a whole lot more meaningful! Because over time we re-
13
alised that something beautiful and special had happened: we had
become each other’s family.
At the end of the year we had a farewell barbeque at Regula’s
house. Our time at the Ecole was rapidly winding up and a sense
of freedom was looming because most of us were returning to our
largely unscheduled lives (i.e. uni student lives). Regula took this
opportunity to whip her camera out again. A few days later, she
presented us each with a before/after scrapbook shot. The difference between my two portraits was striking. The first photo showed
a kid who barely looked at the camera and smiled without purpose.
In the second photo I am looking directly into the lens displaying
a confident smile that is ready to embrace the world! In those two
pictures I saw someone who’d done a lot of growing up, someone
who’d found a purpose.
I think that’s what encapsulates the Ecole for me and a lot of
other people who are fortunate enough to call themselves Ecolianers. It’s about how this community nurtures and strengthens human
connections and maintains them across continents. And through
this living environment, a unique love and respect for the world,
our environment and its people is also nurtured and strengthened.
It’s for these reasons I like to call the Ecole d’Humanité “l’ecole de
mon coeur”.
“…more impact than I thought…”
RACHEL BORREGO H 2014–'15
The Ecole impacted me more than I ever thought because I had no
expectation of what it would show me. I went to the Hasliberg just
happy to be there, and I was welcomed as if I were an old friend. I was shown by example through leadership in my family
exactly what community and support looked like on a consistent
daily basis. I was able to see myself through the eyes of people
who had such unconditional love for me, which allowed me to do
the same for others. I was able to put all my time and energy for others into this
community and what I got back in return impacted my view on how
I see myself and the world. My time at the Ecole instilled a strong
value for patience with others, and has shown me the impact of
intention. I was a helper for a beautiful family that gave me a foundation
for building strong relationships. Haus Kathrin and the Jaschoks
supported and loved me so consistently; they showed me how
unique each person is and how everyone brings something new and
important to the table. How if you take time to see each person as
an individual, it completely changes how you see others and how
they see themselves. While at the Ecole I developed a passion for
outdoor education, and learning through doing. At the Ecole I was able to find myself while being surrounded
by so much love, which is something I will always be grateful for.
The Ecole will always be an old friend, and when I return I know it
will be with open arms. A pre-digital-era picture of the 2003–2004 helpers

KARIN HEUGEN (FORMERLY ZWOLS), H 1983–'84
It must have been August, 1983, a train station in The Netherlands,
friends, parents and new helpers. We were a group of 7 helpers
from The Netherlands and most of us travelled together for the big
Swiss adventure. We didn’t know where we were going to, we didn’t
know what to expect, we didn’t know much. Sure we had talked
to former helpers, sure we had seen pictures, and yes, we all read
the Ecole guide. We are only eighteen and much younger than any
eighteen year old nowadays.
It was tough to get adjusted to Ecole life. As a helper I felt
lonely, parked between students and Mitarbeiter. I was lucky I came
to the Ecole with my best friend from school, and even though we
went through some hard times, we enjoyed ourselves. We shared
a room at the Turm House and we loved the squeeky floors and
the oldness of it.
My family helped me feel at home at the Ecole. It took a while,
but at some point, my family with Michael Binder, Bettina, Heidi,
Sarah, Holly, Dres and Franz became like real family. We had great
Familienabenden, cooking, laughing, just talking and so on.
My job started in the kitchen. I remember the very early
morning breakfast shift, cooking porridge and making tea. I have
fond memories of Dres, preparing us a nice lunch, which often differed from lunch served to students and staff. Frau Anderegg was
a women from one of the villages who helped run the kitchen and
who we all liked, though she kept us working at high speed. Never
a dull moment when she was around, talking, talking, talking.
During my year at the Ecole, I took French class with Alain
Richard. I remember he was amazed at the level of French I spoke,
coming from a state school. I enjoyed the hours reading Jean Paul
Sartre and Françoise Sagan.
Whenever we could, we went out hiking. The money we took
from home was spent on hiking boots. Our weekends off started
with an early breakfast and then we went. We just walked, not
knowing where the road would take us. The roadsigns were the
only guide we had. We went to Lungern, Planplatten, Interlaken,
drank hot chocolate on the way and shared a cake with the little
money we had.
And than winter came. I remember the morning, just before
the Christmas break, we woke up and discovered the first snow.
Excited! It wouldn’t be long before we would learn how to ski. And
after Christmas, when we returned to the Hasliberg, we stopped
hiking and spent every free moment racing down the slopes.
After Easter, we moved house and stayed with Pidi. We had
a real room, with a real warm shower and a bath. Pidi was great.
She would sometimes just enter our room, look at us, smile and
leave again. She allowed us to bake apple pies in her kitchen and
we felt great.
The year went by and summer came. Students left, Mitarbeiter
left and all helpers joined forces to clean up before the summer
break. And who would have thought that we did not want to leave
the Hasliberg. We had fallen in love with it all. How different it was
from when we left for Christmas.
Still now, 31 years after I returned to The Netherlands, I can’t
really explain what it was, but Switzerland, Berner Oberland, the
Hasliberg, Goldern and the Ecole have taken a special place in my
heart. I went back four times, twice with my family. I had to show
them why my eyes light up when I talk about the Ecole. I had to
show them the place that for sure has made me the person I am
now. How did this happen? I often wonder. I may romanticize things
when I look back. Did I forget about the cold showers and the porridge in the morning? Definitely not, but as long as the positive
moments win it from the lesser moments, even cold showers can
make one feel warm.
I could go on for a while longer, but I will end this by repeating
the last song that ended the last Andacht that year: ‘Do you know
where you’re going to’… I guess we never know where we are going
to, we plan and just go, making the best of whatever we do, with
whomever we meet…
My name is Joshua Nash. I currently live and work in Vancouver as
an IT Project Manager for an international utility management company. I was a helper at the Ecole d'Humanite during the 2001-2002
school year, over 13 years ago now. Time sure does fly. That year at
the Ecole still stands out for me as one of the most memorable in
my life, and without a doubt has had a significant impact in shaping who I've become, influencing my decisions, what I value, am
passionate about and shifting the course of my life.
Life in the Alps was exciting. We lived with a small group of
fun, forwarding thinking and positive people that valued community,
creativity, the arts, outdoors, individualism and genuinely wanted
the best for others; not just themselves. People at the Ecole came
from all over the globe and from all walks of life. I learned to think
about culture, music, food, religion, politics and the world, in new
ways as I was influenced by others with different perspectives than
my own and my mind was opened. I connected and grew friendships
with people from the US, Taiwan, Japan, Italy, Germany, Britain,
France, Sweden, Russia, Spain and Switzerland. We ate, hiked, skied,
created and laughed together. The camaraderie and friendships we
built were extraordinary, and some continue to this day. Life at the
Ecole represents so much of how we are intended to live: creatively,
simply and in community.
As a helper I learned the importance of serving others. There
were eight of us helpers. 3 from Canada, 2 from Switzerland, 1 from
Britain and 1 from Sweden. We bonded and many of us keep in
touch to this day. I think the others would agree when I say, as a
helper you learn what real work and serving others is all about. We
worked long hours, some days as many as 12 and and some weeks
we worked right through to Sunday. We cleaned, made sure the
Ski hike, January 2002
At the “Pöschtli”
students behaved at meals, gardened, did laundry, dishes, took care
of small children and more. We helped where we were needed. In
return we received some pocket money, room and board and an
alpine ski pass with rentals. But there was so much more. When I
look back now, the compensation was very generous and perhaps
greater than any compensation I have ever received from any company I've worked for. The hiking, skiing, mountain climbing, guitar
lessons, language lessons, lifelong friendships and experiences are
irreplaceable.
Recreating the Ecole wherever I go. Three years ago a few
friends and myself launched a fitness and health organization in
Vancouver. We named it EnduroFit because we believe endurance
was crucial to everything we do from fitness, relationships, life's challenges and ultimately reaching our goals and dreams. At EnduroFit,
our goal is to create a fun and safe environment for our members,
with community being central to all we do. We believe more and
more people these days, despite technology, feel less and less
connected, loved and appreciated. Our membership has gone from
just 10 members to over 70 in just 3 years. We know that life is all
about relationships and having good people in our lives. EnduroFit
owes its growth to community being above everything else that
we aim to achieve. We are this way because of the significant role
community played on my life during the year I spent at the Ecole.
The Ecole is an incredible place. My advice for anyone that
is considering attending the Ecole as a student, or working as a
teacher or helper, is to seriously consider it. As with anything that
is worth while, you'll need to make some adjustments and put in
some hard work, but the reward is more than worth it. The Ecole
will change your life for the better, and help you become the person
you were intended to be.

