The Johann-Philipp-von-Schönborn-Gymnasium is a linguistic , humanistic grammar school and European grammar school founded in 1660 in Münnerstadt in the Bad Kissingen district . In the 2018/19 school year, 518 students attended the school. They were taught by 52 teachers.

history

The grammar school was founded in 1660 by the Würzburg prince-bishop Johann Philipp von Schönborn with the help of the world priestly order of the Bartholomites .

After the dissolution of this order in 1680, Prince-Bishop Johann Gottfried von Guttenberg transferred the school management to the Augustinians in 1685 .

After secularization in 1803, the school was nationalized and responsibility for the school was taken from the Augustinians. Despite this event, the Augustinians are still closely associated with the grammar school.

The school was run as a humanistic grammar school, later also with a modern language branch.

In 1969, the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture selected the Johann-Philipp-von-Schönborn-Gymnasium as one of the few high schools in Bavaria to introduce the college level in grades 12 and 13 . A little later this attempt became known as the "Münnerstädter Modell".

At the beginning of the 1999/2000 school year, the traditional grammar school took part in the European grammar school trial , whereby the foreign language sequence of the humanistic and modern grammar school ( Latin –English – Greek or French) was retained, while the second foreign language, English, was brought forward to grade 6. There was also an increase in the number of hours in the natural sciences (physics, chemistry) and a new subject (nature and technology) as a compulsory elective alongside other electives.

Since September 2002 the Schönborn-Gymnasium has been running the pilot project “Eight-year all-day gyamnsium”, which is gradually being built up from the 5th to the 10th grade. 54 pupils - that was the highest number of registrations of the six Bavarian all-day grammar schools in the 2002/2003 school year - were taught and looked after all day in two classes in the 5th grade. Success in teaching and upbringing is to be ensured with new teaching methods, a rhythmic day-to-day organization, leisure time tailored to children and young people, and conscious upbringing. After just eight years at grammar school, the young people pass the Abitur.

The project got off to such a successful start that two new all-day classes were set up in the following year. In the 2004/2005 school year, three more all-day classes will be added.

The nine-year high school ends with the Abitur in 2011. In the same year, the first high school diploma takes place in the eight-year high school ( G8 ).

Eight-year all-day high school

In addition to the G8 branch, which was introduced throughout Bavaria for the fifth and sixth grades in the 2004/2005 school year, the Schönborn-Gymnasium also offers all-day lessons as part of the GT8 branch. The GT8 is characterized by individual care by educators and the possibility of lunch in the neighboring study seminar “St. Josef ”as well as through the use of modern teaching methods. Written assignments are completed in the school on days with afternoon classes. The full-day branch in a bound form comprises grades 5 to 10. The teaching and leisure activities for these classes extend from Monday to Thursday from 8 a.m. to 4.10 p.m., and on Fridays until 1 p.m. On Friday, individual supervision of the students is possible until 2 p.m.

Student co-responsibility (SMV)

The SMV helps shape a large part of school life at the Johann-Philipp-von-Schönborn-Gymnasium. In addition to the three student representatives, who are newly elected at the beginning of each school year, there is a special working group made up of all SMV members who are characterized by their particular commitment. This group of around 50 students organizes numerous projects together with the student representatives: in addition to dance events such as the carnival, summer and Christmas ball, the SMV arranges, among other things, tutoring opportunities. In addition, the student council is involved in numerous charitable concepts, for example by supporting an aid project in Sri Lanka since the 2004 tsunami disaster. In addition to other fixed campaigns in the school year on St. Nicholas Day or Valentine's Day, the SMV initiated the production of a school T-shirt with the high school's coat of arms, which has been sold since the summer of 2007.

