Description
Alternative schools may only be established and operated with state approval. The application must be submitted to the school supervisory authority with all necessary documents at least four months before the start of the school year.
Approval must be granted if
- the person wishing to establish, operate or manage a substitute school can guarantee that he/she will not violate the constitutional order,
- the alternative school is not inferior to public schools in terms of its teaching objectives and facilities and the academic or artistic training of its teaching staff
- it does not promote the segregation of pupils according to the property status of their parents
- the economic and legal position of the teaching staff is sufficiently secure.