Hoher Besuch
aus Bern
Danach hielt er einen kleinen Vortrag zu «Wagenschein in
der Schule von heute» in dessen Anschluss ein lebhafter Austausch stattfand. (der Vortrag selbst kann auf der Homepage des
Wagenschein-Archivs «www.martin-wagenschein.de/1/1-3/Vortrag
23 01 15.pdf» nachgelesen werden.) Kurz, es war ein sehr gelungener,
lehrreicher Nachmittag.
Und… für das Wintertrimester 2016 hat sich Prof. Aeschlimann
bereit erklärt, noch einmal zu kommen und mit uns ein anderes
Thema von Wagenschein zu bearbeiten.
An der Ecole gibt es ja nicht nur das Wagenschein-Haus und ein
Wagenschein-Archiv, einige Lehrpersonen versuchen auch immer
wieder, die Grundsätze Wagenscheins in ihren Unterricht einzubauen – das wirkliche Verstehen zu lehren, das es den Lernenden
ermöglicht, dieses wirklich Verstandene auch später anzuwenden.
Martin Wagenschein war seit dem Beginn seiner Berufstätigkeit mit Geheebs befreundet und bekam durch seine neunjährige
Tätigkeit an der Odenwaldschule wesentliche Impulse für seine Didaktik. Da die Ecole sein Haupterbe war, ermöglichte er nach seinem
Tod (1988) den Bau des Geheeb-Hauses, nicht des WagenscheinHauses, das gab es schon früher .
Wir freuen uns auf das Wintertrimester und sind gespannt, welches Thema Professor Aeschlimann dann mit uns bearbeiten wird.

Am Freitag, den 23. Januar kam Professor Dr. Dr. Ueli Aeschlimann von der Universität Bern an die Ecole, um für interessierte
MitarbeiterInnen zu Martin Wagenschein, dem Mathematik- und
Physikdidaktiker, einen Weiterbildungsnachmittag durchzuführen.
Professor Aeschlimann ist wohl der profundeste Wagenschein-Kenner im schweizerischen Raum. Vor 15 Jahren war er
Mitarbeiter der Ecole. Ein Schwerpunkt seiner Universitätsarbeit
ist die Wagenschein-Pädagogik. Darum ging es auch an diesem
Nachmittag. Mit viel Information und Humor zeigte er in kurzen
Sequenzen, wie er seinen Studierenden Einblick in den Unterricht
nach Wagenschein gibt.

