Rilke Schule Verein

About Rilke Schule Verein

Our Mission:

To engage in activities relating to the support of Rilke Schule German School of Arts & Sciences, the education of the children enrolled therein, the fostering of relationships between the school, parents, teachers and the community, and to serve its members and the public.

The Rilke Schule Verein has the following Goals:

• Coordinate Volunteers: Volunteers provide many educational benefits and enrichment opportunities to the students of the school. Supporting the teachers and administration extends their ability to teach our children.

• Raise Funds: Every school has needs that are not met by state, local and federal funding. This is especially true in charter schools where the school must pay for its own facilities. Supplemental fundraising can pay for equipment, supplies, faculty, training, professional development, enrichment programs, special events and more.

• Provide Culturally Relevant Events Throughout the Year: The RSV orchestrates a number of culturally relevant events throughout the year. These events honor the German culture, promote school unity and pride and help develop our student’s into global minded individuals.
