The DPFA Akademiegruppe is a leading, future-oriented family-run educational company with over 35 years of tradition, headquartered in Zwickau and operating at eleven locations in Saxony and Lower Silesia/Poland. Originally founded in 1990 as Deutsche Private Finanz Akademie with a focus on business management training, the DPFA has developed into a broadly based educational provider that combines both general education and vocational training and further education[1][2].
The focus of the DPFA is on pedagogical work with children, young people and adults: From the DPFA-Regenbogen-Schulen, which accompany children from kindergarten through elementary school to Abitur, to offers in the training of social assistants, educators and speech therapists in their own Akademie für Pädagogik. Thus, the DPFA combines school education with qualified vocational training and further education[1][3][6].
The DPFA attaches great importance to an open and appreciative attitude that promotes respect, tolerance and democracy. The company clearly positions itself against extremism, discrimination and anti-Semitism and is committed to a free and democratic basic order. This is also reflected in the work with inclusive concepts and integrative language courses, which are intended to support people with different backgrounds[3].
An essential component of the DPFA is also cross-border cooperation: With its subsidiary Europrymus in Poland, the DPFA operates the Schulzentrum Tęcza in Zgorzelec and maintains close partnerships between German and Polish schools, and there are also Erasmus cooperations that promote European exchange. This cross-border perspective underlines the DPFA's educational claim to overcome borders and promote sustainable networks[1].
In the area of sustainability, the DPFA is particularly committed to promoting socio-pedagogical professions, integration and inclusion, and to aligning its educational offerings with social and global challenges. The binding commitment to respect and democracy and the educational offer with a focus on social learning and inclusion are central aspects of its sustainable development.
In summary, the DPFA Akademiegruppe offers a comprehensive educational portfolio that accompanies the individual life path of learners with pedagogical passion, qualifies them both academically and professionally, and focuses on social responsibility and European networking. The DPFA stands for education with tradition, human attitude and visionary orientation[1][2][3].
