The St. Michael Paderborn grammar school is a private grammar school in the old town center of Paderborn . The Archdiocese of Paderborn has been responsible for the grammar school and the neighboring secondary school in St. Michael since 2012 . Boys have also been admitted since the 2013/2014 school year, previously St. Michael was a girls' high school.
history
The grammar school was founded in 1658 by the Augustinian choir women . In 1945 the school was closed by the National Socialists and in January 1946 the sisters reopened it as the first of the Paderborn schools. In addition to the "modern language girls' high school", the Realschule was established in 1950 as a new type of school. In 2012 the Augustinian choir women handed over the sponsorship of the St. Michael high school and the St. Michael secondary school to the Archdiocese of Paderborn. Since the 2013/2014 school year, in addition to three girls' classes, boys have been admitted to the St. Michael Gymnasium for the first time and taught in separate classes up to grade 9 (parallel single education).
School life
School services are offered regularly in the St. Michael monastery church . In addition, church services are held in Paderborn Cathedral and ecumenical services in the Abdinghof Church on special festive days . The so-called early bird service on Fridays in the monastery church before the start of the lesson enables you to experience community more intensely through breakfast afterwards. Other spiritual offers of the monastery include, for example, the use of the meditation room to switch off for so-called "quiet breaks". The “contact bar” is a discussion room open to everyone, where school chaplains are available for discussions for pupils and parents.
In regional and supraregional projects (e.g. Haiti, the children's hospice in Paderborn, girls' schools in Guatemala, partnerships in Africa and South America, etc.), schoolgirls take initiative and responsibility on their own initiative.
In addition, the social internship enables schoolgirls in the EP grade to get in touch with people who need help.
The student exchange program has existed for many years and is intended to give grades 8 to EP the opportunity to expand language skills and cultural knowledge. Partnerships exist with schools in Bolton / England, Amiens / France, Ireland, India and Mezőberény / Hungary.

Student Council
| The SV is a group of schoolchildren from the eighth grade who volunteer for the SV work project. They are supported by two SV teachers who are elected annually by the students. The SV tries to represent the opinion of the students and thus forms a mediating role between the student body and the school management. They are also represented, for example, on the school conference committee in which seven pupils participate in discussions and decisions.
Your tasks include, among other things, representing the student body. If classmates do not agree with the conditions or decisions at our school, have ideas for improving everyday school life or have other suggestions or requests, they are welcome to address everything. You can be reached by everyone in the SV office (BU04) during every major break. They are happy to receive criticism, requests or suggestions and then discuss them in our weekly SV meeting. Of course, other things also belong in the area of responsibility of the student council. For example, they are the organizers of the high school's annual cultural evening, organize the supply of coffee and cake during the parents' day and the open house, and organize project weeks and parties such as the welcome party for the fifth grade. In addition, they always try to enrich the everyday school life of their classmates by organizing activities such as a Santa Claus campaign for Santa Claus and a rose campaign for Valentine's Day, as well as the school ceremonies at the end of the school year. Beyond the walls of our school, they get involved in the annual table campaign, which takes place in cooperation with the Paderborner Tafel at Christmas time for the benefit of disadvantaged families in our school building. They also work in higher-level bodies, such as the Paderborn City Youth Council. We always have something to do! The SV is open to everyone! |
