What Anne-Frank-Gesamtschule does

Anne-Frank-Gesamtschule Viersen is a public comprehensive secondary school (Gesamtschule) located in Viersen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, serving approximately 1,400 students across grades 5-13 with about 110 teachers (Lehrkräfte). Founded in 1991 and named after Anne Frank, the school operates two campuses: Rahserstraße (grades 5-8) and Lindenstraße (grades 9-13), both well-connected by public transport. The school is operated under the authority of the City of Viersen (Schulträger for external school affairs) and the Ministry of School and Continuing Education of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia (responsible for internal pedagogical matters). Its core educational offering spans the full Sekundarstufe I program (grades 5-10, leading to Hauptschulabschluss, Realschulabschluss, or Oberstufe qualification) and the three-year Gymnasiale Oberstufe leading to the Abitur (Allgemeine Hochschulreife), with fixed Leistungskurs blocks in German/Biology/Chemistry and Mathematics/English/History/Pedagogy, plus the schulischer Teil der Fachhochschulreife after grade 12.

The school's pedagogical platform is built on differentiated instruction (Fachleistungsdifferenzierung), a structured KAoA career orientation program spanning grades 5 through Q2, full-day care (Ganztagsbetrieb) with midday meals, study halls, and elective clubs, and prevention programs covering addiction, conflict resolution, and digital behavior. Technology infrastructure is modest: the school uses the state-provided Logineo NRW LMS, WebUntis for scheduling and attendance, WordPress with Elementor for its website, and Cerber Security and Complianz for security and cookie consent. International exchange programs with partner schools in Spain (since 1999) and France, alongside memorial site visits to Auschwitz, form the intercultural and remembrance programming backbone.

The business model is government-funded public education. There is no tuition; the school is financed by the State of NRW (teacher salaries and curriculum) and the City of Viersen (buildings, operational costs, non-teaching staff). Supplementary funding flows through a Förderverein (parent-support association) via donations and small corporate sponsorships (e.g., 700 EUR from Thalia Mayersche Viersen). The customer base is geographically constrained to students and families in Viersen and surrounding districts, with enrollment managed through the municipal school authority. A long-standing Kooperationsvertrag with Hochschule Niederrhein (signed April 2004) supports career orientation and academic collaboration.
