The Viscardi-Gymnasium (VG) in the district town of Fürstenfeldbruck is the younger of the two high schools in the city. It is a science, technology and linguistic high school with almost 1200 students who are taught by around 100 full-time and part-time teachers.

The namesake

The Viscardi-Gymnasium is named after Giovanni Antonio Viscardi , who as a Baroque builder was responsible for the design of the monastery buildings of the Cistercian Abbey of Fürstenfeld . At the suggestion of the teaching staff, this name was then given by the Bavarian Ministry of Culture in 1974.

School profile

After the double Abitur year 2011 the VG was only an eight-year high school (a so-called "G8"), so the Abitur could be obtained after twelve years . Since the school year 2017/18 the Viscardi-Gymnasium has been a nine-year high school again.

In the 2011/12 school year, the eight-year grammar school comprised grades 5 to 12. From grade 6 onwards, lessons differ only with regard to the second foreign language (Latin or French). The foreign language choice is made in the second half of the school year in which a pupil attends the 5th grade. A choice of the training course takes place only from the 8th grade.

Scientific and technological high school

The science and technology grammar school begins in the 8th grade. From this level onwards, students receive lessons in chemistry and physics, from the 9th grade onwards in computer science. (Language sequence English-Latin or English-French)

Linguistic high school

The linguistic grammar school also begins in the 8th grade. Classes in physics and French as a third foreign language begin at the 8th grade if Latin was chosen two years earlier. Instead of French, students can also choose Italian as their third foreign language. Chemistry classes start in the 9th grade. Computer science is not part of the compulsory subject program. (Language sequence English-Latin-French or English-French-Italian or English-Latin-Italian)