Enthusiasm for Math
KEN RUSSELL MA since 2015
Frustration and despair are typically features of mathematics education which are avoided. And yet they are emotions which students
should learn to encounter and overcome. Math is such a stressful
subject for some students that it has become essential as a math
teacher to centre on maintaining students’ confidence and optimism
in the subject. As a consequence it changes the subject from one of
discovery to one of pure process - every step is explained in advance;
our young people are guided through set problems and led by the
hand. This enables the teaching of advanced mathematics topics,
but does not mean that students are using advanced mathematical
thinking. And, I wonder, whether the original subject is as scary as
the one created?
Mathematics is sucked dry of everything that makes it so
great. Gone is the imagination, and gone is the feeling of joy that
comes from the determination to solve that which has never been
seen before. This joy only comes about as a result of the frustration and despair in the same way that the joy of reaching the crest
of a mountain pass differs depending on whether you spent two
days getting to this point, or if you took the gondola. I began this
project to see how students would respond to the act of doing real
mathematics. It was to be open to all, students and teachers, in
German and English, and reliant not on skills learnt in the classroom
but on imagination.
I first introduced the idea in our weekly Schulgemeinde and
was immediately struck by the enthusiasm. Students came up to
me afterwards, shaking my hand and thanking me. The enthusiasm
remained, with people signing out late at night to work on the
problems. Some of the problems have been seen before - the first
for example required finding the formula for area of a triangle. Many
students had this explained to them years ago, but discovering it
for themselves required quite a different set of skills. Problems that
are easy to understand are often very difficult to solve: why don’t
you try this one that we’re working on right now… How big is the
circle relative to the square?

Sometimes life takes unexpected turns… We were all set for a romantic getaway to San Francisco
last Valentine's Day including a planned weekend for our two girls with their grandparents and tickets to the once-in-a-lifetime art exhibit by Ai Wei Wei at Alcatraz Island. Instead, I (Sylvan) found
myself at an international school job fair in San Francisco where my family and I would make the
life-changing decision to move from San Luis Obispo, California to the Hasliberg to live and work at
the Ecole. I had been working as a Social Studies teacher and administrator at a private Catholic
college-preparatory school for eleven years, and my incredible wife of fi fteen years, Francine, had
directed teen health and prevention programs for over fi fteen years. For the last five years, she had
been running programs funded by a federal grant awarded by the Office of Adolescent Health that
had been created as part of President Obama’s health care reform. We had a wonderful life in a community that had recently been named the "happiest place on earth," but change is good and it was
time for a change!
At the Ecole, I am now serving as the Dean of Academics of the US program and teaching AP World
History. Francine is overseeing the Helpers at the Ecole, serving on the team addressing issues
relating to student life on campus, and teaching sports programs and cooking classes. Among the
more exciting things about our move are the opportunities it presents for our daughters, Lunabella
(10) and Anisa (7). The idea of exposing them to a dynamic international and progressive community was quite hard to pass up (along with life in the Alps, four truly distinctive seasons, and the
travel opportunities offered by living abroad in central Europe). It has been a thrill to watch them
adapt so easily to life at the Ecole and to manage the challenges of the “Dorfschule” where they are
learning not just the Swiss curriculum, but to speak and understand German as well. We are marveling as we watch them become more independent, more open to the outdoors, and more willing to
walk when they want to go somewhere. No matter what is in our family’s future, we know that this
chapter of our life will be an unforgettable one and it has already taught us never to think that one
knows what lies ahead.

the Canadian Prairies. I arrived in Switzerland in 1992 to study at the C.G. Jung
Institute in Zürich. Prior to coming to
Zürich, I got a B.A. in Sociology and French
from the University of Saskatchewan. I
worked in Toronto and then in Winnipeg
with Statistics Canada as Project Leader

I'm excited to be here with my husband and two children. I have a bachelors degree in French and
Spanish from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, teacher certification in English as a Second
language, French, and Spanish from the university is Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a Masters degree
in Education from Mount Mary College. I have been teaching French and Spanish in a US high school
since 2000. I'm thrilled to be here at the Ecole, living and working in such a different environment.
Tim Madler
Tim is a history and German teacher, who has lived and taught in Wisconsin for the past 20 years.
As a Luxembourg national Tim was educated in the US. He completed his undergraduate degree at
the University of Iowa and his Master's degrees at the University of Illinois in Urbana. In his freetime Tim likes to cook, bike, read, garden and spend time with his dog. Passionate about the outdoors and the environment he was thrilled to move with his family to the Hasliberg in the summer
of 2015. Tim is teaching history and German as a foreign language in the American system. He also
offers teaching basketball, hiking and ultimate frisbee in the afternoon. So far his biggest challenge
has been understanding Swiss German!
Sheila
We have been around different places in the world and now we have arrived in Switzerland at the
Ecole.
My professional background is straightforward. I completed my legal studies in Britain and Germany. Through my husband I was introduced to education and I left the legal world behind and
took on different roles in boarding schools, primarily in Admissions and as a Houseparent.
At the Ecole I am the University Advising Coordinator and I support our Admissions Team.
With my husband we are family heads of “Haus am Hang” and we live there with our three year
old son Neil.
In my leisure time I like to row, swim and play with my son. I also enjoy cooking, primarily Indian.
Cornelius is originally from Hamburg, Germany. He obtained an MA in History and Politics from
Heidelberg University, and a bilingual teaching qualification from the University of Nottingham.
Having found his calling in teaching relatively late, he is also a trained paramedic and published
feminist, holding a PhD in Sociology. An experienced boarding educator, he has lived and worked
in a number of countries, such as Poland, England, Germany, and, most recently, Singapore.
Cornelius enjoys Polish poetry, running, hiking, playing board games and sharing Asian food, in
articular Thai, Sichuan and Indian.

