The Megina-Gymnasium Mayen is an old-language high school in the Rhineland-Palatinate city of Mayen . An English- bilingual branch is also offered. The name of the school takes on the early medieval name of the city, Megina.
history
The Megina-Gymnasium emerged from the higher middle school , which existed from 1862 to 1902 in Mayen, and the adjoining Progymnasium . It was founded in 1907 as a humanistic grammar school , and in 1950 it was converted into a modern-language grammar school. Initially located in downtown Mayen , in 1963 it moved to the so-called Knüppchen , a hill on the edge of an extensive forest area, where it is still located today.
In the mid-1970s the grammar school was the largest grammar school in Rhineland-Palatinate in terms of the number of pupils with 1850 pupils.

The facility has around 1000 students who are taught by over 80 teachers. The school is a math and science focus , has a bilingual stream and offers in high school advanced courses in numerous subjects. The orchestra and the big band are known nationwide.
