More than just a social network

Living together in a boarding school community has a life-long impact on individuals and binds them together as alumni for a lifetime.

The alumni association is a close network of former Landheim students. The association’s purpose is to establish and encourage meaningful contact between alumni and the Landheim. The chairperson of the association is a voting member of the school’s advisory council. The current chairman is Hubertus Lindner. His deputy is Steffen Herfurth. Currently this network has approximately 1000 members.

According to the charter from 1971, the association’s purpose is the encouragement of secondary education through visionary and financial support of the foundation Landheim Schondorf and all of its entities in the carrying out of its principle responsibilities.

Member contributions in the form of time and monetary and material donations support the foundation’s non-profit aims and its current students from year to year. Additionally, the alumni association supports students in career networking both in Germany and abroad.

Moreover, the alumni association encourages active contact among former students and with the Landheim.  The alumni association not only organizes regular on-campus reunions, but also invites alumni to attend regional meetings through the organization’s regional branches. Every other year a large homecoming takes place at the end of the school year.
