The Goethe Gymnasium is the only gymnasium in the Hanseatic city of Demmin . It offers musically gifted students the opportunity to be accepted into a music class that is part of the normal grammar school. The school is therefore known as the music high school . In the connected boarding school , foreign students are primarily accommodated.

Music high school

From 1983, in the East - in addition to the special schools for music systematically, - Extended Secondary School (EOS) set up with the special branch of music. Such a school was planned for each of the fifteen districts. The Goethe-EOS was selected for the Neubrandenburg district and expanded accordingly.

This tradition has been preserved in Demmin to this day. Talented students can be accepted into one of the music classes from the fifth grade onwards, provided they pass the aptitude test. In addition to the usual music lessons, the students receive a wide range of musical training, which includes singing in a choir , piano lessons or learning to play a wind instrument, as well as optional voice training lessons . All students in grades five and six form the sparrow choir. Grades seven to eight sing in the children's choir and then in the youth choir. In addition, students can take part in the girls' chamber choir, the male choir, the big band, the saxophone quartet, the swing band and other ensembles. The high school students who do not come from Demmin itself can live in the adjoining dormitory.

Profile school with a focus on Low German

The Goethe-Gymnasium Demmin has been one of six profile schools with a focus on Low German since the 2017/2018 school year . At these schools, Low German can be taken as an oral and written examination subject in the Abitur. On the basis of a nationwide concept that was created by a network of teachers, the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture has signed a target agreement with each school on the design of the respective profile focus.
