Gymnasium High School in Germany
Zinzendorfschulen - Private boarding school in south-west Germany:
The Zinzendorf schools in Königsfeld are among the largest state-recognized private schools with boarding school facilities in Germany. Christian values and cosmopolitanism have shaped the model of the school in Protestant sponsorship for more than 200 years. Our boarding houses in Königsfeld in the Black Forest region (in the state of Baden-Württemberg in south-west Germany, close to Freiburg, France and Switzerland) is open to students of all denominations and nationalities, and provide around 70 boys and girls in grades 5 to 13 with a “temporary second home”.
German Secondary (High) School Curriculum:
Pathways leading to the general higher education entrance qualification (‘Abitur’)
- Gymnasium specialising in social and health sciences (with psychology and education as the specialist option) or
- Gymnasium specialising in business and economics (with business as the specialist option).
Gymnasium is the most advanced of the 3 types of German secondary schools, and strongly emphasizes academic learning. This type of academically-oriented secondary school is comparable with college prep schools in the United States, and with the British grammar school system.
Developing the Whole Personality
The Zinzendorf schools help young people to develop their strengths, to shape their lives responsibly and to find their way into our society.
This includes not only the transfer of knowledge, but also the development of creative talents and social skills. Pupils should develop joy in their ability to accomplish and achieve something.
We help our students, against the background of their own life goals, interests and values, to use their strengths and to set priorities. In addition we offer other advisory options in cooperation with the Telos Institute for Student Counselling and Education Consultancy based in Tübingen.
