The Ernestinum Celle grammar school is a grammar school in Celle ( Lower Saxony ).

It was founded in 1328 as a Latin school . Originally called Schola Cellensis, called Lyceum in the 18th century, the school was recognized as a grammar school around 1830. Since it was taken over by the Prussian state in 1874, it was called the Royal Gymnasium, then the State Gymnasium. It was not until 1928, on the occasion of the 600th anniversary, that the school was given its current name in honor of Duke Ernst the Confessor .

The current headmaster is Johannes Habekost.

history

The exact founding date of the Ernestinum Gymnasium is not known. Although there is much to suggest that there was a Latin school in Altencelle before the new city of Celle was founded, it sticks to the traditional establishment of the year 1328. Since then the school has changed name and building several times.

As a school ( schola ), Latin school and lyceum , it was initially housed in Celle in Kalandgasse. In 1843 it was given a new, large building as the city's grammar school , the former Albrecht-Thaer School, which is now the city library. In 1874 it became a royal Prussian grammar school; it was not until 1954 that the city became the sponsor of its oldest school again.

In 1916 the high school moved to the new building on Magnusstrasse. There the school was named Ernestinum in 1928 and stayed there until the move on February 1, 1978 to the newly built school center on Burgstrasse in the style of moderate brutalism , which was also used for the Burgstrasse orientation level and the Burgstrasse secondary school. Today the Ernestinum shares the school center with the integrated comprehensive school IGS Celle.

School profile

With all the changes in the buildings and names, the character of the school has not changed in one essential point: As 685 years ago, all pupils of the Ernestine can learn Latin and Greek, but no longer have to. English is the first compulsory foreign language from grade 5, and Latin can also be learned as a second foreign language from grade 5 (as "Latin Plus") or from grade 6. From the 2013/14 school year, French will be offered as a second foreign language alongside English from grade 5 ("French Plus") or from grade 6. In addition, the school profile in the linguistic area is largely determined by ancient Greek (elective subject from grade 8) and French (elective from grade 8 or 10). Hebrew , Italian and Chinese are also offered , the basics of which are taught by a Chinese foreign language assistant in a working group. In the 10th grade, Latin or French are offered as a new compulsory or optional foreign language - not only for those who are transitioning from secondary school or high school.

The Ernestinum offers different specializations in the upper level with the linguistic, scientific-mathematical, social-scientific and musical profile. The range of lessons is enriched by a wide range of working groups, the rowing club, art and literature projects, orchestral, choir, band and ski camps, class and study trips, author readings, business games of various kinds, etc. v. m.

The Ernestinum Grammar School maintains international partnerships with schools in Ireland, Latvia, Poland, Sweden, France, China and the USA. The exchange within the European framework takes place within the framework of the “ Comenius Program ”, in which the school has been participating since 2002 under the motto “Paths to Solidarity”. A new Comenius project under the motto "Learning from nature" connects the Ernestinum with schools in Krakow, Eastern Turkey, Sicily and Denmark. The “Run for Life” project developed by the Ernestinum, which will be carried out for the ninth time in 2015, has already raised over € 150,000 for charitable purposes.

The Ernestinum works closely with primary schools through mutual visits to classes in order to make the transition to high school successful, and is a member of the Association for the Promotion of Highly Gifted

Sponsorship

On September 21, 1953, the Ernestinum took on a sponsorship for the Marienwerder grammar school ( Kwidzyn , Poland).
