Justus-von-Liebig-Schule Aalen

What Justus-von-Liebig-Schule Aalen does

Justus-von-Liebig-Schule Aalen is a public vocational school (berufliche Schule) and public law corporation (Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts) operated by the Ostalbkreis district in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The school delivers a broad portfolio of vocational education pathways to roughly 1,000 students annually (about two-thirds full-time Vollzeitschüler, one-third part-time Teilzeitschüler) taught by 80+ specialized teaching staff. Programs span three Berufliche Gymnasien (Biotechnologisches, Ernährungswissenschaftliches, Sozialwissenschaftliches Gymnasium) leading to Abitur, the Berufsoberschule Sozialwesen, two-year Berufskollegs, full educator training pathways (PIA, Vollzeit, Teilzeit, Anerkennungsjahr), Berufsfachschulen in health/care and home economics, vocational training in agriculture, forestry, and hospitality, vocational preparation (AV Dual, VABO for migrants), the Hauswirtschaft master school, and AZAV-certified retraining/continuing education. Standard programs are tuition-free under Schulgeld- und Lernmittelfreiheit, with public education funding flowing from the Ostalbkreis Schulträger.

The technology stack is functional rather than differentiating: Moodle LMS (jvlmoodle) for course delivery, a standard IT/email infrastructure, and — the most notable recent addition — the Fobizz platform adopted to give teachers access to generative AI tools and AI professional development webinars. No proprietary product is built; the school is a consumer of third-party education technology. Revenue mechanics are public-sector: the school has no tuition, no commercial customers, and no ARR in the traditional sense. Income derives from the Ostalbkreis budget for facilities and administration (with teacher salaries effectively paid by Land Baden-Württemberg), supplemented by Bildungsgutscheine from Agentur für Arbeit and Jobcenter for AZAV-certified retraining programs. Customer segments are regional students and adult learners in the Ostalbkreis catchment, with international mobility limited to Erasmus+ exchanges (Italy, Ireland, France).
