School profile
In addition to the lessons, the school offers various working groups, including a sailing, volleyball, mountain biking, art and belly dance group. The school has its own choir, orchestra and theater company. She successfully takes part in numerous competitions, for example in the “Jugend forscht” competition, and in 2007 she received the recognition award from the chemical industry for successfully using her gene laboratory for five years . In the school year 2009/2010 the teaching time was increased from 45 to 60 minutes on a trial basis. This concept was confirmed and continued in a later survey of teachers, students and parents.
The school has had a partnership with a Polish school in Warsaw since 1995 and with a school in Togo since 2005 . The two old branches of school have had a very close school partnership with the Lycée Jean Perrin in Lambersart, France since 1964 and with a school in the United States since 1987 .
The school shows commitment to sport, among other things, by organizing the “Mini EM” and “Mini World Cup”. There, 32 school teams from the Viersen district compete against each other in a tournament, each representing a participating country. The school also organizes a charity run every three years together with the sports festival. The students have sponsors who donate for every kilometer they run. The proceeds will be donated in part to local institutions and used for the school's Togo project.
The school is breaking new ground in the field of new media. The school's media concept stipulates, among other things, method training and an extensive internet security concept. The school clearly positions itself against bullying and cyber-bullying, in this area there is also close cooperation with external partners, e.g. a. with the prevention commissioner in Viersen.
history
In 1992 the Erasmus-von-Rotterdam-Gymnasium was founded. The school was created by merging the modern language grammar school on the Löh (founded in 1873 as a lyceum / girls' grammar school) and the city's humanistic grammar school (founded in 1904 as a Latin school in 1526). The school uses the buildings of the former grammar school on the Löh .
