The Realschule Ascheberg is one of the secondary schools in the Westphalian community of Ascheberg with the secondary school in Herbern and the Ascheberg profile school, which was newly established in 2011 . The school employs 30 teachers, a secretary and a caretaker. Around 550 pupils attend the school in three to four parallel classes per year. A total of 20 subjects are taught. Many students travel by bus from the surrounding area. There are two buildings with classrooms and a sports hall on the school premises.
Officially, it is not an all-day school, but there is a lunch menu available. Thanks to a large selection of working groups and homework support every afternoon, every student can be looked after at the school until 3:30 p.m. Students from the nearby University of Münster are often employed in the working groups. This is a cooperation between a school and the university responsible for teacher training.
A student library is available. The students are self-organized.
School history
The private rectorate school founded in 1867 can be regarded as the predecessor of today's secondary school. It is due to an initiative of some citizens of Ascheberg. As so-called guarantors, they agreed to be liable for the school with their personal assets. For almost 70 years, the Rector's School was a kind of pro-grammar school that prepared children who wanted to study for attending grammar school. But it was also an institution that provided elementary school graduates with additional education.
After the war it was continued as a middle school and was officially called Realschule.
Even at the Rector's School, the catchment area extended beyond the municipal boundaries. Today, students from Drensteinfurt and Nordkirchen also attend the Ascheberg secondary school. A certain minimum number of students is required for a full institution to exist. In order to ensure this, a secondary school boarding school was founded in 1960 in the former agricultural school in St. Katharinen-Stift on Nordkirchener Straße (today Sozialwerk St. Georg ). A Father of the Steyler Missionaries took over the management .
In the first few decades there was no school building of its own, so the school found its accommodation one after the other in different houses in the village until the big old boys' school in front of the church could be made available for the secondary school. After the construction of the full institution, however, this building was no longer sufficient.
In 1960 the council decided to set up a new school building for a fully developed secondary school system. The new building was inaugurated on October 19, 1963. There was no shortage of student numbers in the years after the school was rebuilt. The expansion of the school into the two-class room was decided in the spring of 1967 for the coming school year.
Competitions
In 1999, the school was one of the winners of the NETDAYS NRW with a project on blood and organ donation . Together with four other schools, it won the special multimedia-based cooperation for one another and was awarded hardware and software equipment, donated by Hewlett-Packard , Microsoft and Ernst Klett Verlag .
In 2001 the school again took part in the competition with the two projects forced laborers in Ascheberg and renewable energies . These projects were also honored, this time with the special prize of the jury We for our city .
Equipping with computers
The Realschule Ascheberg was one of the first schools in North Rhine-Westphalia to be fully equipped with computers. As a result of the competition described, each classroom could be equipped with its own PC. There are also three IT rooms equipped with the latest hardware and software.
The systems are maintained by an external company so that the pedagogue's workforce is not tied up by looking after the network. This model is also still uncommon within the school landscape.
