The Gymnasium Cäcilienschule Oldenburg ( CSO or “Cäci” for short ) is a general education high school in the city center of the Lower Saxony university town of Oldenburg . The Cecilia School is one of the 160 project schools of UNESCO in Germany.
School history
In 1836, the Oldenburg Prince Konstantin Friedrich Peter founded a girls 'college , from which the Cäcilienschule emerged in 1867 as the first public girls' school in the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg . The school was named after the former Grand Duchess Cäcilie von Oldenburg (1807–1844). Both girls and boys have been attending the Cecilia School since the mid- 1970s .
The Cecilia School today
Today about 970 pupils attend the Cecilia School, of which about two thirds are girls, which is probably due to the tradition of the former girls' school. The college consists of 102 teachers and five trainee teachers.
The Cecilia School has been part of the international network of UNESCO project schools since 1991. Official recognition as a “unesco project school” followed in October 1998.
Since 2008, the power supply has consisted entirely of green electricity, and copies are only printed on recycled paper.
As a further specialty, the Cecilia School offers a musical branch for musically gifted children from grade 5 onwards. In grades 5 to 9, students in this branch receive increased music lessons in theory and practice. As a result, the Cäcilienschule is known for its ensembles: big band, orchestra, combo, choir and small musical groups prove the school's excellent musical education, which is complemented by the subject of art. The gallery in the school documents this orientation.
In order to do justice to the diverse and extraordinary interests of its students, the grammar school introduced the compulsory elective area in the secondary level. The differentiated offer is consistently continued in secondary education through the introduction of additional subjects. Because here there is the possibility of taking the subjects Philosophy, Economics, Computer Science and Performing Games as additional subjects outside the usual range of subjects at a school in the upper secondary level.
The Cecilia School maintains international exchange programs with schools in Pennsbury near Philadelphia (Pennsylvania / USA), Buc near Paris (France) and Saint Petersburg (Russia).
After the elimination of the orientation levels in Lower Saxony, the Cäcilienschule is the only Oldenburg inner-city high school that teaches all students in one building. In 2006 a second music wing was added to the building.
