At present, around 1,000 pupils are taught at the Wentzinger grammar school, most of them from the city of Freiburg and the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald (Black Forest).

The name of the grammar school refers to the Freiburg artist and honorary citizen Johann Christian Wentzinger (1710–1797).

The so-called G8 curriculum that leads to the High School diploma in only eight years instead of nine, is no longer offered.

The building complex is located within a public recreation area, the venue of the State Garden Show of Baden-Württemberg in 1986.

The gym, the outside sports facilities and the swimming pool "Westbad", frequently used by the pupils, are all nearby.

Good cycling route lead in the direction of Landwasser, Lehen, Betzenhausen and the city center.

The Wentzinger grammar school offers various languages as well as music and a natural science profile.

In addition to lessons in the classroom, pupils are also free to participate in workshops (currently a choir, an orchestra, a big band and rhythmicity classes).
