In 1844 he took over the private boys' educational institution of the late Dr. Ernst August Heinrich Heimburg (* around 1816 in Stelzendorf near Weida , † March 11, 1844 in Jena), consisting of an alumni , elementary school, secondary school branch and high school branch. On December 9th of the same year, he set up the educational seminar with an attached elementary school, which combined theoretical and practical teacher training .

Merits
As the founder and director of the educational seminar in Jena, Karl Volkmar Stoy did a great job. He was an advocate of pedagogy as an independent science and thus founded its process of emancipation from philosophy . For Stoy, the lecture hall and school were equal research and educational institutions in teacher training.
The introduction of the hiking day goes back to him . On August 21, 1853 he hiked for the first time with his entire school community from Jena to Inselsberg . The granite memorial stone, renovated in 2006, is located there .
His idea of holistically grasping, experiencing and shaping schools is compatible with modern educational concepts. At the time, Stoy was unable to meet his demand to combine the professional apprenticeship of the young people with further school education (now called the “dual system”). However, he wrote down his basic thoughts on such a "training school".
The Karl-Volkmar-Stoy-Schule in Jena has been named in Stoy's honor since 2002. In addition, Stoystraße in Jena-West was named after him as early as 1891 .
