The Uri Cantonal Middle School ( KMSU ) in Altdorf UR is the only public grammar school in the Uri canton . The school was founded in 1906 by Benedictines as the college of Karl Borromeo and handed over to the canton in 1978.
history
The school was founded in 1906 by Benedictines from the Mariastein monastery and dedicated to St. Charles Borromeo . In the first year of school, 131 students attended the grammar school, of which 62 lived in the in-house boarding school. Between 1934 and 1937 another school building was added to the south of the main building, which was later enlarged again.
In 1975 the in-house boarding school was closed and the premises were converted for school operations. The remaining interns were accommodated in the St. Josef boarding school of the Mariannhiller Missionaries. In 1978, the sponsorship was transferred to the canton of Uri, before the Benedictines finally withdrew from school service at the end of the 1980/81 school year. Since the number of pupils at the boarding school continued to decline, the St. Josef boarding school also closed in July 1994.
Infrastructure
The main building from 1906 with the chapel attached to the east is protected as a cultural asset of regional importance (B object).
The school premises consist of the main building, the attached middle wing from the 1930s and the south wing connected by a passerelle. Today the chapel is mainly used as an auditorium. Teaching is also in the former teachers' seminar, which is around 350 meters away on Klausenstrasse in the neighboring municipality of Bürglen . There is also a double gym , a sports field, a 100-meter running track and a lounge that was renovated in 2014 on the school premises .
offer
The grammar school offers the main subjects “Physics and Applications of Mathematics (PAM)”, “Economics and Law”, “Spanish”, “Italian”, “Music” and “Artistic Design (BG)”. "Latin" was also offered up to the Matura 2019.
Since 2016, the high school has offered a bilingual Matura course, with the subjects biology, chemistry, geography, history and physics being taught in English from the fourth grade onwards.
There are around three classes per grade. One of them is run bilingually.
In addition to the compulsory classes, the school offers various optional subjects. The Kollegimusik, the Kollegichor and the Kollegiorchester hold two concerts a year, while the Kollegitheater puts on a piece every spring.
