Freie Universität Berlin was founded in 1948 by professors and students, in response to the persecution faced by students who took a critical eye of the system at Universität Unter den Linden, at that time located in the Soviet sector of the divided city. The idea of founding a free university found widespread support in the international community, including financial support. This outpouring of aid helped pave the way for Freie Universität to become a university with an outstanding international reputation. The principles of freedom and internationality have guided the university's development ever since. Since the university's founding in December of 1948, the academic ethos of Freie Universität Berlin has always been defined by three values: truth, justice, and freedom. The years 1968, 1990, and 2007 mark turning points in the history of Freie Universität. The university was one of Germany's important sites for the student protests of the 1960s, which sparked a trend toward greater openness, equality, and democracy. Then, after German reunification in 1990, Freie Universität Berlin shifted its emphasis, increasing its research activities. The number of graduates, successful doctoral candidates, and publications also grew by a significant measure. The basis for the university's successful new approach was a series of fundamental reforms, including the introduction of modern management structures in the university's administration, reorganization of the departments, and use of funding to support specific aims. In 2007, Freie Universität Berlin was selected in the Excellence Initiative jointly sponsored by the German federal government and the federal states' governments. It was one of nine universities in Germany to receive distinction in all three funding lines, a step that has enabled the university to solidify and further expand its position as an "international network university." In 2012 during the second funding round of the Excellence Initiative, it was selected again and is now one of eleven universities of excellence in Germany. Freie Universität Berlin is a leading research institution. One of the German universities successful in all three funding lines in the federal and state Excellence Initiative, thereby receiving additional funding for its institutional future development strategy. Freie Universität can thus take its place as an international network university in the global competition among universities. Development and assessment of research projects occur within various focus areas, research networks, and platforms for interdisciplinary collaborative research. The Excellence Initiative's performance provided funding for several new graduate schools and transdisciplinary research clusters. In particular, the graduate schools play a vital role in developing internationally competitive research centers of excellence. Freie Universität Berlin is a broad-based university with 15 departments and central institutes offering over 150-degree programs across a wide range of subjects. Freie Universität Berlin was founded on December 4, 1948, by students, scholars, and scientists to support the American allied forces and politicians in Berlin. The move was sparked by the persecution faced by students who took a critical eye on the system at the former Universität Unter den Linden, located in the Soviet sector of the divided city. Students and academics wanted to be free to pursue their learning, teaching, and research activities at Freie Universität without being subject to political influence. Generous donations from the United States enabled Freie Universität to build some of its central facilities, including the Benjamin Franklin University Hospital and the Henry Ford Building. In a nod to the university's founding history, the seal of Freie Universität still features the words truth, justice, and freedom. In 2007, the university dedicated a memorial to the founding students killed by the Soviet secret service. The university also presents its Freedom Award to individuals who have made outstanding contributions to freedom. To remain relevant and to compete academically and intellectually from its isolated position in West Berlin, Freie Universität made connections with academic institutions and leading literary figures in Germany, elsewhere in Europe, and worldwide. What started of necessity soon became a success strategy: Freie Universität currently maintains roughly 105 partnerships at the university-wide level and about 330 university partnerships within the Erasmus academic exchange network. 45 institute partnerships. Freie Universität is located in the southwest of Berlin, in Dahlem's garden district, which had already become a top-ranked location for research and study in the early 20th century. Academic activity in Dahlem was supported by Friedrich Althoff, Ministerial Director at the Prussian Ministry of Culture, who proposed the founding of "a German Oxford" at that time. The first new buildings housed government academic and scientific agencies and new institutes of the former University of Berlin. Also, the Kaiser Wilhelm Society – the precursor of the Max Planck Society – maintained various institutes in Dahlem from the time it was founded in 1911. A dynamic group of scientists, including Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, and Max Planck, performed pioneering research at the new site, earning multiple Nobel Prizes. In 1938, in what is now the Hahn-Meitner Building, nuclear fission occurred. Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner had spent more than two decades working together there toward that aim. Since it was first founded, Freie Universität Berlin has used former buildings of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society and brought several architecturally innovative buildings of its own to the area. Freie Universität is made up of groups of buildings all located within walking distance of one another. The campus planners designed it along the American college campus lines, a novelty in postwar Germany. The permanent exhibition "Future from the Very Beginning" (Zukunft von Anfang an) in the Henry Ford Building of Freie Universität highlights the university's rich and varied history, from its founding in 1948 right up to the present day. Photographs, early films, radio reports, and contemporary printed materials show the university's position at the center of contemporary events right from the start. The Henry Ford Building exhibition is open to the public at no charge during regular building opening hours (Garystraße 35, 14195 Berlin, 7:30 a.m.–8 p.m. Monday through Friday).