Tom Sampson
My name is Tom and I’m from Penarth, Wales. My background and passion has always been
in the outdoors. This passion started from a young age and has grown into a way of life for
me. I worked as an outdoor instructor in the Brecon Beacons, a national park in the Welsh
mountains. Here I taught a variety of activities including canoeing, kayaking, caving, climbing and hiking. I decided to further develop my profession in the outdoors and graduated
from Liverpool John Moors university in 2010 with a degree in outdoor and environmental education. I then went on to work with the UAE Military for a year, before returning to
Wales and establishing myself as a freelance instructor. Before joining the Ecole I worked as
a duty manager at the Cardiff International White Water centre.
Working here in the heart of the Alps as the outdoor program manager is a dream job for
me. I love being able to work, live and play in the mountains, whilst helping to develop the
amazing outdoor program here at the Ecole. I have enjoyed being able to introduce mountain
biking into the summer afternoon course schedule and look forward to exploring and expanding all the other possibilities that lay before the outdoor program at the Ecole.

Abschied von Rosemarie Varga
MA 1953–2015
1. Teil – Das Leben
Ich sitze in der Ecole-Bibliothek und denke an die Anfänge im
Sommer 1990 zurück, als wir uns das erste Mal in deinem Büro
im Haupthaus begegnet sind. In diesem Raum habe ich anschliessend fast 20 Jahre lang, jeden Mittwochnachmittag, drei Stunden
mit dir verbracht. Du hast mich in die Arbeit einer Bibliothekarin
eingeführt. Zuerst in das alte, von dir entwickelte System, mit zwei
Karteikarten pro Buch, um dann 1992, gleichzeitig mit der Eröff fnung der neuen Ruth Cohn Bibliothek in das internationale Dewey
System zu wechseln (mit bis zu sieben Karteikarten pro Buch).
Um das neue System zu lernen, hast du fünf Tage einen Kurs in
Bern besucht und mir anschliessend dein Wissen weitervermittelt.
In den ersten zwei Jahren meiner Lernzeit bei dir war dein
Lieblingswort «indiskutabel». Mit der Zeit hat sich dieses «indiskutabel» zu einer echten, warmherzigen Zusammenarbeit
entwickelt, bis ich schlussendlich nach 18 Jahren die Leitung der
deutschen Bibliothek von dir übernommen habe.
Wie oft haben wir zusammen gelacht. Nie werde ich vergessen, als dein neuer Computer in einer Endlosschlaufe mit schmalziger Musik , die sich immer wiederholte, gefangen war, wir einen
tränenreichen Lachkrampf nach dem anderen «erleiden» mussten
und nicht mehr aufhören konnten, bis Heinz Zenger uns zu Hilfe
eilte und uns erlöste. Am nächsten Tag hatte ich Bauchmuskelkater! Oder dass Rigmor Poeschel uns manchmal besuchte und wir
zusammen Tee tranken, den neuesten Ecole-Klatsch besprachen
oder über Gott und die Welt diskutierten, ihr «Alten» auch des
öfteren Ecole-Erinnerungen austauschten. Ja, dein Wissen war unerschöpflich, dein Gedächtnis ein Computer. Namen, Menschen
die dir Nahe standen, Ereignisse, die Schule seit ihren Anfängen
betreffend, waren alle da gespeichert und abrufbar.
Zweimal pro Jahr fuhren wir nach Bern in den Bibliothekarsdienst, um beladen mit den neuesten Büchern und Material für die
Verarbeitung zurückzukommen. Aber diese Fahrten mit dir hatten
es in sich und bleiben mir mit gemischten Gefühlen in Erinnerung.
Du bist gerne Auto gefahren, aber du fuhrst schnell, sehr schnell
und rassig, als ob du bei einem Autorennfahrer Fahrstunden gehabt
hättest. Tunnels mochtest du nicht, deswegen ging die Fahrt meistens am rechten Brienzersee-Ufer entlang bis Interlaken. Später,
als deine Sehkraft nachliess, war es kein einfacher Entscheid für
dich, auf das Auto zu verzichten.
Was uns auch noch verbunden hat, war die französische
Sprache. Wir haben uns oft über unsere Lehrmethoden, über
Lehr- und Lesebücher oder SchülerInnen ausgetauscht, bei dir zu
Hause in der Stube. Immer waren Gutzli, Schöggeli oder sonst
was zu knabbern auf dem Tisch und ein Blumenstrauss auf der
Kommode beim Fenster.
Natürlich nicht zu vergessen ist auch der Wiener Eiskaffee
im Gletscherblick, nicht auf der Menu Karte zu finden und speziell
für uns zubereitet.
Und dann kam das grosse Unglück, dein Schlaganfall, der
alles für dich verändert hat und du deinen geliebten Hasliberg
verlassen musstest. Einseitig gelähmt, bettlägerig, abhängig von
anderen Menschen.

