The European School Marie-Curie-Gymnasium (MCG) in Neuss was founded in 1969 as a municipal high school in the northern part of the Furth district . It is housed in two buildings, both of which are architectural monuments .

history

The MCG was founded in 1969 as the 2nd municipal girls' high school . Since there were no high schools in the north of the city at that time, the Jostenallee location in the Furth district was targeted in the medium term. After four years of wandering through various parts of the city, the intended location could finally be occupied in 1973. The profile of the school has been shaped to this day by the commitment of the first female headmistress, Christel Weyhe, who studied chemistry. On her initiative, the grammar school was given the name Marie Curies in 1971 and was primarily influenced by the natural sciences, which is clear from the introduction of the dual qualification vocational training to become a chemical-technical assistant in 1975. This is a special educational offer of the school that is still very popular today. The introduction of coeducation at the Marie-Curie-Gymnasium in 1974 also coincided with the Weyhe era .

In 1992 the Theodor-Schwann-Gymnasium merged with the Marie-Curie-Gymnasium Neuss.

The school has had a bilingual upper level since the 2013/14 school year. In 2016 there was the first bilingual Abitur class.

building

The main building on Jostenallee was built in 1914/15 and was intended to house a Royal Prussian teachers' college . As a result of the reorganization of elementary school teacher training in 1925/26, the seminar, like all other teacher seminars, was closed. In 1926 the municipal, commercial vocational school moved into the building. After the Second World War , several workshop buildings were built, which were converted after the Marie Curie grammar school moved in and served as science classrooms. The entire building is a listed building .

The second building on Annostrasse was built in 1912/13 and later expanded with an extension without upper floors and a gym. Other schools were housed in this building until it was assigned to the Marie Curie Grammar School, e. B. the Paul Gerhardt primary school.

Educational offers

The school has a bilingual branch. It is possible to acquire the A-Level (Advanced Level, the highest school leaving certificate in Great Britain).
