Thomas-Mann-Gymnasium Erich-Kästner-Realschule

What Thomas-Mann-Gymnasium Erich-Kästner-Realschule does

Erich Kästner Realschule Stutensee (EKRS) is a publicly funded German secondary school (Realschule) located at Gymnasiumstraße 20 in Stutensee-Blankenloch, Baden-Württemberg. It operates under the municipality of Stutensee and the Baden-Württemberg Kultusministerium, sharing a Schulzentrum with the Thomas-Mann-Gymnasium. The school serves approximately 600 students across grades 5 through 10, delivering the Realschulabschluss (M-Niveau) and Hauptschulabschluss (G-Niveau) qualifications, with individualized G/M-level differentiation and a structured career-orientation curriculum that begins in grade 5 and culminates in grade-9 internships.

The school runs on a standard public-sector technology stack rather than proprietary systems: Schulmanager Online (provided by Schulmanager Online GmbH, Munich) handles administrative workflows including timetabling, substitution planning, parent letters, calendars, and resource booking, with GDPR-compliant data hosting on German servers; Moodle serves as the learning management system for teacher-student exchange of assignments and materials; and Schulmensa.net integrates with caterer Apetito for hot-lunch ordering at €5.40 per meal. Additional auxiliary platforms include a BO-Newsletter (in operation since 2013/14) for parent-facing career updates and a Tag der offenen Tür open-door event featuring VR demonstrations, music performances, and student-led tours.

The business model is government funding under the German public-education framework; no tuition is charged. Revenue sources are limited to ancillary fee-based services such as the hot-lunch catering program and annual student locker rentals. Customer segments consist of grade 5–10 students and their families within the catchment area, with secondary engagement directed at prospective students, local employers (via career-orientation events), and institutional partners including Pädagogische Hochschule Karlsruhe, WHRS-Seminar Karlsruhe, IHK Karlsruhe, and Agentur für Arbeit Karlsruhe-Rastatt. The school holds the Berufswahl-SIEGEL Baden-Württemberg (awarded 2020/21, recertified 2023/24) and the IHK Karlsruhe 5-Sterne-Siegel.