unserer Seele zu entfalten
URSA PAUL
In den letzten 1 ½ Jahren deines Lebens haben wir viele persönliche Gespräche geführt, auch über das Leben, das Sterben,
deine (unsere) Ängste vor dem Tod, vor der Ungewissheit, vor dem
grossen Nichts, das doch alles ist.
Du bist im letzten Jahr deines Lebens zwischen den Welten
hin und her gependelt.
Du durftest auch erfahren, was nur den wenigsten Menschen vergönnt ist, nämlich die Gewissheit, dass du nach deinem
Uebergang erwartet wirst. Einmal, als ich dich fragte, was denn
noch an Unerledigtem da ist, was dich noch zurückhält war deine
Antwort: «ich kann doch jetzt nicht Abschied nehmen und gehen.
Seit einem Monat ist meine Familie, sind meine Eltern, meine
Geschwister wieder alle zusammen und besuchen mich.» (Sie sind
im 2. Weltkrieg in Auschwitz umgekommen, Rosemarie konnte nie
Abschied nehmen und wusste jahrelang als Kind nicht, wo ihre
Mutter, ihre Geschwister waren). Dein Lächeln, als dir bewusst
wurde, dass es nicht ums Abschiednehmen ging, sondern dass
sie gekommen sind, um dich willkommen zu heissen vergesse ich
so wenig wie deine schwierigen Zeiten des Leidens, des Haderns,
Zeiten des Schlafens und Zeiten des Wachseins, aber auch Zeiten
des Humors, des einseitig-schiefen Schmunzelns, Zeiten der schönen Erinnerungen, Zeiten der Verwirrtheit und Zeiten des klaren
Denkens … auf und ab, auf und ab.
Am Donnerstag, drei Tage vor deinem Tod, habe ich dich
besucht und auf meine Frage, ob du noch Angst vor dem Sterben
hast, war deine Antwort: «Nein, nein, aber ich bin so müde und
mein Kopf ist ganz leer.»
Am Sonntag bis du im Beisein deiner Tochter Nurit und deiner
Enkeltochter Judith friedlich eingeschlafen.
Ich möchte diesen Bericht abschliessen mit einer Bitte von
Rosemarie, die sie anlässlich eines meiner Besuche vorgebracht
hat: «Kannst du allen Menschen, die ich kenne und welchen
ich absichtlich oder unabsichtlich weh getan habe oder die ich
verletzt habe, sagen, dass ich mich entschuldige. Ich bitte sie, mir
zu vergeben.»
Und hiermit möchte ich mein Versprechen einlösen

Dear Rosemarie…
My visits to you during the Christmas holidays were only
pleasant. No criticism then! Usually you were surrounded by
family members and friends. I was always offered tea and coffee
and a plate with Stollen or Christmas cookies, and sat down on
the short couch in front of the round table to enjoy the warm
atmosphere and lively discussions.
There are two talks I wish to mention specifically, because
you helped me so much at a time when I needed support.
In my first trimester as a Mitarbeiter, even though I had
been a student and knew the Ecole so well, I was struggling and
often unhappy with my life as a teacher. One evening I sat with
you in your living room and poured my heart out. You listened
well and then told me about your start in Goldern. You said you
were often so unhappy that you never unpacked all your bags,
and often felt on the verge of packing everything! You said that
you fully unpacked your bags when students who had been in
your family began coming back to visit you. That was when you
knew that all the hard work and frustration was worth it, and you
settled in for the long haul.
The second time you helped me emotionally was after the
avalanche I set off, that ripped the Ecole community with grief and
anger. Your clear, calm compassion and unwavering caring for me
as an individual was important to me. Whatever I had done, you
still valued me as an old friend and colleague, and nothing would
change that. Thank you, dear Rosemarie, for that gift.
Do you know that the Ecole has asked me to organize the
reunion this year? Your reunion. The Ehemaligentreffen is your
baby, founded and carried by you for 15 years. I learned the ropes
from you in 1995, and carried the responsibility for it thereafter.
Many who come to the reunion this year will remember you, and
we will set aside a place to honor you and the other greats of your
generation who have passed on ahead of you in the last few years.
You worked long and hard for this school, Rosemarie. You
gave it your love, your fierceness, your sharp intelligence, your
unbelievable memory for details, your high standards, your seemingly limitless energy, and your 100% commitment to the ideals
of the Ecole. Rest now, my love. You deserve it.

In Memory of Rosemarie Varga MA 1953–2015
Dear Rosemarie,
Even though our relationship was always only in German, I know
that your English is excellent, so I’ll write today in my language, to
better express all that I have in my heart and mind.
I have known you for 45 years, dear Rosemarie! Of course
back then, as a 14-year-old boy, I would never have dreamed of
calling you Rosemarie. You were Frau Varga, one whom students
described as fierce and fearful, a dragon. Thus I always went into
the Haupthaus office with trepidation. I bought notebooks and
toothpaste from you or your secretary, afraid you would scold or
shout at me. But you never did!
I got my tickets for going home from you that first December,
1970. I had to enter the inner sanctum of your office to conduct
the important transaction of receiving the tickets for my journey
home to the U.S. My fear level rose a bit as I went in to meet with
you alone. You gave me my ticket and explained it to me. You told
me how to find the hotel room you had booked for me in Basel,
on my way to the airport in Luxembourg. You wished me a good
trip and happy holidays. I walked out thinking, “What are people
so afraid of? She’s quite all right.”
As a teenager I could tell that you were indeed a fierce woman, but I could tell even then that you were fair. You were always
respectful and helpful in all the matters that arose between us. In
my three years as a student, you never had an unkind word for me.
I can’t say the same is true of my 18 years as a Mitarbeiter!
As a member of the directorship of the Ecole, you had plenty of
criticism for me! Whenever I visited you, I first had to endure 15
minutes of sharp rebukes for all the ways in which our directorship and our staff were not doing things as you were convinced
they should be done. Once you’d gotten all that off your mind,
you were a most gracious and fascinating host. What a wonderful
story-teller you were! I loved hearing about the Ecole in earlier
days, and about the Geheebs, about Han Sen, and so much more.
And as for the criticism, there was much for me to learn from your
experience, much that past Ecole practices could teach us in the
modern times. One of my favorite lessons was, “I never used the
word “Rules” with the children,” you told me. “I just said, ‘This is
how we do things here.’”

