European high school

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European Gymnasium is a school experiment in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg .

Bavaria

The European Gymnasium ( Egy for short ) in Bavaria was a school experiment that started in 1992 and was expanded in 1999 to include various variants I to III. The school trial ended with the final implementation of the eight-year grammar school (G8) and the completion of the eleventh grade at the last nine-stage grammar schools in the school year 2008/2009.

The aim was "to take particular account of the idea of ​​Europe and the importance of both foreign languages ​​and natural sciences in a Europe that is growing closer together."

To this end, foreign language skills (three foreign languages) and science lessons were strengthened. The second foreign language began in the sixth grade and the third foreign language (acquisition of basic knowledge) was added in the tenth or eleventh grade. In type II, physics lessons were also intensified in the ninth grade . Computer science , nature and technology were compulsory subjects at type III grammar schools .

Baden-Württemberg

The European grammar school in Baden-Württemberg is a variant of the old-language grammar school and goes back to an initiative by Education Minister Annette Schavan in 2003.
In addition to the two ancient languages Latin and Greek, two modern foreign languages ​​are taught at the European grammar schools in Baden-Württemberg . The four languages ​​are learned in staggered phases. The third language is added in the eighth grade, the fourth foreign language in the tenth grade. The pupils can take one of the first two foreign languages ​​or keep all four until they graduate. These modern foreign languages ​​include English, French, Italian and Spanish.

In the upper level of the European Gymnasium, two foreign languages ​​are compulsory; it must be a modern and an old language. If the results are successful, the pupils receive the “European Gymnasium” certificate with their Abitur certificate.
