history
In 1684 a school building was set up in the "Ofenhüsi auf dem Guggisberg". Other sources say that the first Oberthals school was located "in the Zelg".
" Wednesdays, 4.6. A community was held in Oberthal by Hanss Luginbüels Haus bey der Linden because of a school house, at which community most of the Haussvätter from Hüsslibach, Hargarten, Blaasen, Buch, Bumersbach and Möschberg found themselves and recognized that they themselves had a school and want to build and run a school house without Höchstetten. The first school was in the Zelg. "
In 1871 the schoolhouse was built in the Käneltal, where it still stands today. In contrast to today, the schoolhouse in Käneltal at that time still looked like a typical Emmental farmhouse. In 1930 the new preaching hall was inaugurated, which is also located in the school building. After the schoolhouse was extended 23 years later and a parish hall was built, there was the first Oberthal festival in 1976 in favor of the established gymnasium. Before the major renovation in 1983–1985, the school grounds consisted of a lawn and a playground. The second Oberthal Festival followed in 1985. The renovated sermon hall and the structurally expanded school complex (converted schoolhouse, new multi-purpose facility / gym and other rooms) were celebrated. In the summer of 1986, lessons took place in the newly renovated schoolhouse for the first time.
