As an evening grammar school sponsored by the Volkshochschule Stuttgart, the Abendgymnasium Stuttgart is a grammar school with a general educational orientation with the aim of offering working adults on the second educational path the opportunity to subsequently acquire secondary school leaving certificate , technical college entrance qualification and general university entrance qualification (Abitur) .

history

In 1946 the creation of an evening high school was suggested by the Württemberg-Baden Ministry of Culture ; The focus was primarily on victims of the war, and specifically not only on men. One demand was that help should be given to all young people who had been directly or indirectly prevented from attending a higher school or from completing a school education as a result of war and the consequences of the war; but also to those who, for external reasons, could not find their way to higher school, although their talent and hard work would have enabled them to successfully attend high school. The evening grammar school was not founded until 1948; the ministry had rejected several applications by then. The first lesson took place in a barrack with students from the bombed-out Eberhard-Ludwigs-Gymnasium ; the move to the newly built building of the Eberhard-Ludwigs-Gymnasium in the Herdweg took place in 1957. At the beginning of the 1948 school year there were two classes with 35 students each (men were still clearly in the majority at that time), of which 31 students passed their first school-leaving exams in 1951.

In 1970 the evening grammar school was recognized as a state-recognized substitute school . For its 25th anniversary in 1973, the evening grammar school had over 300 students. The first branch in Esslingen am Neckar was founded in 1987, the second was founded in Weinstadt in 2002 . The evening high school in Weinstadt became independent in 2009 and Esslingen in 2010. In 1995 morning and weekend classes were set up in response to declining student numbers, and these continue to this day. In 2008 the school had developed into the largest evening grammar school in Baden-Württemberg, in which the participants with a migration background played a large part. Their number has grown steadily since the 1980s.

The evening grammar school has been located in the newly founded Alexander Fleming vocational school at Nordbahnhof since November 2014, as the capacity of the Eberhard Ludwigs grammar school was no longer sufficient due to an expansion of the school building with a new train for talented musicians.

numbers

In 2010 the AG Stuttgart had around 550 students and 62 teachers. More than half of the students who come from over 30 countries have a migration background, which is well above the national average. From 1951 to 2008 around 3,000 students passed their Abitur at the evening grammar school. In addition, there are many graduates with a technical college entrance qualification or intermediate maturity.

degrees

The evening grammar school opens up a path to intermediate school leaving certificate, advanced technical college certificate and high school diploma, which can largely be taken alongside work . The degrees are state audited. The aim of the evening grammar school is the Abitur (general university entrance qualification). It is on an equal footing with that of general high schools and therefore entitles you to study all subjects in Germany. The Abitur examination as such is identical to the Central Abitur in Baden-Württemberg. In addition, the evening grammar school offers two further qualifications in the field of languages: the Latinum and the Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française (DELF for short).

Subjects

Intermediate level

The training is divided into a preliminary course, an introductory phase and an advanced level.

  • In the one-year preliminary course, the preparation for successful participation in the introductory phase takes place.
  • In the following introductory phase, which is also one year old, the students are prepared for the upper level; Successful completion of the second grade corresponds to the secondary school leaving certificate.

Course level

  • In the upper level, subjects can be chosen as courses within a limited framework (course level).

The curriculum for the upper level corresponds to that of grades 12 and 13 of the general high schools in Baden-Württemberg, although the range of subjects is limited compared to the day high school. Class 3 ends with the technical college entrance qualification, class 4 with the Abitur examination.

Core subjects

  • German
  • mathematics
  • English

Second foreign language

A second foreign language must also be taken. This is either

  • Latin or
  • French

In Latin, the small or large Latinum can be acquired at the end, and in French the DELF examination.

Minor subjects

Physics, biology and history

At the end of the intermediate level, biology or physics can be deselected.

    • Lessons in the upper level (from grade 3): From grade 3, the lessons can be composed of morning, evening or weekend lessons. However, the teaching volume is 24 hours per week, which are spread over different days. For the weekend train, this means at least 3-4 lessons per week.
