What Sibling-Scholl-Gymnasium Düsseldorf does

Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium Düsseldorf is a public Gymnasium (state secondary school) located at Redinghovenstraße 41, 40225 Düsseldorf, owned and operated by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. It serves students from Klasse 5 through Q2 (grade 12) on the Abitur track and was named in 1945 after resistance members Hans and Sophie Scholl. Core instructional delivery is funded by the state; ancillary fee-based services include homework supervision (EUR 3.50/day via Caritasverband Düsseldorf), cafeteria meals (EUR 4.70/meal subscription or EUR 6.50 spontaneous), peer tutoring (EUR 120 per 10-session block), and orchestra-class instrument rental (EUR 39 for a two-year ensemble period).

The school's platform stack consists of standard NRW school-software: WebUntis for timetabling and attendance, Moodle for LMS, Logineo as the central login platform, and SchoolFox for parent communication. Product differentiators include a Chorklasse and Orchesterklasse (Klasse 5-6 music specialization supported by Musikschule Rhein-Ruhr, ~300 student musicians across choirs and orchestras), a Nachhaltigkeitsprogramm anchored since 2001, and the Schullandheim Hitzenlinde - a 100-year-old country school home near Leutkirch im Allgäu used at least four times per student during their school career. Career orientation runs from Klasse 5 through Q2 in cooperation with Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf and the Bundesagentur für Arbeit; an international exchange links the school with Macleod College in Melbourne, Australia. Distribution is non-commercial: students enter via Düsseldorf's municipal school placement process. Recent operational additions include the October 2025 opening of a new shared Mensa with Hulda-Pankok-Gesamtschule and the November 2025 launch of the 'Bewusst digital!' digital-literacy program that includes AI awareness modules.
