The Maria-Ward-Realschule is the Realschule in Burghausen. It offers four compulsory elective areas: Mathematical-scientific-technical, economic, linguistic and social.
The Maria Ward secondary school in Burghausen belongs to the Maria Ward school foundation in Passau. Maria Ward was an English nun active in the 17th century. She founded numerous schools for young women and girls and is regarded as a pioneer for better education for girls. Until 2018, Maria Ward sisters lived in the former convent and today's schoolhouse.
The Realschule offers open all-day care.
At our school, we attach great importance to a family learning and working atmosphere. Only when young people feel safe
they can properly develop their special talents and talents and achieve better learning success.
For this reason, thriving togetherness is also of particular importance
and respectful interaction between students,
teachers and parents.
