Private School IBB Dresden

What Private School IBB Dresden does

Private Schule IBB gGmbH Dresden operates a nine-school private education network in Dresden, Saxony, organized into two divisions. The general education division comprises three full-day schools (Ganztagsgrundschule grades 1-4, Ganztagsoberschule grades 5-10, and Ganztagsgymnasium grades 5-12) consolidated on a single Striesen campus since 2014. These schools follow a full-day (Ganztag) model that integrates academic instruction, supervised learning periods (Lern- und Übungszeiten), movement activities, and creative programs, with a stated no-homework policy and class sizes capped at 20-24 students. Educational focus is structured around three pillars: health (Gesundheit), creativity (Kreativität), and language (Sprache - German, English, French, Spanish). The school was designated a Bitkom SmartSchool in 2021 for its digitalization concept.

The vocational and continuing education division comprises six programs delivered primarily from the Kötteritzstraße headquarters and the Schumannstraße campus: Berufsschule für Wirtschaft, Berufsfachschule für Sozialwesen, Berufsfachschule für Kosmetik, Berufsfachschule für Podologen, Fachschule für Sozialwesen, and Fachoberschule, plus the Berufliches Gymnasium. Offerings are organized around four pillars: pedagogy, health, management, and creativity, with regional-unique programs in podiatry and cosmetology. A separate IBB Weiterbildung division provides adult continuing education. The entity operates as a gGmbH (non-profit-oriented limited liability company) under parent Institut für Bildung und Beratung GmbH (IBB).

Revenue is generated through tuition fees paid by enrolled families combined with partial state funding derived from IBB's recognition as a freie Schule (private school under free sponsorship) in Saxony. Specific tuition amounts are not publicly disclosed; prospective families are directed to contact the school directly. Distribution is entirely direct: families enroll by visiting campuses in Striesen and Kötteritzstraße or through the school's website (ibb-dresden.de and school-tier subdomains), with phone and email as primary contact channels. No third-party resellers or agents are used. The company is family-owned under the Mager family, with Doris Mager as founder (1995) and Dagmar Mager as authorized managing director since 1999.
