Schloss Neubeuern

What Schloss Neubeuern does

Schloss Neubeuern (legal name: Internatsgymnasium Schloss Neubeuern) is a state-recognized Bavarian boarding grammar school founded in 1925 and operated since 1948 by the charitable Stiftung Landerziehungsheim Neubeuern. The institution delivers the Bavarian Abitur curriculum to boarding students and day school students (Tagesschule) in a historic castle estate in Neubeuern, Bavaria, maintaining class sizes of 8-15 students and mentor groups of approximately 13 students each to support individualized, 24/7 education. Its core product surface comprises the Internatsgymnasium and Tagesschule, supplemented by the Plus-MINT STEM talent program (one of only five Plus-MINT Leistungszentren in Germany), an MINT-Zentrum science facility, Bildung Plus (Lernhilfe, ACADEMY, KÜR), an Internationale Abteilung serving roughly 20 nationalities, a Summer Camp (EUR 2,650 all-inclusive, Aug 2-16 2026) used as an enrollment funnel, Reitausbildung via partner Reitanlage Paul, Skiförderprogramm, a Gildenwelt of up to 30 activities, and the myNeubeuern student portal.

The school's revenue model is anchored on annual subscription tuition and boarding fees (exact pricing undisclosed, with BAföG government funding accepted for Plus-MINT), supplemented by a per-unit-priced Summer Camp. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: families engage through the website, social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok), guided campus tours, open-house events (Tag der offenen Tür), and the Summer Camp funnel; international recruitment additionally runs through partnership schools in Hong Kong, Spain, Scotland, and England. There is no external investor, parent company, or subsidiary structure — governance rests with the Kuratorium (Board of Trustees), currently chaired by alumnus Mathis Wilke, with operational leadership provided by Stiftungsvorstand/Schulleiter Thomas Straßer (effective Feb 2024 as principal, Jan 2025 as board chair) and Internatsleiterin Susanne Schörghuber (since May 2021). The institution employs 51-100 staff and is positioned as one of Europe's top-tier boarding schools on the strength of its 100-year heritage (centennial celebrated in 2025).
