The Auguste-Viktoria-Schule (abbreviated: AVS ) is a modern language grammar school in Flensburg . It was named after the last German Empress Auguste Viktoria .

history

The school was founded in 1886 as a "higher, more elegant girls' school" . Between 1910 and 1912, today's schoolhouse was built in the Südergraben . A building with a high portal and wide hallways. The architect of the building was Paul Ziegler who designed it in the style of homeland security architecture. In 1912 to 1913, the school building in the courtyard facing Kanonenberg street, the former Hebbelschule, which today serves as House B of the Auguste-Viktoria-Schule, was built according to his plans .

Co-education was introduced in 1965 and since then boys and girls have been taught together. In 1970 the buildings of the former Hebbelschule were incorporated into the Auguste Viktoria School. Bilingual classes have existed since 1991 .

In foreign language classes , students have a choice of five subjects: English , French , Spanish , Latin and Danish . In addition, from the 7th grade onwards, individual subjects are offered in English as part of bilingual lessons (currently music , physics and geography , the latter up to the Abitur).