The Edith Geheeb-Cassirer Foundation
Dear All
The Edith Geheeb-Cassirer Foundation is a tax exempt, non-profit
organization founded in the U.S. to provide scholarship support so
that U.S. students from all economic backgrounds have the opportunity to attend the Ecole d'Humanité. Because of a core group of
about 100 generous donors each year, giving at all levels from less
than a hundred dollars to many thousands of dollars, the foundation
is usually able to raise enough money to support one scholarship
per year. The foundation is operated entirely by volunteers who
take no salary, and so every year we are able to put all of the money
raised (minus the amount we spend on mailing our annual campaign
letter and some other modest operating expenses) directly into a
scholarship and into an endowment. The goal is to eventually grow
this endowment, the Natalie Luethi-Peterson Scholarship Fund, so
that it can sustainably fund a scholarship each year from the interest on the endowment.
From the names of the foundation and the endowment, you
can tell that one purpose of the organization is to honor the important contributions that Edith and Natalie made to the Ecole. I
am asking you to think of their commitment to the school and to
many, many students and teachers over the years in considering
this question: do you have some time to give to the foundation?
Personally, I find my work on the foundation rewarding because it gives me an opportunity to give something back to the
Ecole. I gained a lot from my few years spent on the Hasliberg—it
is part of who I am. I remember very well the one tea I had with
Edith when I was a new 12 year old student. She showed me pictures of Paul Geheeb in an album, and told me how walking in the
woods wild animals would come to him as if they were tame. More
importantly, she told me how she remembered my mother fondly
from when she was a student at the Ecole, and so she gave me a
heartfelt connection to the school and its history, and gave me a
sense of place and belonging there. Though she was nearing the
end of her life and was quite frail, she still took the time to get to
know new students like me and to attend Conference each day.
Today, working with other volunteers on the foundation, I get
to see each year that our efforts go into making something concrete: a scholarship for a student to attend the Ecole. The impact
of that goes beyond that individual scholarship student because,
after all, that student then becomes a contributing member of the
Ecole community and part of its unfolding story. And I continue to
nurture that part of myself that was given to me by teachers like
Edith and Natalie—by putting some intentions into practice, I help
to keep that legacy of wonderful teaching, and humane care for the
individual present and alive for the next generation of Ecolianers.
How about you? We have some important jobs that need to
be done, and we are looking for a few committed volunteers who
would be willing to spend what amounts to a few hours a year to
get the work done.
Job 1 We need someone who is comfortable with social
media, and who would be willing to help make the foundation more
dynamically present to former Ecolianers. We are not talking about
daily posts or tweets, but rather taking our message and fundraising
goals and opening an additional channel of communication to our
donors—especially to those of us who are immersed in the social
media universe. The idea is to increase our reach and keep alumni
engaged with the foundation and with the school.
Job 2 We need a future treasurer. Our current treasurer, June
Vinhateiro agreed to a two-year commitment for the treasurer role
after having served as the foundation’s president for many years. The
treasurer is an officer of the board, and while some organizational
skills are required, it’s not necessary to have experience in finance
– our financial advisor helps with that. The treasurer keeps track
of donations and provides tax letters to donors in the US, keeps
the records of our bank accounts and pays our bills, maintains the
bookkeeping system, and provides reports to the Board and to our
accountant. Because so much trust and responsibility is involved in
this position, it is expected that there would be a transition period
before this person fully assumed this role.
Job 3 Something we haven’t ourselves thought of, but that
you think could be really important in furthering our goals. If you
have a creative idea and the time and energy to put something
together, we are interested in hearing about it.
If this call to action resonates at all with you, or if you have
any questions, please contact me at:
[email protected].
I hope to hear from you.
All the best,
Tommy Turbyville

Hello Asia
JUNE VINHATEIRO
Nín hǎo and xièxie, “hello” and
“thank-you” – these are the two words
that have punctuated my autumn trip
to Asia, where I am visiting with Ecole
parents & alumni, educational agents &
consultants, and families who are interested in learning more about the Ecole
for their children’s schooling.
I’ve said 好 (hello) to new experiences, landscapes, tastes, and most
importantly, people. It’s given me great
pleasure to meet alumni and the parents of alumni in Taipei, Shanghai, and
Guangzhou. Current and former parents
have hosted receptions and provided
testimony to what the Ecole has meant to
their own families. Alumni have offered
interpretation service, and, in the case
of my own former students, big hugs!
With delight I’ve observed that the afterpresentation questions have not been for
me, but rather for the people who have
personally experienced the Ecole – our
alumni and parents. Families potentially
interested in the school have particularly
wanted to know how the Ecole has impacted alumni in their adult and professional lives. How wonderful it has been
that our alumni and parents have been
present to answer such questions with
authenticity and clarity!

