The basement of the school contains a theatre.
The school's educational programme uses the motto: “School is cool – school for life”.
Since 2010, the school has been running an exchange program with a school in Hamburg, Germany, called “Elbe joins us”.
A presentation of pupils' abilities called "Steps" takes place annually in June in the last school week of school. Current pupils, former pupils, teachers and parents gather on the steps in front of the school to mark the end of the school year.