School newspaper "Glocke"

At the Johann-Philipp-von-Schönborn-Gymnasium the school newspaper “Glocke” appears three times a year. In the 2004/2005 student newspaper competition , which was advertised by the news magazine Der Spiegel , the bell achieved the following top placements: best photo, best report, third-best layout and a top place in the “magazine content” category. It was the best school newspaper in Germany at the time. After the editorial team was able to take part in the Spiegel competition with great success in the 2005/2006 school year, it achieved 2nd place in the “Issue content” category in May 2007, which it shared with the OHnE of the Erich-Hoepner-Gymnasium Berlin. The background was a joint newspaper edition in which the “OHnE” reported on life in rural Münnerstadt, while the “Glocke” took a closer look at the metropolis on the Spree. The result was a newspaper with two parts and two front pages. After winning the competition for Lower Franconian school newspapers in October 2007, another award comes from May 2008, when the spring edition of the “Glocke” came 8th in the nationwide mirror competition in the “magazine content” category. In addition, the school newspaper took second place in the competition of the Franconian school newspapers in 2008 and first place in the competition of the Ministerial Commissioner for the grammar schools in Lower Franconia for the fourth time in a row. The most recent award from the school newspaper comes from June 2009, when it repeatedly made it into the top ten for “magazine content” in the Spiegel competition. This means that the “bell” has been represented in this category for six years, something that no other student medium in Germany has achieved.

Student exchanges and study trips

In addition to exchanges with foreign schools, the Johann-Philipp-von-Schönborn-Gymnasium offers its students numerous trips.

This begins in the 5th grade with a one-week stay in the Reichmannshausen school camp in the Rhön, which primarily serves to get to know each other. In addition, the 6th grades travel to Bremerhaven on the North Sea or to Oberau im Allgäu. In the 7th grade, a ski course is traditionally offered in Flachau and Wagrain, just as it was the case in the 8th grade up to 2005: This second ski course trip was replaced in 2006 by the so-called “reflection days”.

In grade 9 there are several parallel offers: there is initially the possibility of participating in a student exchange with the Kossuth-Lajos-Gimnázium Mosonmagyaróvár ( Hungary ). In addition, the school maintains contacts with the German School Washington, D. C. ( USA ), with which a student exchange for ninth graders has also been set up in recent years. In grade 10, the students usually take part in the student exchange with the Lycée Alfred Kastler Stenay ( France ), as Stenay has also been Münnerstadt's twin town for more than 30 years. After all, the 11th grades go on a one-week study trip to Munich every year, with Berlin being the new destination for the eleventh graders since 2006. Finally, the canon of journeys in the 12th grade ends with the Abitur trip, which took the prospective high school graduates to Tuscany around 2007 and 2008. In July 2009 one group went to Northern Italy and a second to Barcelona.

However, various additional short excursions are offered in the basic and advanced courses, such as the Heligoland trip in the geography courses.

Cultural offer

Several choirs, two big bands and an orchestra contribute to the musical education of the students: there is a lower and middle school as well as an upper school choir, as well as a wind ensemble and a school orchestra, which has a youth orchestra. Younger students can also join the junior band of the John Philipps Big Band. There has also been a band of GT8 students since the 2005/2006 school year who play in a specially equipped rehearsal room in the study seminar during their free time. All these groups regularly show their skills at internal school celebrations, but they also perform in front of the public at the annual summer concert in July.

In addition to the musical offer, school life is also enriched by regular performances by the theater group of the lower and middle grades, as well as the basic course in dramatic design. In the 2006/2007 school year, the up-and-coming actors showed the play We Play Shakespeare - a modern version of Shakespeare's Midsummer Night 's Dream , while Bertolt Brecht's high school staged the fear and misery of the Third Reich .

In the 2007/2008 school year, the high school theater group performed the existentialist comedy God by Woody Allen, and also the Feuerzangenbohlero by Horst Frings in July 2008.

In March 2009 the high school group staged the play Before we go by Kristo Sagor.

General renovation

The Johann-Philipp-von-Schönborn-Gymnasium has two wings that date from 1962 and 1972. Since March 2006 these have undergone a general refurbishment, primarily to expand the student capacities. The construction work has already created two new classrooms, while the existing rooms are being restructured and thus an optimized space is available. In the course of the renovation, the following areas were newly created: a glazed lounge in the entrance area with cafeteria and internet access, two connecting corridors between the two parts of the building, as well as halls for biology and chemistry classes and a computer room. In addition, the school yard was redesigned. In September 2008 the completely renovated school was inaugurated.
