Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Gymnasium

What Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Gymnasium does

Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Gymnasium Schweich (DBG) is a small, church-run full-day secondary school (Evangelische Ganztagsschule) located in Schweich, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, operating under the sponsorship of the Kirchenkreis Trier (Evangelical Church District of Trier). The school delivers secondary education across three stages — Orientierungsstufe (grades 5–6), Mittelstufe (grades 7–10), and Oberstufe/MSS (upper secondary leading to the Abitur) — to students and families primarily in the Schweich and Trier-Saarburg district area. Its core educational product is the Ganztagsschule (full-day school) program, which combines classroom instruction with a rhythmized timetable, supervised meals, a Selbstlernzentrum (self-learning center), and an extensive program of Arbeitsgemeinschaften (working groups) including a Theater-AG and project weeks.

The school operates on a publicly funded revenue model, receiving resources from government educational budgets and church sponsorship rather than tuition fees; modest parent contributions cover school meals (Mittagessen via opc-asp.de) and learning materials through the Schulbuchausleihe (school book lending) system. Its digital infrastructure is built on Microsoft Office 365 for communication and collaboration, WebUntis for timetable and substitution management, and infrastructure funded in part through the DigitalPakt Schule program. The school is designated an Erasmus+ School, enabling international student exchanges, and maintains academic partnerships with the Universität Trier for project-based research activities. Go-to-market is community-led, with student recruitment handled through local orientation events, open houses, and the regional Anmeldeverfahren (enrollment procedure).