Which brings me to 謝謝 (thankyou). Over and over again, I have heard
about the gratitude our alumni feel for
the inner strength and character they
attribute to their Ecole education. Some
have told me that they didn’t fully appreciate what the Ecole had given them until
they left the school. Others have spoken
of how the values and attention to balance they learned to embrace at school
have helped them in keeping apace of
challenging and busy professional lives
without losing themselves in the process.
Most have mentioned that ideas, ideals,
and interests around which they have
built their lives had their geneses in Ecole
classes, or in relationships with Family
Heads or other teachers. Current parents have used words like “confidence,”
“responsibility,” and “independence” in
describing the changes they’ve seen in
their children. And I have observed that
what has been true in my own family is
reflected in these Ecole families who
live half a world away from me – when
a student attends the Ecole, the whole
family gets an education.
I often remark that parents and
alumni are the Ecole’s most valuable
ambassadors, and this trip has been the
quintessential demonstration of that
sentiment. The generosity and generosity of spirit I’ve experienced have
touched me deeply, and with tremendous gratitude I say xièxie to Jason Yeh
and Jessie Chen, Andrew Yang, Hsun
Chou, Vick Chang, Joseph Chen, Victor
Chou, Stephen Chang, Liu Sheng Li, and
Lawrence and Cindy Shao. As I head off
on the next leg of my journey, I will be
sorry indeed to say zàijiàn to Asia.

Wie ein Stipendium ein Leben verändern kann
Mit dem Stipendienfonds bieten wir eine konkrete Möglich
keit an, zur angestrebten Chancengleichheit an der Ecole
d’Humanité beizutragen. Spenderinnen und Spender können
so rund 5% aller Schülerinnen und Schüler unterstützen.
Ohne Spenden wäre für sie der Aufenthalt an der Ecole nicht
möglich. Doch was bewirken diese Spenden eigentlich?
Senior Mats reflektiert für uns seine Erfahrungen an der
Ecole d’Humanité.
Was wolltest Du verändern?
Ich verbrachte nun den Grossteil meiner Freizeit damit,
Musik zu komponieren. Dabei entdeckte ich meine Freude
daran, als DJ zu begeistern. Plötzlich fand ich heraus, dass ich
für die Stöckli-Gruppe nominiert war. Und tatsächlich, ich
wurde ins Stöckli gewählt! Anders als frühere DJs war ich offen
gegenüber ganz unterschiedlichen Musikstilen. Wer keine
Grenzen kennt, findet auch in der Musik Zugang zu Neuem.
Danke Mats für Deine Bereitschaft, Deine Erfahrungen an
der Ecole zu reflektieren. Was bedeutet die Ecole für Dich?
Als ich an die Ecole kam, war ich noch ein Kind und vor
allem an Videospielen interessiert. Ich hatte fast keine Hobbies,
war scheu, und eher unsportlich. Aber all das hat sich jetzt verändert. Die Ecole hat so viel aus mir herausgeholt.
Dieser Gedanke gefällt mir gut. Aber ich kann mir vorstellen,
dass es auch Herausforderungen und Frustrationen gab.
Am besten gefiel mir die Herausforderung, dass nicht alle
Besucherinnen und Besucher die gleichen Vorlieben haben.
Mein Ziel als DJ war es, sie alle zufrieden zu stellen. Das war
schwierig für mich, aber ich habe mir dadurch ein neues Gefühl
für meine Kompositionen erarbeitet.
Es frustriert mich, wenn bei meinen Kompositionen nicht
das herauskommt, was ich mir erhofft habe. Dann versuche
ich die Frustration in Motivation umzuwandeln, bis ich das erwünschte Resultat erzielt habe. Ich habe später gelernt, dass
diese Methode nicht nur in der Musik, sondern auch bei akademischen Herausforderungen greift.
Ich kann mir kaum vorstellen, dass Du einmal scheu warst.
Wie hat sich das denn weiterentwickelt?
Nach einem Jahr an der Ecole hatte ich aufgehört, ständig
allen Menschen gefallen zu wollen. Ich hatte herausgefunden,
dass ich eine grossartige Passion für Musik habe, und dass ich
ein talentierter Kletterer und Snowboarder bin. Ich versuchte
mir Zeit zu nehmen, um das zu verändern, was verändert werden musste.
War die Musik also eine Art Türöffner für Dich?
Absolut. Meine Motivation und mein Privileg, mich in der
Musik engagieren zu dürfen, haben mir dabei geholfen herauszufinden, was ich im Leben erreichen will. Ich bin nun ein viel
besserer Schüler als zum Zeitpunkt meiner Ankunft. Also bewarb ich mich bei einem der top US-Colleges im Medienbereich.
Nun halte ich die Aufnahmebestätigung in meinen Händen.
Die Stiftung Ecole fördert Chancengleichheit
an der Ecole d’Humanité
»Ecole Stipendiatinnen und Stipendiaten sind für die Ecole eine wichtige
Bereicherung. Sie tragen zur kulturellen und sozialen Diversität bei, welche
die Ecole prägen. In einer sich leider verstärkt wieder abschottenden Welt

können. Herzlichen Dank allen Spenderinnen und Spendern für ihren aktiven
Beitrag zur Förderung der Chancengleichheit an der Ecole d’Humanité.«

Herzliche Gratulation! Und vielen Dank für Deine Zeit und

Gern geschehen. Ich öffnete mein Herz gegenüber den
Menschen, und sie öffneten ihr Herz für mich. Ich kann das
jedem weiterempfehlen.

