The Georg-Forster-Gymnasium was founded in 1964 as the "Städtisches Gymnasium Kamp-Lintfort ". The renaming took place on June 22, 2012, among other things, the students presented the new abbreviations GFG in a choreography. The renaming is to honor Georg Forster , who also traveled and described the Lower Rhine during his lifetime. However, he never traveled to what is now the area of the town of Kamp-Lintfort, especially since the size and importance of the town was not given during Georg Forster's lifetime.
For the 2019/2020 class, around 750 pupils are attending the grammar school.

Cooperations / partnerships
There has been a cooperation with the Rheinkamp grammar school in Moers for many years , which means that pupils can access a larger range of basic and advanced courses in the upper secondary level. Advanced courses such as chemistry, geography, history, social sciences or sport would hardly be possible without the cooperation. Certain basic courses such as French, Italian, Latin, philosophy or Russian can also be offered as a 3rd or 4th Abitur subject through the cooperation.
Working groups
The Georg-Forster-Gymnasium attaches great importance to further working groups to promote the pupils and offers not only sporting (basketball, football, dance), scientific (aquarium, environment, experimental group, freestyle physics, astronomy) and artistic (choir, gospel, Orchestra) also alternatives such as "Russian Culture", "Legal Studies" or "English for Business".
