The Herschel School is a full day - school in Hanover Vahrenheide . The Herschel School was the first grammar school in the city of Hanover that had a language learning class. It is also a school without racism - school with courage . The school building on Grosse Kolonnenweg was designed by architects Arno JL Bayer and Harald Leonhardt and is a listed building .

history

The Herschel School emerged from the Lutherschule Hannover . In 1957 the Lutherschule was divided into the Lutherschule I and the Lutherschule II. The latter was named Herschel School after Wilhelm and Caroline Herschel in 1960 .

Location Großer Kolonnenweg

The school complex in Vahrenheide was built in 1965/1966. A renovation took place in 2001, during which, among other things, pollutant-containing materials were replaced and photovoltaic systems with 90 kW were installed on the flat roofs , which are part of the wind and solar energy project in the Hanover region.

In the last few years the Herschel School has been transformed into an all-day high school. In 2010 the first smartboards were procured for the classrooms and construction of the new cafeteria, a 40 m long, 25 m wide and 3 million euro building, began. The new cafeteria was completed in 2011; before construction began, a building from 1971 that existed at this point was demolished.

The Sahlkamp branch, formerly the Sahlkamp orientation level , was given up in summer 2011. In 2015 the school comprised 3.5 trains per year, so that alternating 3 or 4 trains per year could be set up.

The sports hall of the Herschel School is the venue for the basketball men's regional league team of TK Hannover .

For reasons of monument protection, a planned expansion of the school is time-consuming and should drag on until 2023.

profile

In 1993 the Herschel School became the first all-day high school in Hanover. The school has a branch of music from the 2nd half of the 5th grade with four hours of music lessons with a brass class that has existed since 1997. From the 7th grade onwards, bilingual lessons in English are offered in the social science subjects geography and history as well as the natural sciences biology and chemistry. In the qualification level, there is an option for a scientific, linguistic, social or artistic focus. As working groups the sports rowing, canoeing, volleyball and badminton as well as theater offered. Gifted students receive a scholarship to spend a week in the XLAB student laboratory in Göttingen during the Easter break .

Since May 2001 the Herschel School has been part of the School without Racism - School with Courage network .

In February 2004, the Herschel School established a language learning class as the first grammar school in the state capital, through which children with a migration background and of different ages should be able to acquire the German language in such a way that they can then take part in regular school lessons.

In 2017, the school participated as one of two Hanoverian schools and a total of 61 schools across Lower Saxony in the “Humanitarian School” campaign of the Lower Saxony Youth Red Cross .

In 2017, students of the Herschel School from the 10th and 11th grade founded the student company Woodpeckers as part of a working group of the Junior project , in which pencil cases, floor lamps and garden benches with weatherproof seat boxes were made from old maps and gymnastic mats and sold via the online shop. The student company thus achieved third place and won 200 euros in the state competition of Lower Saxony.
