The Erasmus-Gymnasium is a municipal high school in Grevenbroich . It is named after the theologian, philosopher and philologist Erasmus von Rotterdam and was founded in 1861.
history
The Erasmus-Gymnasium was founded in 1861 as a higher middle school. Due to a lack of acceptance, only 32 pupils attended the school in 1891. In 1891 Franz Ernst became rector. In May 1894, thanks to his commitment, the new school grounds, which had been built in 1893, including 6 classrooms, an auditorium and the director’s villa were inaugurated. In March 1896 the school was recognized as a "Progymnasium with not generally binding Greek and its replacement by English". In 1922 this became a "Realprogymnasium". The name of the school was from 1938 to the end of 1945 “Oberschule für Jungs”, then initially “Gymnasium” for short, then for a while “Kreis- und Stadtgymnasium (old and new language)”, and finally from the school year 1952/53 “Kreisgymnasium”. Since May 25, 1981 the school has been called "Erasmus-Gymnasium".
Due to the introduction of the 60-minute cycle and the legally required lunch break, a cafeteria was built, which was put into operation in the 2011/12 school year after a one-year construction phase.
organization
In each grade of the lower and middle grades there is a bilingual class (English) and a Latin class from the 5th grade.
At the start of the 2009/2010 school year, the 45-minute cycle was replaced by 60-minute lessons.
With the new school year 2019/2020, the 67.5-minute cycle for school lessons was introduced. This was done in order to synchronize the school hours with those of the Pascal-Gymnasium Grevenbroich and thus to enable cooperation.
School trips
In class 5 there is a three-day get-to- know trip, in class 7 there is a five-day trip to Texel or England. A seven-day ski trip follows in grade 9. Different course trips are offered for the upper grades.
Events
Eras-Stuss is an in-school carnival event on Old Women Thursday, at which students identified through a casting have performances.
The Christmas concert, the autumn concert, the forum concert and the spring concert also take place annually.
From March 1996 to 2008 the school theater festival "Minestrone" took place every two years in the school auditorium. Traditionally, theater groups from the Grevenbroich schools perform their plays at the festival.
In 2011 numerous events took place on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the school.
Awards
At the end of 2011 the school was recognized as a school without racism - school with courage . Around 70 percent of all pupils and teachers had to sign a declaration of commitment stating that they would oppose any kind of racism or discrimination. The school is sponsored by the former Federal Minister of Health Hermann Gröhe . In 2017 the school won Germany's best class .
