The Katharineum is one of the biggest secondary schools in Lübeck (Germany). A group of students at Katharineum started the predecessor project SchoolApps in 2017, which was merged with another project into AlekSIS in 2020.

Katharineum relies almost exclusively on free open source software and supports AlekSIS’ development by providing important feedback, as well as by hosting development sprints.

The Free School Schöneberg (FSS) in Berlin with the school grades 1 to 10 has been a pilot school since 2023. In addition to the focus on the joint development of the timetable and substitution planning features, it is interesting that the FSS follows an entirely different approach to structuring the school in general and school days in particular and that it also pursues new pedagogical approaches. The resulting requirements are taken into account in the development of AlekSIS and help it to meet high standards of flexibility and adaptability.

The Herman Nohl school, a bilingual Italian-German primary school in Berlin-Neukölln, has been an AlekSIS pilot school since 2023. A particular focus of the collaboration is on the further development of the class register and lesson planning features, as there are no adequate free solutions available in this area.
