Revenue model

1. Public Funding (State & District): As a public vocational school (Öffentliche Schule) in Baden-Württemberg, the Kaufmännische Schulen Offenburg are primarily funded by the state of Baden-Württemberg and the Ortenaukreis (municipal district), which serves as the school sponsor (Schulträger). Funding covers operational costs, teacher salaries, and infrastructure. No tuition fees are charged to students.
2. Event and Program Fees: The school organizes paid programs including SAP4School additional qualification, StudiumPLUS, and specialized seminars (e.g., the Geldlehrer financial literacy program). These generate modest revenue streams through registration and program fees. The Freundes- und Förderkreis also collects membership contributions to support school projects.
