Katholische Theresienschule

What Katholische Theresienschule does

Katholische Theresienschule (legal name: Kath. Theresienschule Berlin; DBA: KTS Berlin) is a private Catholic Gymnasium (secondary school) located at Behaimstraße 29 in the Weißensee district of Berlin, Germany. Founded in 1896 and operated under the Erzbistum Berlin (Archdiocese of Berlin) as its Schulträger (school sponsor), the institution serves students from grade 5 through grade 13, culminating in the Abitur university entrance qualification. The school delivers a full academic curriculum across languages (German, English, Latin, French, Spanish), mathematics, natural sciences, social sciences, arts, music, performing arts, and computer science, with Catholic identity, religious education, and school pastoral care integrated throughout. Extracurricular offerings include musical ensembles, KSJ, Malteser, mediation, Model United Nations, a basketball AG, a France exchange, the Philippinen-Projekt service initiative, the Forum Theresienschule, and the annual Theresienball. Student support services encompass counseling teachers (Vertrauenslehrer), advisory teachers (Beratungslehrer), and school social work (Schulsozialarbeit).

The business model is that of a nonprofit Catholic school: revenue derives from a combination of Archdiocese of Berlin subsidies and Schulgeld (tuition) collected from parents/guardians, with fee levels not publicly disclosed. Marketing and admissions run through the school's Joomla-based website (theresienschule.de), an Instagram account (@kts.berlin), a 360-degree virtual tour (vr-easy.com), the Schüler Cloud student login platform, and referrals through the Catholic parish and Archdiocese network. Information evenings (Infoabend) precede the September enrollment cycle for the following school year, with intake focused at grades 5 and 7. The Förderverein der Theresienschule (support association) provides supplementary funding for activities not covered by state or church subsidies. Quintact (Potsdam) handles website development and hosting, and the school shares data-processing arrangements with the Katholische Marienschule Potsdam within the Archdiocese network. The institution is governed as a church-run school under the Erzbischöfliches Ordinariat Berlin; there are no external investors, venture capital, or public market participation. In 2026 the school marked its 130th anniversary while navigating a generational leadership transition, with principal Matthias Tentschert, Frau Zink, and Herr Böckelmann retiring and Herr Bunkowski departing for a state Gymnasium.
