MINT EC
The LMG belongs to the Association of Mathematical and Scientific Excellence Centers (MINT EC), as it is characterized by outstanding performance. That is why the LMG places particular emphasis on the subjects of mathematics and computer science as well as physics, biology and chemistry. The focus is on taking part in competitions, offering after-school courses (modules), projects in the MINT area, workshops for students and teachers, and excursions to learning locations outside of school.
Career choice seal
In March 2009 the Lise-Meitner-Gymnasium received the seal of choice for a career. This has since been recertified several times. The seal distinguishes schools with an above-average range and commitment to study and career choice.
Media scout school NRW
The Lise-Meitner-Gymnasium is one of the first media scouts schools in North Rhine-Westphalia to be certified in the 2016/17 school year and have since been recertified. Media scouts are schoolchildren who acquire knowledge on the subject of media and the safe handling of media in internal and external training courses and pass it on to younger and same-age classmates.
Promotion of the gifted: MINT FC
The MINT research club (MINT-FC) has existed at the school since 2010. For two teaching hours per week, particularly gifted science students are exempted from teaching and meet in the science rooms in wing 1 to work independently on science projects. As part of the MINT-FC, the students also take part in competitions. Previous successes were z. B. the entry into the second round of the physics competition "Fuel Cell Box 2010/11". The students received the "Fuel Cell Box" to continue working, which will be available to the school after the competition and thus enrich the lessons.
Music revolving door model
Talented pupils * who learn an instrument at the cooperation partner Music School Leverkusen can “skip” one hour per week from the class and take instrumental lessons with their music school teacher in the school.
whole day
The free study times
Study times for secondary school students take place three days a week in the afternoon. During the learning times there are various offers for individual learning: In the specialist learning counseling, learning tasks can be worked on with the support of a specialist teacher (classic homework is no longer available in the bound full day). In the Silentium, the learning tasks are processed alone in quiet work. In addition, voluntary modules are offered during the learning period. From grade 7 onwards, students can decide for themselves which offer they want to take part in.
Afternoon modules
As part of the full day, the Lise-Meitner-Gymnasium offers a wide range of extra-curricular modules such as B. the robot group, tennis or the 10-finger typing course at the Lise-Meitner-Gymnasium. At the beginning of each semester, students can choose from over 30 offers.
Extra-curricular
Annual work
In grade 8, each student has to write an annual paper of approx. 12 pages on a topic of their choice. This serves to prepare for the later technical work in level Q1. In addition, every student has to look for a supervisor who gives them tips when preparing the annual paper and who also grades them at the end.
Social and industrial internship
In grade 9, every student has the obligation to complete an internship. From the 2020/21 school year this should be carried out as a social internship in a social enterprise. For two weeks, the students get to know the world of work at a self-chosen internship. The experiences and impressions are recorded in an internship report, which is marked at the end by an assigned supervisor. In the upper level, the students do another two-week internship. This time you can choose the place from all business sectors.
PSE days
So-called PSE days are held every year at all levels. Instead of normal lessons, the students learn different methods over three days. Topics are, for example, "How do I prepare a lecture correctly?" Or "How can I better remember vocabulary?".
One world circle
The One World Circle of the LMG runs a one world shop and the cafeteria, the one world café. At the One World Shop, students can purchase exercise books made from environmental protection paper or other fairly traded products, while in the One World Café special attention is paid to healthy eating. The employees work on a voluntary basis. The proceeds will benefit various projects in Tanzania and Nicaragua, for example a leprosy station and various schools are supported.
building
The Lise-Meitner-Gymnasium occupied two buildings for a long time. The main building has four wings in which the staff room, the cafeteria, two sports halls and teaching rooms for all subjects are located. The former adjoining building at the Realschule am Stadtpark is currently occupied by the secondary school in Hederichsfeld.
Wing 1, in which the teachers' room and science rooms are, was renovated in 2008. The renovation work in wing 3 began two years later, and the cafeteria is also affected; it was temporarily housed in the container in the 2010/11 school year, but has been modernized and enlarged since the 2011/12 school year after the renovation work was completed Open to students.