Jahresbericht des Stiftungsrats zum Geschäftsjahr
35
1.8.2014–31.7.2015
Rückblick auf das Geschäftsjahr
Viele Spenderinnen und Spender haben uns auch im vergangenen Geschäftsjahr grosszügige Spenden zukommen
lassen. Dafür möchten wir uns ganz herzlich bedanken. Diese
Spenden ermöglichten uns, die Ecole d’Humanité durch Vergabe von Stipendien und Mitfinanzierung von Projekten im
Einklang mit dem Stiftungszweck tatkräftig zu unterstützen.
Ein wesentlicher Erfolgsfaktor war die vehement angestrebte
und anfangs Dezember 2014 eingetroffene Bestätigung der
Steuerverwaltung des Kantons Bern, dass unsere Stiftung
weiterhin steuerbefreit ist. Dies bedeutet, dass Spenden
an unsere Stiftung auch in Zukunft in der Schweiz steuerlich
abzugsfähig sein werden.
Um unsere Spenderinnen und Spender jederzeit aktuell informieren zu können, haben wir im Frühjahr 2015 unsere
Website http://www.stiftung.ecole.ch neu gestaltet und dem
Webauftritt der Ecole angepasst. Gleichzeitig wurde auf der
Website die Möglichkeit von OnlineSpenden per Kreditkarte
oder PostFinance eingeführt. Spenden ist damit so einfach wie
nie zuvor, und wir erhoffen uns davon eine weitere Belebung
des Spendenzuflusses.
Ein einschneidendes Ereignis mit Einfluss auf die finanzielle
Lage der Ecole war die Aufhebung des Euro-Mindestkurses
durch die Schweizerische Nationalbank im Januar 2015.
Der sprunghafte Anstieg der Kosten des Schulgeldes für Eltern
aus dem Euroraum hat sich negativ auf die Schülerzahlen aus
dem Euroraum ausgewirkt. Ein spontaner Spendenaufruf auf
unserer Website zur Unterstützung bei der Überbrückung
finanzieller Engpässe hat leider nur ein geringes Echo gefunden.
Unser Geschäftsführer und Fundraiser, Benno Breitenmoser,
setzt Zeit und Energie ein, um mit unseren Spenderinnen und
Spendern in Kontakt zu treten, sei es persönlich, telefonisch
oder via Brief und Mail. Am vergangenen Sommerfest hat er
unsere Stiftung mit einem Stand vertreten. Für die Schulabgängerinnen und Schulabgänger hat er ein Abgangspaket mit
wichtigen Informationen über unsere Stiftung zusammengestellt.
Um deutlich zu machen, dass unsere Stiftung einzig die Interessen der Ecole vertritt, verzichten wir seit 2015 auf eine eigene
Publikation und veröffentlichen unsere Informationen im Ecolianer. Gleichzeitig sparen wir damit Druckkosten.
Die Spenden an den Stipendienfonds betrugen im Berichtsjahr
CHF 110’872.00 (im Vorjahr CHF 97’500.00).
Zahlen
Dem Gönnerfonds sind im Berichtsjahr CHF 83’832.80 zugeflossen (im Vorjahr CHF 58’655.00). Die im Gönnerfonds angesammelten Mittel können sowohl für die Finanzierung von
Stipendien wie auch für Projekte und Beiträge an die Infrastruktur der Schule eingesetzt werden.
Die auf unserer Website publizierte Jahresrechnung gibt Auskunft über die finanzielle Lage der Stiftung. Erfreulich ist, dass
nach den markanten Rückgängen des Vorjahres nun wieder eine
Zunahme der Spenden sowohl an den Stipendienfonds als auch
an den Gönnerfonds zu verzeichnen ist.
Die Finanzierung von Stipendien musste auf CHF 120’000.00
beschränkt werden (Vorjahr CHF 180’000.00). Die Stipendien
wurden sowohl aus dem Stipendien- wie auch aus dem
Gönnerfonds finanziert. Es wurden zwei Jugendliche aus der
Schweiz, eine aus Deutschland sowie je einer aus Kroatien und
Tadschikistan unterstützt. Die im Stipendienfonds verbleibenden Mittel sind bereits für die Auszahlung im Geschäftsjahr
2015–16 reserviert.
Aus dem Projektfonds (Rubrik Bandraumfonds) wurden die
für die restliche Finanzierung des Bandraums reservierten
CHF 108’000.00 entnommen.
Neu zugeflossen sind grosszügige zweckbestimmte Spenden
von insgesamt CHF 56’877.00, wovon CHF 50’000.00 für die
Finanzierung des schulinternen »Waschsalons« und CHF 5’000
für Fitnessgeräte ausgegeben wurden.
Ausblick
Im Sommer 2016 steht das nächste Ehemaligentreffen auf der
Agenda. Unsere Stiftung ist in die Vorbereitungen aktiv involviert, wird am Treffen präsent sein und erhofft sich davon einen
deutlich erhöhten Spendenzufluss.
Unsere Stiftung wurde im Testament einer ehemaligen Mitarbeiterin berücksichtigt. Wir erwarten die Auszahlung eines
substantiellen Betrags im Geschäftsjahr 2015–16.
Wir beabsichtigen, im neuen Geschäftsjahr wieder einen
höheren Betrag an Stipendien zu vergeben, sofern sich der angestrebte Mittelzufluss realisieren lässt.
Im neuen Geschäftsjahr werden wir unter anderem das Aufbauprojekt eines schulinternen Learning Centers unterstützen.
In seiner strategischen Planung strebt der Stiftungsrat eine
Zunahme des jährlichen Spendenvolumens an. Ein aufgefrischtes Kommunikationskonzept und neue Fundraising-Initiativen
sollen zur Erreichung dieser Zielsetzung beitragen.
Personelle Neuerung
An der Stiftungsratssitzung vom 19. Januar 2015 wurde Herr
Benno Breitenmoser als Nachfolger von Herrn Markus Fellmann
zum neuen Geschäftsführer unserer Stiftung gewählt. Benno
Breitenmoser ist organisatorisch bei der Geschäftsführung der
Ecole angesiedelt und nimmt sowohl für unsere Stiftung als
auch für die Schule direkt die Funktion Fundraising wahr.
