The Gymnasium Marienthal ( GymMar ) is a state high school in the Hamburg district of Marienthal , which was founded there in 1972.

School profile

The main catchment area of ​​the grammar school are the districts of Horn , Billstedt and Jenfeld , and to a lesser extent Tonndorf and southern Wandsbek . Comparatively few students come from the eponymous district of Marienthal. A social index of 3 was calculated for the grammar school in 2011 . In the 2016/17 school year, 69% of the students at the Marienthal High School had a migration background .

The grammar school Marienthal works in grades 5 to 10 on a full-time basis . The lessons are mainly organized in double lessons, which are divided into 25-minute breaks. Grades 5 to 10 have a one-hour lunch break. In the case of 4 double lessons on the respective day, there is an additional 10 minute break. A special feature of the Marienthal high school is the German-Chinese branch from grade 5, in which the students have the opportunity to learn the Chinese language in addition to the compulsory lessons according to the lesson table . The Gymnasium Marienthal is the only school in Germany that offers such a branch from grade 5.

For the upper level there is a partnership with the neighboring Max Schmeling district school so that students from both schools can take the profiles of both schools. The lessons in the profile take place at the school offering the profile, the rest of the lessons take place at the student's home school.

The high school offers a talent promotion called LEBL (get started, record, work on, solve). In this context, students work on their own assignments for a year and present them to classmates at the end of the school year. There is the "revolving door" model, in which students are taken out of class for 4 school hours approximately once a month and work on their projects, and the "full day" model, in which 2 hours a week, in addition to normal school life, on the projects is being worked on. With the start of the 2019/2020 school year, the gifted program will be called sMARt-up.

In grades 5 and 6, the Marienthal high school offers the subject of theater and media as a special offer for talented and interested students, which is taught in two additional lessons. There is a school newspaper, formerly “Der Thaler”, today under the title “GMarie”. There are sponsorships with the Lycksele School in Sweden and the Minli School in Shanghai .

Since 2012, the high school has received the "Climate School" award every year.
