Overview
Schule Schloss Salem (Anglicisation: School of Salem Castle) is a boarding school with campuses in Salem and Überlingen in Baden-Württemberg, Southern Germany.
It offers the German Abitur and the International Baccalaureate (IB). With service-oriented programs like firebrigade and a THW (Technical Support Organisation), the school seeks to offer education on a social as well as academic level.
The school was established in 1920 by educator Kurt Hahn with the support of Prince Maximilian of Baden, and was co-educational from the start. In the period of the Third Reich, Hahn, who was Jewish, was forced to emigrate to Scotland, where he founded the British Salem School of Gordonstoun and subsequently the Outward Bound organisation and the United World Colleges.
