Boarding school with grammar school and secondary school offerings

Start as a secondary school student and graduate with a technical college entrance qualification or high school diploma

This is exactly what is possible at Schloss-Schule Kirchberg!

Gymnasium or secondary school? Every child is different. That’s why no educational path should be the same as another (nor should it be). For this reason, we at the state-recognized Gymnasium and boarding school Schloss-Schule Kirchberg, together with our cooperation partners, the schools in the surrounding area, have developed three very interesting programs for secondary school students of different age groups some time ago. These offer students the specific opportunity to develop optimally in a real feel-good atmosphere with comprehensive support - tailored to their changing individual inclinations and abilities.

Thus, it is possible to complete a precisely "fitting" educational path, benefit from one of the most renowned boarding schools in Baden-Württemberg, and ultimately start adult life with a tailored qualification!

We offer three educational alternatives, where your child will always be accommodated and cared for in the boarding school of Schloss-Schule:

  1. Start in our cooperative secondary school and obtain the certificate of secondary education
  2. Start at our cooperative secondary school and, under certain conditions, transfer to Schloss-Schul-Gymnasium early on.
  3. After obtaining the secondary school certificate at the cooperating secondary school or from another secondary school/middle school or with a comparable qualification, transition to Schloss-Schule (in class 10+) and obtain the entrance qualification for universities of applied sciences or the Abitur

Schloss-Schule: Boarding school in Baden Württemberg plus secondary school

It is generally possible to attend the Schloss-Schule boarding school starting from elementary school (from grade 3). From the fifth grade onwards, we offer every child the opportunity to choose the school form that suits them best. To this end, we have been working together with the neighboring August-Ludwig-Schlözer-Schule and Hermann-Merz-Schule Ilshofen for many years. Here, there are both elementary school classes as well as secondary vocational and secondary school classes.

Together with Schloss-Schule, master the secondary school diploma!

Individual support and assistance are highly valued at the Schloss-Schule boarding school! Together with the young people, we successfully achieve educational goals such as the secondary school diploma step by step. This is accomplished with individualized support and care.

School and extracurricular support

(Enger Kontakt mit kooperierender Realschule, Hausaufgabenbetreuung)

Of course, the secondary school students benefit just as much as the gymnasium students from the offerings of our boarding school. The children receive help from our qualified caregivers for school problems - they can also take advantage of all extracurricular support. We support every child and young person in their talents and foster their potentials – whether they are musical, athletic, linguistic, manual, scientific, or mathematical. All in accordance with our reform pedagogical approach of "Living, Learning, and Working."

 

Abitur after secondary school

For secondary school students who wish to obtain their Abitur after completing their secondary school diploma (or a comparable qualification), Schloss-Schule Kirchberg offers the opportunity, under certain conditions, to achieve their goal of obtaining their Abitur by joining our 10+ class.

The students in class 10+ come to our school from a variety of educational backgrounds. In class 10+, they prepare together for the upper school. To this end, subject-specific educational content is bundled and taught in an understandable way. In order to motivate the young people, the teaching and learning methods are geared towards independent action and learning.

Who is 10+ for?

  • For students with intermediate secondary school qualifications who meet the requirements (multilateral transfer regulations)
  • International students who want to take the German Abitur
  • Students from gymnasiums in the 9th or 10th grade
  • Transfer students

Why 10+?

  • We prepare all students thoroughly for the upper secondary level, in order to achieve the educational goal of the Abitur together.
  • In the 10+ class, we take the time to support the students individually. The young people learn independence, willingness to perform, self-management, and group inclusion.
  • Subject content is bundled and presented more clearly by the teachers - without compromising on the level!

What is special about 10+?

  • Basic intermediate-level knowledge is reviewed in a targeted manner, and skills in the main subjects taught at secondary school are deepened and expanded.
  • The active participation in shaping the learning environment and the regular assessment of learning behavior in class 10+ promotes self-responsibility, which becomes significantly important in the upper school level.
  • Every student takes part in a one-week social internship and the BOGY internship (at least three days) in order to sharpen their awareness of social issues and reflect on their own life situation.

Of course, students benefit in all cases from the advantages of the Schloss-Schule boarding school. We support each individual on their path to a successful graduation and a fulfilling adult life!
