The Sophienschule is a high school in the Zoo district in Hanover . The school building at Seelhorststrasse 8 is a listed building .
Current
The school cooperates with the University of Hanover , the Ahlem Memorial and the University of Music . Among other things, participation in the school's rowing club , the orchestra , one of the two choirs , the school band , the choir classes, a six-month social project in the qualification phase and other working groups and school projects are offered. Partner schools are located in Rouen , Tallinn , Istanbul and Madrid.
The foreign languages Latin , French and Spanish are taught from grade 6.
In the introductory phase, year 11, the students will continue to be taught in class. There is then the option of deselecting the second foreign language and taking additional courses in the "cultural profile" (art, music, performing games) instead.
For the qualification phase of the 13-year grammar school, the Sophienschule offers four focal points to choose from: linguistic, scientific, social, or artistic-artistic.
Since 2004, due to the increasing number of pupils, a branch has been operated in the dissolved Hermann-Löns-Hauptschule in Lüerstraße. The 5th, 6th and 7th year are taught here.
The Sophienschule has been an open all-day school since the 2011/2012 school year. The all-day program (homework supervision and working groups) takes place Monday to Thursday for the years 5 to 7 in the Lüerstraße branch from 1.50 p.m. to 3.30 p.m.
The grammar school has its own school camp in Hambühren near Celle , to which the 5th to 9th grades are sent annually for the stay in the camp. In the 11th year there will be a trip to Berlin in autumn, which has a historical-political focus. A visit to the German Bundestag and a personal meeting with members of the Bundestag are compulsory, as are memorial sites (Bernauer Strasse and Hohenschönhausen memorials ).
In spring 2016, the city of Hanover began planning the new Sophienschule building in the Zooviertel on the site of the current branch. The new building should be completed in the 2020/21 school year when the first 13-year-old high school graduate starts. Among other things, a modern auditorium, a spacious all-day area with a cafeteria and numerous flexible additional classrooms are planned.

history
The school was founded in 1897 as a secondary school for daughter III . The current school building was built between 1898 and 1900 according to plans by the architect Paul Rowald and was inaugurated on April 24, 1900, initially as a girls' high school. It was named after the Electress Sophie von Hannover (1630-1714).
In 1904 the model of this exemplary school building was presented at the World Exhibition in St. Louis and awarded a diploma. During the German Empire , the school was expanded between 1905 and 1910 ( Lyzeum , Realgymnasiale Studienanstalt) and, due to the rapidly growing number of pupils, extensions were added. The first Abitur exams also took place in 1910.
During the Weimar Republic , the school camp in Hambühren was inaugurated in 1927 . A grammar school-old language branch of the school was dissolved again during the Nazi era in 1936. Since then , the school has acted as a secondary school for girls who - like at all secondary schools in Germany at the time - were able to take their Abitur after 12 years of school.
During the Second World War , after being instructed at the Elisabeth Granier School , training took place in shifts. But the air raids on Hanover in August / September 1943 caused such severe damage to the school building that classes were completely interrupted until the end of the war.
The school was only able to resume operations in autumn 1945; In the early reconstruction years, however, the war damage could only be repaired gradually until 1951, but the shift lessons could not be ended until 1959. Now the Abitur was taken again after the 13th grade.
The school building was renovated in 1961 and 1962 . With the introduction of the orientation level independent of the school type in Lower Saxony in 1978, grades 5 and 6 were formally separated (until 2003), and coeducation was introduced two years later .
In 2011 the Abitur was reintroduced after 12 school years.
