particularities
Fast learner program
The high school participates in the fast-learning program. Two class trains from grade 5 are accepted each year, and they complete their Abitur in twelve years. In addition to the regular timetable, the quick learners attend enrichment courses. These courses serve to promote the gifted. In smaller learning groups, teaching is project-based and student-oriented. In addition, two normal class trains from grade 7 are enrolled every year.
Notebook classes
Since the 2009/2010 school year, laptops have been used in class . These are financed by the parents; those who cannot find the money for it receive support from the school's learning resources association. The aim is to increase the students' media skills and expand the range of courses. After consultation with the staff and between the departments, the computers are used in lessons for a period of time depending on the class level of the students.
Furnishing
There is a WLAN school network that enables every student to work with the Internet for research and school preparation .
The school is completely free of chalk. There are permanently installed, electronic blackboards ( smartboards ) in all rooms, which, for example, enable digital presentations to be shown in all rooms. The school organization is also computer-aided, in particular through digital notice boards, which are used for current announcements and the presentation of the substitution plan.
There are specialist rooms for chemistry, physics and biology. A fully equipped music room is available.
On each floor (except in the basement) there are two separate student toilets, which are equipped with environmentally friendly, water-saving flushing.
Basketball hoops and a soccer field are located directly on the school grounds. Two sports fields and two spacious modern gyms are used for physical education and sports interest groups, all of which are located in the immediate vicinity of the school (Eugen-Roth-Weg).
The school yard was completely redesigned a few years ago. A “green classroom”, which previously consisted of an open-air wooden stage and several rows of seats, is to be rebuilt after the pedestrian bridge has been successfully converted. The bicycle racks in the courtyard provide the students with numerous storage options for their bicycles.
The school has a solar system on the roof and a wind turbine for environmentally friendly energy generation.
78 teachers and 13 trainee teachers teach at the school (as of 2019).
Renovation of the attic
After the last major overhaul of the school building in 1991, the dilapidated gymnasium was demolished. Since an investigation at the beginning of 2012 found no longer permitted wood preservatives, the top floor, in which the two art spaces are located, was also completely renovated and expanded, so that the capacity of the building was increased. It was also planned to build an auditorium with a few classrooms at the old location of the gym.
In order to ensure the continuation of the lessons, two grades were initially taught in the Melanchthon Gymnasium . After it became clear that the statics of the lower part of the building had to be changed for the roof extension, the basement was also blocked and two more classes were accommodated in the Melanchthon grammar school. The top floor was completed in 2019.
The auditorium was completed in 2016 and the upper floors during the 2017 summer vacation. The subject rooms can be used since the beginning of the 2018 school year.
World Peace School and School without Racism
On July 1st, 2003 the Otto-Nagel-Gymnasium was awarded the title “ School without Racism, School with Courage ” for special commitment, tolerance and cosmopolitanism. Schools thus make it their task to consciously and with full commitment to oppose discrimination , bullying and violence. With the help of sustainable and long-term projects, the climate between all learning and teaching people at the school should be improved and, in particular, racism should be overcome. In openly dealing with a problem and finding common paths, students should learn to respect one another. The title represents a self-commitment for the present and the future. It says: “We take responsibility!” The Otto-Nagel-Gymnasium is one of a total of 630 schools that are also part of the network.
On October 1st, 2009 the Otto-Nagel-Gymnasium was also awarded the title “Peace School”. This award honors schools that are particularly committed to the “Work for peace” project. The pupils at Otto-Nagel-Gymnasium spent one afternoon helping buyers in Kaufland at the Biesdorf Center. In total they were able to collect 2000 euros with this campaign and this money was used for educational projects in Africa. The title was awarded by the World Peace Service and the Berlin Senate Administration.
