German

In total about 85% of our students are local. Many of our students however have spent a considerable time abroad. In the bilingual track the ratio is approximately two thirds local to one third international.

All our teaching assistants in bilingual classes are either native speakers or on a native level due to university studies and / or considerable time spent in English speaking countries.

As we are a bilingual school, both German and English are languages of instruction. For students who have just moved to Germany we offer individual training (German as a foreign language) for them to catch up as fast as possible. Nevertheless it is important to state that a basic knowledge of the German language is important to be enrolled.
English is taught in the CLIL subjects as well as in the regular English course. Moreover are students are taught Business English as an additional subject starting in grade 9.

- Business English
- French
- Latin
- Spanish (extracurricular)
- Chinese (extracurricular)

Yes we do. Each class has their personal teaching assistant who is with them in various subjects. The teaching assistant therefore is the best person to contact about anything going on in the class.

We have a computer and smartboard in each classroom.
Our classes can use ipads and chrome books.
Moreover we have an IT-room for computer-based courses.

All our students and teachers are provided with a Microsoft Office 365 account.
We want our students not to lose the IT competences they gained during quarantine and lockdown and therefore conduct three to five days per year as online days on wich all lessons are held via Microsoft Teams.

Following the Bavarian curriculum our students attend relgious education courses in either the catholic or the lutherian faith.

For these students we have ethics / philosophy courses. Of course students who theoretically are catholic or lutherian, but still prefer ethics over religion are also welcome in these courses.

Generally good results.

Yes they do. We however have "study hall" as an integrated part of every day. This means that students have the chance to do their homework while being supervised and if necessary supported by their teaching assistant.

As mentioned above, by the time they come home, they have already had the chance to do their homework. Of course it is not possible to guarantee that all students will complete their homework in study hall each day. In grades 5 to 7 however this usually is the case.

All our graduates have the possibility to attend a higher educational institution. The vast majority does so either right away or after a gap year.

Yes we do.

Moreover our teachers are continually updated on how to include and support children with special learning needs in workshops led by experts on this topic.

As mentioned above, we have an on-site team of school psychologists. Their doors are always open for our students.

This depends on the school a new student has attended before.

We are a small school and therefore like a family in which everybody knows and supports each other. It really is the one thing that most of our students and teachers like best about Obermenzinger Gymnasium that nobody is anonymous as it is often the case in the big state schools.

We motivate our students to think outside of the box. It is our goal to provide them not only with the knowledge but also with the skills they need in life. Moreover we see PBIS (Positive Behavior Instruction and Support) as an integral part of our philosophy. This means we avoid telling our students what they should not do, but always tell them what they are expected and / or allowed to do instead.
