«Education, economy, environment – hand in hand. With us, climate makes school!»
«We don’t learn for school, but for life», is an old, well-known saying. At our school, of course, we learn for both – and this is demonstrated by the topic “Climate School”. It is about raising awareness of the scarcity of our resources, it is about sustainability, it is about the future of our young people.
This is what we want to commit ourselves to as a school, in order to prepare our students for life. School management, staff and students will work together to develop visions for the future, deepen their expertise and look for solutions. For the world of tomorrow, for the world of our students.

«I think it’s great that the business high school is participating in the program. I’m excited about the many different projects and of course I won’t miss the opportunity to get an idea of the school’s creativity on site. The fact that we care about the climate is important for everyone. So it’s all the better that the WG is anchoring the topic in the minds of the students in an original way.»
«Sustainable business means: Social, ecological and economic concerns must be weighed up against each other again and again and brought into a reasonable relationship. With its certification as a Climate School, the Wirtschaftsgymnasium is making a contribution to environmental protection today and preparing its students for their studies and the world of work.»
«Shared experience and action are particularly important in the field of sustainable education. – Knowledge from the subject lessons is the basis, but more is needed; we want to show that we can all be part of the solution!»
«The mission of every school is to prepare children and young people for the future. This includes protecting our planet. It is more important than ever to take responsibility and act. I am very pleased that the Wirtschaftsgymnasium is taking a step in this direction.»
