The Maria Ward Academy for Social Pedagogy in the Diocese of Eichstätt is a state-recognized training center for educators , "which, in the tradition of Maria Ward, attaches particular importance to the professional training of young women." She is a member of the Catholic Schools of Bavaria .
past and present
The beginnings of the school go back to the year 1916, whereby it was not started in Eichstätt , but in Haag as a kindergarten teacher seminar by the Englischen Fräulein . The English Institute BMV Haag (Upper Bavaria) also had a handicraft and business seminar with a housekeeping and trading course . The seminar for kindergarten teachers was also allowed to attend gifted girls from the advanced training or holiday school with the main grade I. Soon a nanny course was added to the school facility. The lessons included the following subjects:
- Religion, education and kindergarten teaching, health teaching and child care, children's literature, civic studies and economics, needlework, drawing, modeling, cutting out, occupational lessons, music and singing, gymnastics and games, home and health studies, cooking and ironing, activity in kindergarten. These subjects are also taught in the so-called nanny course, simplified of course. In the seminar (second year) there is also an apprenticeship after school, lessons in youth and folk literature and school hygiene .
On July 13, 1922, a seminarian wrote to her friend about the theoretical lessons:
- Now I have been in the kindergarten teachers' seminar in Haag for a whole year ... In my class, 1st course (there are two courses), there are 11 students who are very different ages, between 16 and 23 years, and of course of different characters. .. We undertake various activities with the children: the Froebel gifts such as ball, ball, roller and dice; the various building courses, accompanied by nice stories ... Our teaching hours are wonderful, I tell you; this year we had psychology and the application of the various educational tools ... We are no less happy to have our youth literature lessons, where we dealt with parables, fables and fairy tales this year ... The kindergarten teaching then introduces us to our closer sphere of activity and teaches us purpose and Task of the kindergarten, the value of play and employment and the rules of application for this .
In 1929 the kindergarten teacher training was combined with that of the after-school teacher. The seminar was now called the seminar for kindergarten teachers and after-school care workers of the English Misses . The first state examination took place in 1930. During the Nazi dictatorship, the training center was exposed to some harassment because it was a thorn in the side of those in power as a denominational institution. The teaching nuns were repeatedly tested for their loyalty to the state. Eventually the institution had to cease operations in 1939.
After the war ended, the order tried to reopen the seminary. In 1946 the training could be resumed. The renaming of the seminar for kindergarten teachers and after-school care workers to the Fachschule für Sozialpädagogik , in 1968, and five years later to the Fachakademie für Sozialpädagogik with the corresponding job title of state-recognized educator (today: also educator) reflects the innovative path that the school went through.
In 1971 a difficult decision was made, namely the relocation of the training center from Haag to the far away school town of Eichstätt:
- This should open up another career opportunity for young women in the industrially poor region. In addition, numerous socio-educational institutions were established in the district and in the diocese during this time .
The school in the new home quickly enjoyed great popularity. Due to the increasing demands on training and a steady increase in the number of trainees, a new building was necessary, which was inaugurated on December 17, 1984. The new building was built by the Munich architect Bernhard von Busse .
The training period at the specialist academy lasts a total of five years. It is divided into: social pedagogical seminar (2 years), theoretical training (2 years) and internship (1 year).
The diocese of Eichstätt has been the sponsor of the training facility since 2005, which until then was sponsored by the Provincialate of the Maria Ward Sisters in Munich. With the school year 2010/2011 men will also be accepted.
Mission statement
The self-image of the Catholic Academy in Eichstätt is firmly anchored in the Christian faith and in the tradition of the founder of the Maria Ward Sisters . Her job is to support young women in their search for a goal and purpose in life as well as in their personal development. The training to become an educator should enable those to guide the people to be looked after on their way .
