What Paul-Klee-Gymnasium does

Paul-Klee-Gymnasium Overath is a public German secondary school (Gymnasium) located at Pérenchiesstraße 3, 51491 Overath, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Operated under the supervision of Bezirksregierung Köln as part of the state education network, the school delivers Sekundarstufe I and II education (grades 5 through Q2), preparing students for university entrance. The institution offers a standard Gymnasium curriculum including MINT (STEM) focus, language programs, music (including the Vocal Klee Kids & Kids choir), arts, sports, and an Internationale Vorbereitungsklasse (International Preparation Class) for non-German-speaking newcomers. It also runs career orientation, counseling, a school library, and a cafeteria (Mensa).

The school's product surface is modest: a WordPress-based website portal (pkg-overath.de) serves as the central information and communication hub for students, parents, and staff, supplemented by social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, VKontakte, YouTube, Behance, Houzz, Instagram) and an email newsletter. The school also operates a virtual art museum linked to its namesake, the artist Paul Klee. A network of regional partners — KSK Köln, PariSozial, Soennecken, Barmer, DeutaWerke, Gicom, Dienes, and the BBC's 'Laugh 'n' Learn' — supports extracurricular programs and sponsorships.

The business model is non-commercial: as a state-funded public institution, the school charges no tuition, collects only nominal Eigenanteil (personal contribution) textbook fees, and is overseen by Bezirksregierung Köln. Leadership comprises Schulleiter (Principal) David Hubert. Since 2019 the school has held the 'Schule ohne Rassismus – Schule mit Courage' designation, and it is recognized as a MINT-freundliche Schule. The entity is not an investable commercial target; it is a public-sector educational institution.
