Ernst-Reuter-Schule 1

What Ernst-Reuter-Schule 1 does

Ernst-Reuter-Schule 1 (ERS1) is a public Oberstufengymnasium (upper secondary school) located at Hammarskjoldring 17a in the Nordend district of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. The school is operated under the Hessian state education system (Staatliches Schulamt Frankfurt am Main) and serves students typically aged 16-19 entering the upper secondary phase (Einführungsphase through Qualifikationsphase Q1-Q4), preparing them for the Abitur examination. ERS1 operates as a specialized upper-secondary institution rather than a full K-12 school, with no lower-grade intake.

The school delivers a comprehensive curriculum spanning languages (German, English, French, Spanish, Italian), sciences (Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science), humanities (History, Politics and Economics, Ethics, Religion, Geography), and the arts (Music, Visual Arts, Performing Arts). Supporting infrastructure includes a self-learning center (Selbstlernzentrum), media education programs, career orientation services (Berufsorientierung with a dedicated BO-Einwahl portal), remedial programs (Förderangebote), and a counseling/prevention service. Digital infrastructure consists of MoodlERS, a Moodle-based learning management system hosted on the Hessian school platform (mo6001.schule.hessen.de), and MuM-System, a parent-teacher communication and instructional management tool. The campus additionally operates a school restaurant (Poggi Bonsi).

As a state-run Gymnasium, ERS1 is publicly funded by the state of Hesse and provides tuition-free education; it has no commercial revenue model, no disclosed financials, and no private ownership. The institution is led by Schulleiter (Principal) Martin Schroeder and maintains a network of strategic partnerships including Goethe University Frankfurt, the Max Planck Society (Max-Planck Junior Scholars Program), the Bundesagentur für Arbeit for career guidance, Cambridge English Language Assessment, and the "Schule ohne Rassismus – Schule mit Courage" network. The school also maintains a supporting Förderverein (booster association) for fundraising and community engagement.
