Städtische Reischlesche Wirtschaftsschule Augsburg

What Städtische Reischlesche Wirtschaftsschule Augsburg does

Städtische Reischlesche Wirtschaftsschule Augsburg (RWS) is a municipal public secondary school (Städtische Wirtschaftsschule) operated by the City of Augsburg, Germany, located at Alter Postweg 86a, 86159 Augsburg. It delivers the Bavarian Wirtschaftsschulabschluss qualification to students in Klasse 5–10 (typically ages 11–17), combining general secondary education with specialized business and economics subjects under the framework of the Bavarian Wirtschaftsschulordnung (BayWSO) and BayEUG. Enrollment is governed by official Bavarian school-transfer processes from Grundschule, Mittelschule, Gymnasium, and M-Zug pathways. The school also offers a Ganztagsklasse (full-day program) and is led by Schulleiterin Christine Seiler.

The school's core academic product comprises mandatory economics subjects (Betriebswirtschaftliche Steuerung und Kontrolle / BSK, Übungsunternehmen / simulated company, ÖB/DB, Wirtschaftsgeografie, Informationsverarbeitung) and general education subjects (Englisch, Deutsch, Mathematik, Religion/Ethik, Geschichte/Politik und Gesellschaft, MUT, Sport), supplemented by elective courses (Cambridge Business English Certificate, Französisch, Schulsanitätsdienst, Planspiel Börse, Schulband, basketball, and others). The student-run Schülerfirma Paper4You provides practical entrepreneurship experience, while the "Weitblick" prevention concept, annual Berufsfindungsbörse career fair, and partnerships with the Augsburger Panther, Schwaben Knights, Lidl, DLR School Lab, and Stadtbücherei Augsburg anchor career orientation and extracurricular programming. The technology platform is built on Microsoft 365 with Teams, WebUntis scheduling, and learning tools such as Tipp10 (typing) and Anki (vocabulary).

RWS has no commercial revenue model: it is funded by the City of Augsburg, charges no tuition, and admits students through formal state education procedures. The school holds multiple recognitions, including the Fobizz Siegel 2025-2026 digital school certificate, DSDZ – Digitale Schule der Zukunft (2023), Berufswahlsiegel from the Bavarian State Ministry of Education, "Schule ohne Rassismus – Schule mit Courage" status, and a 3rd Prize EU Dialogue Award (2010) for the "House of Cultures" project. As a non-commercial public institution, RWS is not an investable enterprise in the conventional PE/VC sense; the analytical framing here describes a publicly funded educational operator rather than a revenue-generating business.
