Carl-Orff-Gymnasium

What Carl-Orff-Gymnasium does

Carl-Orff-Gymnasium is a public Gymnasium (secondary school) operated under the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Cultural Affairs, located in Unterschleißheim, Bavaria, Germany. The school serves students in grades 5-13 across the nine-year Gymnasium track (G9), preparing them for the Abitur examination, and offers differentiated programs including a bilingual German-English history track (grades 8-9), an accelerated Individual Learning Time Reduction (ILV) program allowing completion of Abitur in eight years, an Offene Ganztagsschule (open all-day school) program for grades 5-10, and a peer-tutoring service (HelpMe). The institution is named after composer Carl Orff and emphasizes music, theater, sport, and MINT (STEM) subjects alongside traditional academic tracks.

The school's digital ecosystem is built on Microsoft 365 with Azure AD single sign-on for students and staff, supported by a WordPress-based website architecture (carl-orff-gym.de) and approximately fifteen subdomain microsites covering art, theater, mathematics, physics, journalism, alumni, and social work services. Operational partners include ITC GmbH (technical services), domainfactory GmbH (web hosting), Microsoft (cloud platform), Kinderessen Krag GmbH (canteen), and Kitafino (prepaid canteen payment). The school maintains academic partnerships with the Technical University of Munich (as a TUM-Referenzschule) and participates in multiple German national programs including Jugend debattiert, Jugend forscht, Fairtrade Schools, and Umweltschule.

As a state-funded public institution, the school charges no tuition. Ancillary revenue is generated only through optional paid services operated by third parties — canteen meals at approximately €6.40 per portion and peer tutoring at €13 per 50-minute session. The school is currently undergoing a major physical expansion with a new Erweiterungsbau (extension building), with the Richtfest topping-out ceremony held in May 2026, and operates under principal (Schulleiterin) Greta Schicker with a documented directorate, extended school leadership, school psychology, social work, and liaison teacher structure.
