Our school community – playing a democratic part in the success of everyday life
Since 1938 our school has been privately owned by the non-profitmaking school association, the “Max-Rill-Gymnasium Schloss Reichersbeuern” e.V. The School Association Board, consisting of three members, advises the general management.
The present members of the Board are:
- Mr. Dr. Christian Borsche
- Mr. Holger Kirchner
- Mrs. Katharina Rager
Other bodies which play a role in the development of the school are the School Forum, the Parents’ Council, the representatives of the body of pupils and the boarding school, the association of former pupils (the “Altbürger/Altbürgerinnen”) and Friends of the School.
The Staff
Around 60 members of staff are employed at the Max-Rill-Gymnasium Reichersbeuern Castle in the fields of the school itself, the boarding school, the administration, the kitchen, the domestic management and the facilities management, and they are there for you and your children virtually round the clock!
