Thomas Mann Gymnasium

What Thomas Mann Gymnasium does

Thomas-Mann-Gymnasium Oschatz is a public secondary school (Gymnasium) in the German education system, located at Rudolf-Breitscheid-Straße 1, 04758 Oschatz in the Nordsachsen district of Saxony. Operated by the Free State of Saxony (Freistaat Sachsen) under the supervisory authority of Landratsamt Nordsachsen and the State Office for Schools and Education (LaSuB) at its Leipzig site, the school delivers secondary education from grade 5 through the Abitur (university entrance qualification). In 2026, 53 students received their Abitur certificate. The school is led by Headteacher Silvia Knott with Deputy Head Martin Anker, supported by a small secretariat and teaching staff covering subject coordination across Physics/Computer Science, Mathematics-Natural Sciences-Technology, Social Sciences, and Languages, plus a school social worker and an Instagram/public-relations administrator.

The school's product portfolio centers on a bilingual German-French Geography program and the CertiLingua Excellence Label (held since academic year 2015/2016, one of few such accreditations in Saxony), which recognizes multilingual, European and international competencies upon graduation. Additional offerings include foreign language instruction from grade 6 (English, French, with optional Latin), vocational and academic orientation counseling, social work services, all-day school programs (Ganztagsangebote/GTA), themed project weeks, and a Climate School (Klimaschule) sustainability curriculum. The school's digital infrastructure is built on Saxon-ecosystem platforms: LernSax for communication and organization, Beste Schule GmbH for parent and grade portals (including online sick-note reporting by 7:45 a.m.), Indiware's Stundenplan24 for substitution planning, and SchulCMS as the website CMS, with Köhler IT-Services providing implementation support and Menü Partner GmbH supplying catering.

As a publicly funded institution, Thomas Mann Gymnasium generates no tuition revenue; core education is free at point of use, funded through the Free State of Saxony's education budget, with minor ancillary services (meals, extended care) handled by external partners. Outreach is conducted via a trilingual website (German, French, English), Instagram (@tmg_oschatz), the Beste Schule parent portal, and community-facing events such as the Fête de la Musique and the Stolperstein commemoration project for Emil Deubner. Governance involves a Student Council, Parent Council, and Support Association (Förderverein), and the school is part of the LaSuB Leipzig administrative structure.
