Hefermann School

Hefermann School (Reshan: Skolsk Hefermann) is a private elementary school dedicated to the arts, located in Mandak, Lagers in Eastern Resha. The school was founded in 1976, by educator Amelja Hefermann as an alternative arts-driven schooling program for young children. The current headmistress is Grisela Palur.

Curriculum
While the school still teaches children traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, science, and history, students are taught these subjects in a "slow-paced environment" and in relation to art and music. The arts are also an integral part of the curriculum, with the school having classes in fine arts, performing arts, music, fashion design, 3D art, graphic design, and others.

The school is broken up into two main buildings; the primary building and the intermediate building. The primary building houses students aged 6 to 12 (grades 1 to 6), while the intermediate building houses students aged 12 to 16 (grades 7 to 10).

A greater emphasis is placed on academic subjects in primary education, where students study the main subjects with their core teacher, and go to specialist teachers while studying music, art, and the English language. In intermediate education, students are allowed to choose a medium to specialize in. The available mediums are vocal performance, music production, orchestra/band, drama, dance, opera, fine arts, 3D arts, graphic design, and fashion design. A student's schedule is then built around their specialization, and academic subjects become a second priority. This is done in order to prepare students for acceptance into a high school dedicated to their chosen medium.
