The Albertus-Magnus-Gymnasium in the Sommerrain district is a state-recognized Catholic independent school sponsored by the Albertus-Magnus-Schulstiftung Stuttgart. The school has existed since 1983 and is organized according to the reform pedagogical concept of the Marchtaler Plan .

location

The high school is located directly at the Sommerrain S-Bahn station and can be reached with the S-Bahn lines 2 and 3 .

history

The school opened on September 5, 1983 in Stuttgart-Sommerrain. The school was set up in the former building of the Collegium Ambrosianum , which had been restructured and moved to the St. Josef College in Ehingen . Even when the Albertus-Magnus-Gymnasium was founded, there was a day care facility with lunch as well as homework and leisure support thanks to the existing kitchen with dining room. The school building was significantly rebuilt by 1988 and inaugurated in 1989.

The initiative to found it goes back to 1957, when a group of citizens close to the church founded the St. Albertus Magnus Stuttgart eV school association with the aim of founding a Catholic high school for boys in the Stuttgart area. After the right property became available, the Franciscan Sisters of Sießen, who also run the St. Agnes girls 'grammar school in Stuttgart, took over responsibility for the new boys' grammar school. In the school year 1991/92 the first coeducational class began at the Albertus-Magnus-Gymnasium due to lively demand from parents. Another decisive educational step was the introduction of the Marchtaler Plan in 1994/95, a reform educational concept based on the Christian conception of man that has meanwhile been recognized as trend-setting. At the beginning of 1991, the sponsorship of the Albertus-Magnus-Gymnasium was transferred to the Catholic Free School Foundation of the Diocese of Rottenburg-Stuttgart  (SKFS). Since 2006, sponsorship has been provided by the Albertus Magnus School Foundation in Stuttgart, a local school foundation that operates under the umbrella association of SKFS. The Albertus-Magnus-Gymnasium maintains school partnerships in Brno (Czech Republic), Mulhouse (France), Devon (USA, Pennsylvania) and Westtown (USA, Pennsylvania).

Students and teachers

The school is three-class and leads to the Abitur in eight years. In the 2011/12 school year over 750 pupils will be taught by around 60 teachers. Heinrich Hoffmann was the founding rector of the school and incumbent until 2002. After Harald Häupler's appointment as the SKFS Foundation Director in summer 2011, the school management is currently the responsibility of Gabriela Künne. Deputy headmaster is Christoph Karch.

Language sequence

The pupils all start with English in the fifth grade and then receive lessons in French or Latin from the sixth grade , so that there is the possibility of taking the large Latinum . The choice of the second foreign language must be made prior to admission to the school. In the course of the seventh grade, the decision for the linguistic or the scientific profile has to be made. Italian is offered as a further foreign language .

special offers

Since the 2013/14 school year, the school has been offering a lateral entry class for secondary school graduates with artistic and linguistic talent who can take the Abitur in a total of three years. With intensive study support, the young people are prepared for entry into the upper level of the gymnasium and then taken to the Abitur at the general high school.
