Gesamtschule Weilerswist

What Gesamtschule Weilerswist does

Gesamtschule Weilerswist is a publicly funded comprehensive school (Gesamtschule) located in Weilerswist, Kreis Euskirchen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It serves approximately 1,150 students across Sekundarstufe I (grades 5-10) in five tracks and Sekundarstufe II (grades 11-13) in four tracks, with a multiprofessional team of more than 100 teaching staff. The school operates as a 'Schule des Gemeinsamen Lernens' (since 2018/19) integrating roughly 50 students with special educational needs into mainstream classes, and as a certified Dalton school (since 2016/17) delivering Helen Parkhurst's self-directed learning methodology through five-week Lernpläne.

The school's core program offering centers on its pedagogical framework rather than commercial products: differentiated instruction via E/G-Kurse, an inclusive learning model with two Inselräume support rooms, a full-day Ganztagsschule structure on three days per week, and a structured Berufsorientierungsbüro (BO-Büro) spanning all grades. The technology stack supporting instruction includes the state-provided LOGINEO NRW LMS (migrated from Moodle in May 2026), Microsoft 365 Education A3, heinekingmedia and Prowise digital whiteboards, fiber-optic networking, and a dual Verwaltungsnetz / Pädagogisches Netz architecture managed by kdvz Rhein-Erft-Rur. A planned 1:1 tablet program and the MINT-Up STEM enrichment launched in March 2026 under the federal LemaS initiative extend the curriculum into AI literacy, Calliope mini programming, and competition preparation.

The business model is non-commercial: education is delivered free of tuition, with operating funding drawn from the municipality of Weilerswist and Kreis Euskirchen as Schulträger, supplemented by voluntary Förderverein membership fees, donations, and targeted program grants. Revenue is not publicly disclosed. Enrollment is governed by NRW state education regulations through a structured annual admissions cycle (online pre-registration in December, advisory meetings, formal submission in February), with separate intake for the Oberstufe. Customer segments are students, parents/guardians, and the regional catchment community across Kreis Euskirchen and neighboring districts. The school holds multiple quality seals (fobizz 2025-26, Berufswahl-Siegel, Gütesiegel Förderung, Jugend debattiert, Starkmacher-Schule, Dalton certification, and the Schule des Gemeinsamen Lernens designation) and pursues partnerships with the Agentur für Arbeit, regional universities, Kreisparkasse and AOK Euskirchen, and STEM programs such as CASIO's Women Do Science.
