Focus of Study :
The Ernst-Kalkuhl-Gymnasium is a three-class school. 681 students currently attend our school. They are taught by 29 male and 21 male teachers. Our half-day classes are attended by 29 students each. From the 2018/2019 school year, our fifth graders will again be taught according to G9, the older students will continue to be taught according to G8.
Benefit, Goal of this course :
Since the boarding school is increasingly being attended by foreign students from different nations, especially in the upper secondary level, we see it as our special task to promote intercultural education and integration in schools and boarding schools through a network of targeted didactic measures and additional teaching offerings ( DAF courses etc.). A member of the teaching staff is responsible for coordinating these tasks as a special area of activity. It remains the boarding school's responsibility to respond to the needs of our foreign classmates in all areas of life. Weekend care and contact with parents are fundamental elements of our educational work. Basically, the educational and professional work of the boarding school is based on the core values of our school. We strive to increase each student's interest and skills through personal attention to each individual student in order to enable them to have a successful and happy time at school here with us.
