Friedensburg High School

What Friedensburg High School does

Friedensburg-Oberschule Berlin is a public integrated secondary school (Integrierte Sekundarschule) with grammar school upper level (Gymnasiale Oberstufe), operating under the Staatliche Europa-Schule Berlin (SESB) bilingual German-Spanish designation in Berlin's Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district. It serves students in grades 7-13, preparing them for the Abitur (university entrance qualification), and is described as the largest public bilingual European school in Berlin. Core programs include the bilingual German-Spanish SESB track, MINT-focused STEM curriculum, Berufsorientierte Projekte (BoP) career-oriented project courses across science, basketball, arts, media, music, and catering, plus extensive extracurricular offerings (BEGA afternoon activities including robotics and coding), and sustainability/environmental education initiatives (BNE, KI-Box Klima, Zuku_KI).

The school's technology backbone comprises the itslearning learning management system, WebUntis timetable and attendance administration, and the Office 365 productivity suite, supplemented by a Bring-Your-Own-Device 'Notebookklassen' program and participation in the German federal DigitalPakt initiative. It maintains a large international partnership network through Erasmus+ accreditation, spanning partner schools in 13+ European countries, and runs domestic partnerships with ALBA Berlin (basketball, since 2016), Kulturagenten Berlin (arts), Instituto Cervantes (Spanish culture), and various music and youth art institutions.

As a state school (Staatliche Schule), Friedensburg-Oberschule is fully funded by the Senatsverwaltung für Bildung, Jugend und Familie (Berlin Senate Department for Education, Youth and Family) and charges no tuition. Its go-to-market is event-driven: it recruits students through open-house events ('Tage der offenen Tür'), parent information evenings for incoming 7th and 11th grade cohorts, and coordination with the centralized Berlin school portal. Customer segments are students aged approximately 12-19 and their families, with parents participating through the Gesamtelternvertretung (GEV) governance body and the Förderverein support association. There is no commercial revenue model; the institution is a non-revenue-generating public educational entity whose outputs are measured in credentials (Abitur), competition placements, and educational outcomes rather than financial returns.
