The Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Gymnasium (short: JSBG ) is a high school in Windsbach, Bavaria . In the 2018/19 school year, around 580 students attended the school.

history

The grammar school is named after the German composer Johann Sebastian Bach and can look back on a very long and successful tradition.

Initially, it was intended to promote and secure the next generation of pastors in the area of ​​the Evangelical Church.

The establishment of the humanistic education originates from this time, which leads a very lively and fruitful existence to this day.

When the now world-famous Windsbach boys' choir was founded in 1946 , the Evangelical Lutheran college in Windsbach served as the home of the choir singers.

A further expansion in the form of the modern language course (1971) and finally the move into a new school complex (1974) were important milestones in the history of the school. In 1993, the Ministry of Culture approved the affiliation of the mathematical and scientific training course.

In 1983 the school was granted the status of a " music high school " for the Windsbach boys' choir . This means that there are three grammar schools at the Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Gymnasium.

In 2011 the high school gave itself a school constitution. It was renovated by 2011 and a cafeteria was built for the students.

Training directions

There are three types of training at the school:

  • The science and technology high school,
  • the music high school (for students of the Windsbacher boys' choir) and

each beginning with Latin or English as the first foreign language.
