What Evangelisches Gymnasium does

Evangelisches Gymnasium Doberlug-Kirchhain is a state-recognized Protestant private secondary school (staatlich anerkannte Ersatzschule) located in Doberlug-Kirchhain, Brandenburg, Germany. Founded in 2005, it serves students in grades 7 through 12, delivering a curriculum leading to the Abitur university entrance qualification. The school is operated by the non-profit Ev. Schulgemeinschaft Niederlausitz gGmbH, which manages a continuous educational pathway from KITA through Abitur, and it works in partnership with Diakonie Elbe-Elster and the Evangelische Schulstiftung der EKD.

The school's core product is a digitally-enabled Gymnasium education, built around iPad-Klassen (iPad classes) replacing traditional chalkboard instruction, supported by an iServ school server that handles digital communication, homework distribution, and homeschooling capabilities. Approximately 29 teachers instruct around 330 students, with a curriculum covering English, French, Spanish, Latin, Russian, and Chinese, plus STEM-focused extracurriculars (robotics, 3D printing, programming) and signature programs including large-scale musical productions and the FreiRAUM youth ministry. A proprietary bus shuttle service extends reach to over 55 locations across the Elbe-Elster-Kreis region.

The revenue model is income-dependent tuition fees (Schulgeld) supplemented by subsidies from the Ev. Schulstiftung der EKD and ancillary income from events, sponsors, and the parent association (Verein der Freunde und Förderer). Enrollment is conducted directly via the school's admission system, with applications open for cohorts through the 2031/2032 school year. International partnerships in Taiwan, Russia, Poland, and Israel, along with a humanitarian project in Guatemala, form part of the broader extracurricular offering.
