The Scheffel-Gymnasium is a high school in Lahr / Black Forest ( Baden-Württemberg ). It is the oldest secondary school between Rastatt and Freiburg . There was a Latin school in Lahr since the middle of the 17th century . Because the influx of students, the educational needs of the citizens of the up-and-coming commercial and industrial city of Lahr and the traditional canon of subjects were no longer sufficient and the new sovereign, Elector Karl Friedrich , wanted to see the expansion of the school system given priority, the Scheffel-Gymnasium was the forerunner of the Scheffel-Gymnasium founded a pedagogy in Lahr.
The school remained essentially a humanistic grammar school until the end of the 1960s and was expanded into a grammar school with a wide range of input languages in 1970-80 and developed into the largest grammar school in Lahr with over 900 students.
Since the year 2000 the Scheffel-Gymnasium Lahr has responded to the political, social, economic and cultural changes and challenges with new educational offers; instead, ancient Greek was abolished.
Because the school plays a pioneering role in quality assurance and school development, has above-average professional competence, an extraordinary commitment of the teaching staff and has experience with gifted students, it was chosen as the first South Baden school when selecting the 4 high schools for the introduction of regional gifted students.
