School profile
foreign languages
The first foreign language for all students is English, from the fifth grade onwards. The second foreign language is taught from the sixth grade, whereby the students can choose between Latin and French. At the Clavius-Gymnasium there is also the possibility of taking the second foreign language after the ninth grade and instead taking Spanish as the third, late-onset foreign language. This must then be taken in the remaining three years up to the Abitur. This procedure should make it possible to achieve a basic language competence even in the language that sets in late .

In the upper level there is a range of courses in this area, the school also strengthens its focus on natural sciences in particular by regularly taking part in the youth research competition and the school taking part in the Vision-Ing21 competition of the Förderkreis Ingenieurstudium eV from the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region as part of the Bavarian Education Pact .
