The Chemnitz School Model (CSM) is a state all-day school and was founded in the 1990/91 school year. The pupils can attend the school from the 1st to the 10th grade and acquire a secondary or secondary school certificate. This type of school is also known as comprehensive school or community school .
The peculiarities of the "pilot project" are the educational character of the school. "Characteristics such as self-confidence, willingness to perform and take risks, team spirit, tolerance, moral courage, creativity, ecological awareness as well as peace and social skills should be developed and promoted." The lessons take place in block form, i.e. in 90-minute blocks instead of the usual 45 minute school lessons. In addition, some subjects (natural sciences, etc.) are taught in epoch form instead of the usual one or two hours per week. Grades are only awarded from year 8 onwards, before that the pupils receive a personal “learning development report”. So-called gifted subjects such as music, art and sport are not awarded grades until the 10th or 9th grade.
In December 2006, the Chemnitz school model was the only school in Saxony to qualify for the German School Prize , for which 17 more from 481 schools across Germany qualified. Ultimately, however, it was not among the winners.
In the course of 2013, the Chemnitz school model was moved in stages from the old school building on Dürerstraße to Stollberger Straße. The new building offers more rooms and possibilities for the now two-class school operation.
