Jonas Lühmann
Head of School Co-Curricular Enrichment Program – Years 1 to 13
Jonas Lühmann is responsible for the students in Years 1 to 13 and guides the educational, pedagogical and administrative work of the Erzieher*innen and the club leaders during school time and during the holidays.
After finishing his Abitur and Zivildienst, Mr. Lühmann, who is originally from a small village near Hamburg, studied Educational Science (Bildungswissenschaft) in Magdeburg, Savannah and Hamburg.
In addition to the university’s curricular focus on media education and adult education, he was particularly interested in the theoretical consideration and practical implementation of pedagogy in everyday school life.
His interest in education in the learning environment and social space of schools, is reflected in his own research for his final thesis and subsequent career choice.
In recent years, Mr Lühmann has worked enthusiastically at Berlin primary schools in Neukölln and Schöneberg as a team leader in all-day care, as well as several years in the USA as an after-school teacher at the German International School, Boston.
In all of these schools, he particularly appreciated the productive collaboration between the multi-professional staff and a lively, international school community. Above all, Jonas Lühmann’s priority is always to create an inspiring learning environment for all students, that retains their natural curiosity for new things, and leaves room to further explore individual interests.
Outside of Platanus school, Mr Lühmann enjoys sports, culture and spirited conversations.
