St. Antonius high school
The St. Antonius grammar school is a public school with a lower grammar school ( secondary school ) and a maturity school in Appenzell .
history
The "Kollegi" was headed until 1999 by the Capuchins of the Capuchin Monastery, which was closed in 2011. In the years before, a secular faculty also taught alongside the monks . Since the school was taken over by the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden , it has been correctly called Gymnasium , but is still called "Kollegi" (college) in everyday language. As the name suggests, this school is dedicated to Saint Anthony .
The last spiritual rector was Father Ephrem, while the first secular rector was Ivo Bischofberger , who resigned from his position at the end of the 2011/2012 school year. His successor, Roman Walker, took over this post from then on. After two years in office, there was a bitter blow of fate for the grammar school, whereupon Silvio Breitenmoser became Rector ad interim for the 2015/2016 school year. Markus Urech is currently the principal of the grammar school.
Infrastructure
The grammar school also has a boarding school, which can accommodate 52 students.
The Education Department of the Canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden, various rooms of the Appenzell Music School and the Foyer dal Cappuccino are housed in the same building.
The "Gymi-App" was programmed by students as part of the promotion of talent for the iPhone and shows, among other things, timetables, news, the menu plan of the cafeteria and a holiday countdown .
