The sports high school is a high school with a special educational focus on sport . A special form typical for Austria, Germany and Switzerland is the ski school with a focus on skiing .

Numerous successful top athletes have emerged from sponsorship at sports high schools.

Curriculum and educational goals

A sports high school has a reduced curriculum compared to the normal high school with a special focus on exercise classes and sports . The pupils at the sports schools have a different day of classes than pupils in normal schools. Your schedule is primarily adapted to the combination of training and lessons . Since the students want to attend a sports high school even from far away places, a boarding school is often part of such a school.

On the one hand, the sports high school fulfills the purpose of a vocational school with admission to a sports or sports medicine course as well as the health and tourism professions . On the other hand, it should offer young competitive athletes the opportunity to attend a higher school and to pass the school leaving examination ( Abitur , Matura ); this offers competitive athletes the opportunity to switch to professional life after the end of their active career. Careers in top sport usually end between the ages of 30 and 40, or much earlier in the event of serious injuries or other reasons. The career from sports high school via an active career to a higher occupation is a frequent résumé for competitive athletes - in addition to joining the army or police, who offer professional security in sports sponsorship with leave of absence. Many active athletes who have graduated from sports high school also take the opportunity to pursue a university degree in distance learning alongside their careers.

Sports high schools seek cooperation with the national sports associations , sports clubs , performance centers , the trainers of the pupils and sports medical care facilities. The composition of the classes is based on the sports of the students. For particularly talented students, classes or courses with very few students are also set up; even private lessons are possible. Some sports high schools also specialize in certain main sports, such as the ski high school or football .

In addition to state education schools, there are also grammar schools as private schools .
