The Otto-von-Taube-Gymnasium is a scientific, technological and linguistic high school founded in Gauting in the Upper Bavarian district of Starnberg in 1967 . The school is best known for its support class for gifted children , a previously unique cooperation program with the Technical University of Munich and the Gauting Indians baseball team , which emerged from a school project there. The high school is named after the German writer and long-time Gautingen citizen Otto von Taube .
history
The high school was founded in 1967. The first director was Winfried Zehetmeier . At first, rooms were used for this in both the elementary school and the secondary school; on November 18, 1971, the move to a new building in a wooded area on the outskirts of Gauting took place. In 1974 1000 students were taught for the first time, and in 1975 they moved into an extension.
Training directions
The grammar school offers two different branches:
- Linguistic high school with three (four) foreign languages in the order Latin, English, French and optionally Italian
- Science and technology high school, with the language combination English-French or Latin-English
Since the 2001/2002 school year, pupils in the fifth and sixth grades have been able to learn an instrument in a wind class . In addition, there has been a scholarship for gifted students since the 2003/2004 school year.
TUMKolleg
Since the school year 2009/10, the grammar school has been running a cooperation project between school and university, the so-called TUMKolleg. Up to 15 students interested in science can take part per year. These are run as a separate upper level train, spend one day a week at the Technical University of Munich and are looked after by mentors there. In addition, the students' W seminar paper is set up as a research project and is largely created at a university chair. In 2012, the project won second place in the “School meets Science” competition organized by the Robert Bosch Foundation .
