Home of the Knights
Netzaberg is located in the Oberpfalz (Upper Palatinate) region in the German State of Bayern (Bavaria). We are located in a rural community, approximately 60 miles/97 kms NE of Nuremberg. The town lies approximately 2.5 miles/4Km outside the gates of the Grafenwoehr Training Area and is composed entirely of the 830 leased housing units, schools, and community facilities. NMS services the students affiliated with the USAG Bavaria (Vilseck, Grafenwoehr, and Netzaberg Village). One of the unique features of Netzaberg MS is that it is part of the Netzaberg Community, which includes a Shoppette, Netzaberg Elementary School, Netzaberg Community Chapel, Youth Services facilities, and a Child Development Center. The area is exclusively a community support area so there is limited traffic and it is centrally located for those living in the Netzaberg Village Housing Area. We are physically connected to our educational colleagues at Netzaberg Elementary School. This unique physical and educational connection has allowed the Netzaberg Knights to partner with elementary students (e.g. Reading and Writing Buddies, Kinder PE Coaching, STEAM collaborative activities, Bavarian Fasching Festival, NMS Community Fun Runs, AVID support, and Drama presentations) throughout the school year. We also partner with the German Eschenbach Gymnasium (6th -12th) with various educational events (Science, Engineering, Physical Education and Junior Leadership Seminar Pen Pals).
Netzaberg Middle School was completed in 2008. The students and staff take great pride in maintaining their facility. During SY 2015-16 our Science and Band Addition was opened for student use. For the Performance Arts, we are proud to offer students Band, Choral, Strings, Art, Drama, and Video Productions. We also offer Intro to Programming and are competing again this year in the DoDEA FIRST Lego League Robotics Challenge.
