Attending the school is free of charge and is supported by BAföG . The college students are required to study the same amount of time as regular high school graduates. Preparations for the Abitur take three to three and a half years and are divided into the following phases:

The school is supported by the independent association “Association of Friends and Patrons of the Victor Klemperer College”. Iris Spranger ( SPD ) and Sebastian Czaja ( FDP ) are currently chairmen of the friends' association. Sebastian Czaja is a former graduate of the Victor Klemperer College.
Names
The school was given its current name in 1996 when the students voted in favor of the name of the Romanist Victor Klemperer . This naming led to close contact between the school and the second wife and widow of Victor Klemperer, Hadwig Klemperer , who, despite her old age, came to Berlin to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the college. In return, until her death (2010) she was regularly visited by fellow students and teachers of the college as part of the Victor Klemperer commemorative trips to Dresden.
history
In 1991 the VHS college was founded in the Allee der Kosmonauten in Berlin-Lichtenberg . In 1996 the school was officially renamed the Victor Klemperer College. In 2003 the school moved to Marzahn and has since been located at Martha-Arendsee-Straße 15.
In 2006 there was an anonymous bomb threat , which resulted in a large-scale operation by the police and fire brigade, and which was reported in the media.
The college initially offered space for up to 600 students. Extensive renovation measures took place from 2009 to 2012. In addition to a complete renovation of the entire building, the roof construction was also renewed and the statics and fire protection improved. Since then, the school has accommodated 780 students.
External review
In 2014, an external review of the Victor Klemperer College by the Berlin School Inspection took place as planned. In her report, she attested that the school had a friendly teaching atmosphere, caring for its colleagues, and was well equipped with smartboards, computer workstations, a theater stage, cafeteria, modern specialist rooms and a school library.
The evaluation saw particular strengths of the Victor-Klemperer-Kolleg in the committed action of the school management, in the extensive range of lessons, in the creation of specific learning conditions through the use of different media, in the comprehensive advice of the colleagues as well as in the continuous cooperation of the teachers on school priorities.
Development needs were identified in the implementation of the language promotion concept in the classroom, in the promotion of independent learning and the integration of school development projects into an update of the school program.
