The Max-Planck-Gymnasium - mostly abbreviated as MPG - is a grammar school in Trier with a mathematical and natural science focus.
The school's profile today
The MPG has been a MINT-EC school since autumn 2003 and is therefore a member of the Association of Mathematical and Scientific Excellence Centers in Schools . Therefore, the students of the grammar school receive more hourly mathematics lessons (always four hours per week in the secondary level 1) and in the subject "natural sciences" in grades 5 and 6. Furthermore, they complete a compulsory course in all natural sciences in the secondary level 1 (grades 5–10) Laboratory internship. In the 9th grade, computer science can also be taken as a voluntary elective. Overall, the school regularly achieves success in competitions such as Jugend Forscht , the Mathematics Olympiad or Life with Chemistry .
The school offers the choice between English and French lessons in the fifth grade, followed by English / French / Latin as a second foreign language as an elective in the 6th grade. In the 9th grade there is the option to choose a third foreign language (Latin / Spanish / Russian / French) (as of 2017). The MPG has organized student exchanges with England, Scotland, France, Russia, Iceland and Spain. In the 2017/18 school year, a bilingual science class was set up for the first time.
The MPG also offers a "sports class" whose athletically gifted pupils from grades 5 to 8 have intensified physical education; In the 7th and 8th grades, specializations are optionally available in the areas of football, handball, basketball, rowing or athletics. For several years now, MPG pupils have repeatedly achieved top places in youth sports competitions.
Since 2003, pupils of the wind class in the 5th and 6th grades have been able to learn a wind instrument in a class and thus make music in a class ensemble.
In the lower secondary level, the MPG has had a full-day program four times a week since 2007/2008. In addition to lunch in the shared canteen with the AVG Trier, this includes working groups and a learning period in which homework is to be done.
As usual in Rhineland-Palatinate , lessons in the upper level ( Mainz study level , MSS for short) are organized in a system of basic and advanced courses . Here, too, the scientific focus is evident.
Since June 2015 the MPG has also been a "Fairtrade School".
history
The school was founded in 1822 - during Prussian times - as a community school for boys, which means that it was supposed to train boys for practical professions but not for university studies. In 1896 it became a grammar school under the name Kaiser-Wilhelm- Gymnasium; the already existing “Königlich-Prussische Gymnasium” then changed its name to the “ Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium ”, which is still valid today, in the same year to avoid confusion . On May 15, 1948, the name was changed to Max Planck Gymnasium.
By 1997, a total of 5038 students had graduated from the school.
On January 11, 2014, the school celebrated its 100th anniversary at its current location at Sichelstraße 3.
