Montessorischule Hohenbrunn

What Montessorischule Hohenbrunn does

Montessorischule Hohenbrunn is a private Montessori school located in Riemerling, municipality of Hohenbrunn in the Munich district of Bavaria, Germany. Founded in 1985 and operated by the registered parents' association Elternkreis Montessorischule München-Land e.V., the school serves approximately 340 students across grades 1-10 using Maria Montessori's pedagogical framework, including Freiarbeit (self-directed free work), specialized Montessori learning materials, and Kosmische Erziehung (cosmic education) integrating natural sciences, geography, history, and ethics. The school combines Montessori instructional methods with preparation for Bavarian state-recognized qualifications, including the Montessoriabschluss (Große Arbeit capstone thesis in grade 9), the Erfolgreicher and Qualifizierender Hauptschulabschluss, and — via a longstanding partnership with the Montessori Fachoberschule München (MOS) — the Mittlerer Bildungsabschluss and Fachabitur/Abitur pathway.

The school's product surface consists of two core educational stages (Grundschule grades 1-4 in mixed-age classes of ~26 children, and Mittelschule grades 5-10 with combined year groups 5-7 and 8-10), supplemented by ancillary fee-based services: after-school care (Nachmittagsbetreuung), freshly prepared daily lunch (Mittagessen), school bus transportation (Schulbus), and language/remedial support courses (Sprach- & Förderkurse). The revenue model is a subscription-recurring B2C tuition structure with sibling discounts — €424.03/month for a first child, €318.02 for a second, €254.42 for a third, billed over 12 months and indexed annually to the Bavarian consumer price index — plus one-time enrollment fees (€600 first grade, €1,200 lateral entrants). The school's go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: annual open house (Tag der offenen Tür) events drive ~38-40 new first-grade enrollments per year, supplemented by alumni-network referrals, a YouTube channel, and active parent working groups (12 Eltern-AGs). Governance is multi-stakeholder through an Aufsichtsrat (supervisory board), two-person Vorstand (pedagogical and commercial directors), parents' council, and trustee association, with no external equity, venture, or private ownership.
