The Eichenschule is a state-approved, privately owned grammar school in Scheeßel . It is one of the few private cooperative schools in Germany . The school sponsor is the "School Association Eichenschule eG".
The oak school was founded in 1947 on a parents' initiative. The first headmaster was Robert Strunck. On November 12, 1948, 12 Scheeßel parents founded the "School Cooperative Eichenschule eG". From 1958 to 1974, its second chairman was Paul Karl Schmidt , who had been press officer in the Nazi foreign ministry from 1940 to 1945.
At the oak school, around 1000 to 1250 students in mostly five-class grades 5–12 are taught. The college comprises 84 teachers . The monthly school fee is between 94 euros (2013/14 school year) per month for students who are resident in the Rotenburg (Wümme) district and 146 euros (2013/14 school year) per month for students from outside Germany.
The oak school is known for its successful activities in the fields of art , basketball , handball and theater .
A long-term cooperation with TV Scheeßel in the field of athletics resulted in nationally and internationally successful athletes, especially in the 1980 / 1990s. The Whitsun Sports Festival was an institution in the German athletics scene for years.
The Oak School's boarding school also belonged to the Oak School's cooperative until 2003.
On November 9th, 2006, the new two-field sports hall of the oak school was inaugurated, which is unique in its structure because it is L-shaped. The current headmaster is Christian Birnbaum.
In 1992 the oak school gained notoriety when the 13-year-old student Stefan Jahr disappeared from his room that night. The boy's body was later found in the Verden dunes . This incident marked the start of the school campus murders , a series of murders of boys.
