Support for school founders

Our member schools and daycare centers were founded by parents who exercised their basic right to establish a denominational school (Article 7 (5) of the German Constitution).
We consciously organize our day-to-day school and daycare activities in the freedom that our constitution guarantees us: That all teaching is shaped by our Protestant confession.

Support for daycare center founders

Many Christian daycare centers (Kitas) have been created through the commitment of parents, but have also been founded by church congregations or existing denominational schools (as a supplement to their offerings).
We are open to children from the age of 1 – or even later.
And we are a good employer – take a look at our job advertisements!
