It is the second oldest grammar school in the district after the Theodor Mommsen School in Bad Oldesloe . In February 2019 she was appointed to the European School.

history

In 1906 the school began its activities, at that time still as a private school for girls, set up by wealthy citizens after a colony of villas was created in Ahrensburg when the Hamburg-Lübeck railway line opened . In 1910 the striking new building was erected on Waldstrasse, and lessons there began in 1911. In 1927 the school was converted into a public teaching institution and was named Stormarnschule . The conversion to a grammar school began in the mid-1930s . The first Abitur exams were taken in 1944. The number of graduates has now risen to over 4,000.

With the increasing number of pupils, several spin-offs took place in the area from the late 1960s: Emil-von-Behring-Gymnasium ( Großhansdorf ), Gymnasium am Heimgarten, Ahrensburg (today Eric-Kandel-Gymnasium ), Kreisgymnasium Trittau (today Gymnasium Trittau ), Kreisgymnasium Bargteheide (today Kopernikus-Gymnasium Bargteheide ). Today the school has around 800 students and 70 teachers. The school's own cafeteria, which has been offering lunch since 2001, moved from the basement to a new building specially built for it in 2012.

Since 1995, classes 5 to 10 have been offered participation in a branch of music and since 2002 bilingual lessons have been given from class 7. At the same time, in summer 2008, the transition to the eight-year course at the grammar school began. The 5th grades of this entry year were the first to take their Abitur after the 12th grade. This led to two high school graduate classes leaving school in 2016. After a school law change and the decision of the school conference, this change was reversed. The 5th grades, which start school in 2018, will take their Abitur again after nine years, for the first time in 2027. Therefore, there will be no Abitur exams in 2026. The school has been an AbiBac school since summer 2011, which means that it offers the opportunity to take the German and French Abitur in the upper level.

The school is best known for its cooperation with the Ahrensburg Youth Orchestra, but also for successfully participating in competitions such as the Kangaroo of Mathematics , the German Mathematical Olympiad and Youth Debate . In addition, it offers a wide range of working groups . Both the school IT and the stage technology are mainly managed by students. For several years there has been a fitness studio in the basement of the school with the health club . The student council organizes a school for students during the winter months .
