School description
history
The first forerunners of today's grammar school go back to the time of the foundation of the Augustinian choir monastery in Bad Waldsee in the 12th century. In 1222, Henricus scolasticus von Walse, the first teacher known by name, appears. It is not clear whether there was a separate city school in addition to the monastery school.
Until 1969 the school was a Progymnasium . In 1971 she moved from the historic building on the Stadtsee to the Döchtbühl. In 2004 the eight-year grammar school was introduced. It has been an all-day school since 2008 .
Like all general high schools in the state of Baden-Württemberg, the Bad Waldseer Gymnasium introduced the eight-year high school (G 8) in 2004. Due to its comprehensive pedagogical approach, the school was selected in 2013 as one of 44 grammar schools and the only grammar school in the Ravensburg district as a G 9 model school . The Bad Waldsee high school has been an "all-day school in open form" since the school year 2008/2009. Classes take place in the morning and on some days in the afternoon. The school has three courses throughout.
Data
Approx. 600 pupils attend the school, with the catchment area extending into the neighboring district of Biberach. The students are taught by around 60 teachers. All science rooms and the sports hall have been completely refurbished in recent years.
Mission statement
In 2008, the school adopted a model that emerged from three-year so-called SEIS surveys of all parents, teachers and students. In line with the pedagogical orientation, the values of transparency, appreciation and communication are the central components of teaching and cooperation in school boards. Transparency: We disclose decision-making processes and inform each other appropriately, understandably and comprehensibly. Appreciation: We treat each other with respect, appreciate our strengths and respect each other in our differences. Communication: We promote technical knowledge of modern communication and value social skills in everyday interaction. The three terms are also symbolized by the three dots in the school logo.
Pedagogical orientation
All-day school in open form
Since the school year 2008/2009 the school has been run as an all-day school in an open form. This took into account the changeover to the G8 at the time and the associated afternoon classes. Special offers during the lunch break and homework supervision ensure that younger students are also looked after during this time. The canteen, which was inaugurated in 2009, is in the immediate vicinity of the school. The building also includes a cafeteria as well as a media library with over 5000 media and a multifunctional hall as well as a game course.
Pedagogical features
The heart of the grammar school is the “support culture”, which has been expanded since 2007, and the “ELSA work” initiated in January 2008 with a steering group and project groups (projects, each consisting of the collaboration between parents, teachers and students).
