For pupils, riding is more than just a sport - it is discipline, the assumption of responsibility and a lifelong passion. At Schloss-Schule Kirchberg, we make sure that our pupils have the best individual support to pursue this passion and be successful at school at the same time.
At the same time, we know that boarding and training costs are a major hurdle for some families. Although their children have talent, passion and discipline, they sometimes lack the financial means to participate in this special form of support. It is precisely these young people who benefit most from the combination of school education, boarding school support and the valuable learning experience of equestrian sport.
With your donation, you enable young people who would otherwise not have the same opportunities to follow precisely this path. You are not only supporting sporting development, but also helping to ensure that young people grow up in a stable, supportive environment at the boarding school and can develop their academic and personal potential.
They help to ensure that children and young people, regardless of their financial situation, become part of a community that supports them, gives them security and accompanies them on their path to adulthood.
Antonia von der Schulenburg - former pupil
Riding was much easier for me to integrate into my everyday life at boarding school than at home, because everything is so easily accessible - the school, the boarding school, the stables. That makes an incredible difference, I had much more time. During my time at the Schloss-Schule, I was also able to ride in competitions, attend riding courses and earn riding badges. The support and opportunities I received in riding were enormous and that really helped me personally!

Project #Basketball Scholarships
From the playing field to life - support that works
For many of our pupils, basketball is much more than just a game. It stands for team spirit, discipline, respect and belief in one's own strength. On the court, young people learn to take responsibility, deal with setbacks and achieve goals together. Sport becomes an important anchor, especially in boarding schools: it provides structure, creates community and boosts self-confidence.
With our project, we want to give young people access to high-quality education and professional sporting support, regardless of their financial situation. The combination of school, boarding school and performance-oriented training creates sustainable prospects for the future - both in sport and in later professional life.
Together with the HAKRO Merlins Crailsheim, we accompany talented young basketball players on their way. As a professional basketball club with a clear strategy for young talent, the Merlins offer a performance-oriented training environment, experienced coaches and the opportunity to develop at a high level. The close integration of school, boarding school and club creates a holistic development concept that focuses equally on sporting and academic development.
Such concepts for youth development are only possible with support. Boarding school and training costs are a major challenge for many families.
Your donation will help to discover talent, open up opportunities and give young people the courage to believe in their future.

Project #Education scholarships
Enabling equal opportunities through educationThe Schloss-Schule in Kirchberg an der Jagst is a private educational institution that prepares children and young people for the future in the best possible way. First-class care and knowledge transfer through small classes, international pupils, committed and well-trained teachers and caregivers, support programs and the creation of experiential spaces in which young people can try things out and get to know their strengths better are our aspiration and our motivation.
Every child has their own strengths, dreams and potential. However, not everyone has the same financial resources to develop these abilities. With our educational scholarships, we want to make exactly that possible: to open up paths for young people that would remain closed to them without support. A school that supports, strengthens and accompanies them can be decisive for their later life.
Your donation provides targeted help where financial barriers hinder future opportunities. You enable school scholarships that relieve the burden on families and encourage young people. You support individual support, extracurricular activities, boarding school care and much more that helps our pupils to develop into strong, self-confident personalities.
We also see this as a way of safeguarding the high quality of the Schloss-Schule for the future and, above all, as an opportunity to give disadvantaged children and young people access to high-quality education and support.

The school itself is really great! The teachers are really great and I'm much more motivated here than before. School makes sense to me again, I do my homework and enjoy learning! You also learn a lot beyond school. You also learn a lot of interpersonal skills differently here than at home. If there is a conflict or a difference of opinion, you can't go home or simply avoid each other. Here you learn to sort things out and make compromises. All in all, there are a lot of very important skills that are essential for every young person.
