The comprehensive school Gießen-Ost (also called Ostschule ; abbr .: GGO) is an integrated comprehensive school with upper secondary school and an open all-day concept in Gießen . With around 1300 students, it is also one of the three largest schools in Giessen.

history

The center school in Gießen-Ost started its work on September 4, 1968 with 42 children in the entry level and 171 students in the special needs level. Before that, the Giessen city parliament decided in September 1966 to found a school association for the planned central school. The institution has been an integrated comprehensive school since the school year 1970/71 and began work as such in 1974 with 102 pupils in grade 11 of the gymnasiale Oberstufe. The first class of high school graduates left school in the summer of 1977.

Since it was founded, today's comprehensive school has had three principals (as of 2019). In 2018 the school celebrated its 50th anniversary. It is the oldest integrated comprehensive school in Giessen and one of the largest integrated comprehensive schools with upper secondary school level and a seal of approval for gifted students in Hesse.

Student Council

The student council (SV for short) of the GGO has been working closely with the school management for years and is always open to the needs and concerns of the students.

Building the school

The concept of the school is designed to encourage and challenge each student individually according to his or her possibilities. In the fifth grade, the students are initially taught together. After that, there is an increasing differentiation through a course system, whereby all children receive non-graded remedial lessons in German and mathematics.

After attending lower secondary level, pupils who have qualified for it can attend the upper secondary level of the school or obtain higher educational qualifications at other secondary schools, such as vocational schools.

Subjects and priorities

The GGO is one of the few schools in the Gießen area that offers the subject of work studies. There, students can gain practical experience in the areas of cooking, metal construction, ceramics or wood construction. In the Gießen Young Researchers project , students from the Justus Liebig University in Gießen work together with the schoolchildren on MINT projects. The school has numerous awards such as the MINT-EC certificate or the seal of approval for the gifted, is an environmental school and school with a focus on music. In the school gym games find the Basketball Bundesliga Giessen 46ers instead.

School sponsorships

As part of the Comenius program, there are collaborations with schools in Poland, Finland, Hungary, Slovakia, Portugal and Austria. There are also school sponsorships with France, Italy and the USA.