At All Saints, we share a set of shared values. We teach and encourage our students to be courteous at all times, to respect themselves and others and the broader community. We encourage our students to draw inspiration from our Orthodox Christian ethos and uphold them in their day-to-day lives. These values underpin everything we do and provide our children with a moral framework that will help them reach their full potential academically and socially. Our students have access to diverse programs designed to provide a rich curriculum with a student-centered focus. In 2016, we will continue to engage our students in the very best learning opportunities possible by introducing Bring Your Own Technology (BYOT) for students in Years 3 – 12, supporting our commitment to providing students with quality education in a digital world. As a school that is welcoming, fair, fun, family-oriented, sincere, and, most importantly, loving, we realize that achievement comes in many forms. We are committed to ensuring that your child has every opportunity to flourish, grow in confidence, and make the most of their gifts and talents. All Saints is a school where making a difference in the lives of young people is at the forefront of everything we do. It is a school that we are all proud to be a part of. This vibrant and well-established school was founded in 1990 by the Parish and Community of Belmore and District to provide academic excellence within a foundation of Orthodox Christian ethics. The initial idea of establishing All Saints Grammar School was in the hope of preserving Hellenism, and to uphold the values, beliefs, traditions, and customs of the Greek culture and Orthodox faith. It was without government funding, 28 students and in rented premises, that the school officially opened in January 1990, in Lakemba. The school proliferated, and the following year, enrolments more than tripled. In 1994, the Church purchased the magnificent Towers Campus, as it is referred to today. Over the next few years, restoration and renovation took place at the Towers Campus, and the first Year 7 students were welcomed in Term 3 of 1995. In 2000, the first Year 12 students sat the Higher School Certificate (HSC). Our school has been growing in numbers ever since its inception. The construction of the award-winning Primary School campus in Belmore was completed in October 2009, and the School Gymnasium was constructed and opened in 2011. With ever-increasing numbers in Pre-Kindy, the house next to the Church was purchased, and the purpose-designed Early Learning Centre was officially opened in 2013. From 2011 All Saints Grammar has educated students from Pre-Kindy to Year 12 and, from 2013, was able to do so on three remarkable campuses. All Saints Grammar School seeks to cultivate a deep appreciation of Christian values within the Greek Orthodox Faith. The School Crest and Motto are symbols of the school’s ideals and provide an insight into our ethos, aims, and goals. The Motto ‘Let us Stand Well’ is a liturgical phrase that is heard at the beginning of the most sacred part of the Divine Liturgy, the Holy Eucharist. On the School Crest, it symbolizes an invitation to be vigilant in the preservation, development, and passing on to future generations the ideals symbolized by the other motifs on the Crest. At All Saints Grammar, we are committed to creating and sustaining an educational environment where: Teachers and students are engaged in meaningful, relevant student-centered Learning. Teaching and learning practices are continuously evaluated and revised to ensure innovation and creativity. Teaching and Learning focus on self-reflective and collaborative practices. Teaching and Learning enhance the skills of responsible digital citizens. Our vision places significance on the development of the student in a holistic manner. Student engagement in the educational experience is an essential part of ensuring improvement in all areas of their lives. In order to promote engagement, the provision of quality learning opportunities is imperative. Within this formative vision, we are implementing an Assessment for Learning (AfL) framework for pedagogy as a core element of our school’s Pre-Kindy to Year 12 pedagogical direction. In educational circles, multiple approaches attempt to foster excellence in professional teaching and learning practice. All Saints Grammar acknowledges the research, which indicates that the frameworks focusing on Classroom Management and Instruction can significantly impact student achievement. Assessment For Learning – also known as Formative Assessment – is recognized as the most effective approach to improving student learning and has been implemented. The Principles of Assessment for Learning are as follows: Emphasize the interactions between Learning and manageable assessment strategies that promote learning. Clearly expresses for the student and teacher the goals of the teaching/learning. Reflect a view of Learning in which assessment helps students learn better, rather than achieve a better mark Provide ways for students to use feedback from assessment. Help students take responsibility for their Learning. Are inclusive of all learners. View full school
