The Berufliche Oberschule Scheyern, which is home to the Staatliche Berufsoberschule (BOS) and the Fachoberschule (FOS), which has existed since 2012, is an important building block in the area of further education.
The BOS offers young people the opportunity to acquire a subject-specific or general higher education entrance qualification after successfully completing their vocational training. In other words, a path that combines vocational and school education on the way to university.
In the 11th grade of the FOS, the focus is on practical training, which comprises around half of the teaching time and mainly takes place in companies in the district. The commitment of the Business Advisory Council in the district of Pfaffenhofen has helped enormously to provide all pupils with an internship.
The good atmosphere between students and teachers as well as the pleasant flair of the school setting in Scheyern Monastery with student accommodation gives the FOS-BOS a very good reputation that extends beyond the region.
The association was founded in November 2013 and aims to promote and support vocational training, further education and training, cooperation between groups involved in school life, school and company partnerships at home and abroad, contacts between companies, internships and vocational schools, the procurement of learning materials of all kinds and the organization of scientific and cultural events as well as the education and qualification of teachers.
The first field of action addressed by the association was inclusion. The aim is to invest in the existing potential of people with physical or mental disabilities, but also those with a migration background, for example.
