The Fürst-Johann-Moritz-Gymnasium (FJM) is a high school in the Siegen district of Weidenau ( North Rhine-Westphalia ). It was named after Johann Moritz (Nassau-Siegen) (1604–1679), a Dutch field marshal. The school has been recognized as a MINT-EC school for its commitment in the MINT area .
history
The school was first mentioned in 1886 as the "Rector's School" and "Higher Private School". It was officially founded on April 1, 1914, when the school was taken over by the Weidenau community. The move from the Weidenauer Kapellenschule to Ferndorfstrasse and the conversion to a state secondary school took place. In the school year 1919/20 the conversion to an upper secondary school took place , so that from then on the school could acquire the Abitur. At the beginning of 1944, classes were discontinued due to the Second World War . A bomb attack on March 7, 1945 damaged large parts of the school building. In January 1946 the school reopened. On September 22, 1948, the school was given its current name and was declared a grammar school.
school
Since mandatory afternoon classes take place at the school, a cafeteria was designed in which a warm lunch and support concepts are offered.
For more than 20 years, there has been a student exchange with the Ecole Catholique Saint Dominique in Vichy for grade 9 .
The school newspaper strebergarten has been published since the 1950s .
