The Maristen-Gymnasium Furth (short: MGF ) in the municipality of Furth in the Landshut district is a church-based natural science-technological (NTG), economic (WSG-W) and linguistic high school that looks after around 720 students in the 2018/19 school year. In 2006 the grammar school passed from the Order of the Marist School Brothers to the support of the Catholic School Foundation of the Diocese of Regensburg .

history

In 1946, “a juvenate as a six-class high school for the next generation of the Order” was founded at the Marist monastery in Furth , initially rarely with more than 100 students. In 1965 the school was renamed Marist High School; however, it was not recognized by the state until 1976 . Since then, the school is no longer run exclusively as a boarding school . Because of this, and since girls were also admitted from 1985, the number of students increased significantly. At that time, however, there was still no upper school at the Marist Gymnasium. The students who wanted to take the Abitur usually completed the upper level at the Maristenkolleg Mindelheim or at other fully developed grammar schools.

It was only when the school was about to close in 1989 that the order decided on a “certain expansion of the school” in order to “secure the future of the school in the long term and make it attractive as an offer school”. At the end of the school year 1988/1989 the boarding school was closed. In 1992, planning began for a new building above the monastery in a northerly direction. This was inaugurated on May 26, 1995. In addition, the upper level was offered from the school year 1994/95. In 1997 the first high school graduates were able to pass. Today the school is a state-recognized mathematics, science, economics and language grammar school for girls and boys. On August 1, 2006, the school passed from the Marist Order to the sponsorship of the School Foundation of the Diocese of Regensburg .

Since the boarding school was closed, there has been a “day care center” for afternoon, homework and learning support for the students, now known as an open all-day school . Since 2010, there has also been a closed all-day school where lessons - alternating with leisure units - are spread over the entire day. In order to meet the needs of the all-day school, an extension was started in 2013, which almost doubled the usable area of ​​the school building. It was put into operation at the beginning of the 2015/16 school year. For the expansion of the school, funds amounting to 1.5 million euros have been entered in the 2016 budget of the Landshut district.

School system

Originally only French was taught as a second foreign language due to the French roots of the Marist school brothers, since the reorientation of the grammar school in 1989, Latin can also be chosen.

In addition to the open and tied all-day school, new students are now also available, depending on demand, in a wind class and a football class with corresponding offers.

School life

In 1988, the Friends and Alumni Association of the Maristen-Gymnasium Furth was founded, which since then has raised additional funds for the school to enable it to invest beyond the school budget. Every year in March, the “sponsors festival” takes place.

As part of the “Further Colloquium”, lectures by well-known personalities such as Father Anselm Grün or political scientist Heinrich Oberreuter take place in the auditorium of the Marist High School. In 2008, for example, there were several lectures by well-known mathematicians on the Year of Mathematics . Currently (as of 2015) a run by the association Sternenfreunde Furth e. V. organized a series of lectures by the university professor Josef Gaßner on various topics of astronomy.

In the school year 2014/15 the "Forum Europe at the Maristen-Gymnasium" was brought into being as a lecture and discussion series with politicians from all major parties in and beyond the school family. The "Forum Europe" takes into account the European orientation of the grammar school, which is to be passed on to the pupils.

The Maristen-Gymnasium has a big band and various school choirs, which provide musical accompaniment to various events in the vicinity and once per school year go on a choir trip abroad.
