The boarding school at Schwarzenberg Castle has existed since 1968. Currently, around 510 pupils attend the private schools at Schwarzenberg Castle. Up to 80 of them live in the boarding school, some of whom also attend state schools in Scheinfeld. The schools and boarding school are run by the Mathilde Zimmer Foundation eV based in Berlin. Schwarzenberg Castle is an associated member of the Evangelical School Foundation in Bavaria. In addition to school education, basic values ​​are taught at Schwarzenberg Castle. Our holistic upbringing strengthens the individual in his personal responsibility and lays the foundation for a successful future.

The exam results of our castle schools are very often above average compared to the national average. In the past 15 years, exams were often achieved that all graduates passed. Our boarding school students also benefit regularly from the exam preparations. In small groups, these take place in the examination subjects in the boarding school and also in the afternoon as part of the open all-day school in the castle. For those graduates who not only attended our privately run schools, but also the state schools in Scheinfeld, such as the middle school, the vocational school center or the grammar school, there was almost exclusively a pass rate of 100%. In the past 50 years of the Schwarzenberg Castle Schools and the boarding school, more than 5000 pupils have successfully completed their respective school leaving certificates. As a private school and boarding school, we have a highly committed staff in the field of teachers and educators. In the past five decades, the family school atmosphere with small classes has been consistently pursued.
