FOSBOS Friedberg

What FOSBOS Friedberg does

FOSBOS Friedberg (legal name: Staatliche Berufliche Oberschule Friedberg) is a publicly funded vocational upper secondary school located at Aichacher Str. 18, Friedberg, Bavaria, Germany. The institution operates under the authority of the Free State of Bavaria (Freistaat Bayern), with the Landratsamt Aichach-Friedberg serving as the Sachaufwandsträger (maintenance and funding authority). It delivers two core academic programs: the two-year Fachoberschule (FOS, grades 11-12) leading to the Fachhochschulreife, and the two-year Berufsoberschule (BOS, grade 12) leading to the allgemeine or fachgebundene Hochschulreife, with an optional FOS/BOS 13 senior year. Students can specialize across four tracks: Wirtschaft (Business), Technik (Technology), Sozialwesen (Social Studies), and Gesundheitswesen (Health Sciences). The school serves approximately 1,000-1,500 students annually (graduating classes of roughly 400-430) and is led by Schulleiterin Hermine Scroggie.

The institution's technology layer is built around dedicated iPad-based tablet classes (iPad-Klassen) that use Showbie for assignment distribution and digital material creation, the eTwinning platform for cross-school collaboration, Adobe Connect for cross-border teacher training, and a password-protected learning management system (Lernplattform) for virtual classrooms and distance learning. These are integrated into a structured "Digital Media" concept and have produced peer-teaching learning videos exchanged with partner schools through Erasmus+ projects. Supporting services include a parent portal (Elternportal), Microsoft Teams for debate competitions, and a student-run newspaper (Schülerzeitung). Co-curricular programs include school theater, the "Jugend debattiert" debating competition, an environmental program with on-campus photovoltaic installation, and annual DKMS bone marrow donor registration drives.

The school has no commercial revenue model. As a state educational institution, it is fully funded by the Free State of Bavaria (Land Bayern) and the Landratsamt Aichach-Friedberg, and no tuition is charged to students. Distribution occurs through the standard Bavarian public school enrollment process, with prospective students registering directly during official periods. Marketing is limited to the school's website (fosbosfriedberg.de) and regional press coverage in the Friedberger Allgemeine.
