Degersheim elementary school relies on Lista Office LO

Degersheim SG, September 2024

Lista Office LO furnished Degersheim Primary School just in time for the start of the school year. The flexible furniture is designed to promote creative teaching and motivated learning by allowing easy adaptation of the classrooms to different teaching methods.

Lista Office LO has refurnished four classrooms at the elementary school in Degersheim in time for the start of school in mid-August, the internationally active office outfitter based in the same town announced in a press release. The agile furnishings in the Steinegg school building are intended to enable new ways of creative teaching and motivated learning, Lista Office LO explains in the project description. “Modern teaching is based on a variety of didactic methods,” says principal Stefan Gübeli. “With the new furniture, this diversity can simply be lived.”

For class teacher Madlene Keller, it is important to be able to implement different forms of learning without major alterations. “It is important not to disturb the other children while setting up learning settings,” Keller is quoted as saying in the press release. “The ideal furniture must therefore be able to be moved and rearranged quickly, quietly and easily by both teachers and pupils.”

For the new furnishings in Degersheim, the elementary school was able to test various pieces of furniture extensively before purchasing them. “This gave us the certainty that our pupils would be able to work well with the new furniture and would enjoy working with it,” explains Keller. “My perception of the new furniture is that the classrooms have a noticeably different atmosphere.” Specifically, the class teacher notices an airier and lighter overall design with lots of open spaces. In her opinion, this has “noticeable positive effects on the thinking and motivation of the learners”.
