Marie-Therese-Gymnasium

What Marie-Therese-Gymnasium does

Marie-Therese-Gymnasium (MTG) Erlangen is a municipal public secondary school (Städtisches Gymnasium) operated by the City of Erlangen in Bavaria, Germany, serving students from 5th through 13th grade under the G9 (nine-year Gymnasium) system leading to the Abitur qualification. The school operates under the administrative authority of the City of Erlangen, with OStD Armin Kolb serving as Schulleiter (Principal), and is publicly funded through Bavarian state and municipal education budgets — no tuition or fees are charged to students. Its customer base is geographically concentrated on students and families in the Erlangen region, with enrollment administered through the standard Bavarian state school process.

The school's core educational offering spans STEM (MINT, with MINT-EC network membership), foreign languages (English, French, Latin, Chinese — including DELF certification and HSK examination outcomes), music (orchestra, big band, multiple choirs, woodwind/brass ensembles), the Schulzirkus Mozzarella circus program (with former Cirque du Soleil artist workshops and a dedicated circus wagon), theater, and sports. Notable recognitions include Klimaschule in Silber (2025), a Sonderpreis in the Bavarian Mathematics Competition (2022), and DELF-Partner status (2025). The underlying technology stack is standard Bavarian educational SaaS: Canvayo CMS for the website, Web Untis for scheduling, BayernCloud (BYCS) for digital learning, Elternportal for parent communication, and Kitafino for cafeteria management, with embedded video on YouTube and Vimeo and location services via OpenStreetMap.

The business model is non-commercial: as a state-funded institution, MTG has no direct revenue, no pricing model, and no commercial GTM motion. The Freundeskreis (alumni/supporter association) provides supplementary fundraising (e.g., 3,000 Euro raised in 2025 for charity, plus donations for tutor training). International partnerships (Lycée Jean Macé in Rennes, Sakip Sabanci Anadoli Lisesi in Istanbul, Broadstairs Community College in the UK) support student exchanges. The school is GDPR-compliant, HTTPS-encrypted, and self-assessed against BITV 2.0 accessibility standards.
