Schiller - Gymnasium

The door to your future!

Welcome to secondary school - the next phase of your life that will prepare you for your academic and profes-sional career, both in English and in German.

The SESB at Schiller-Gymnasium provides colourful class-rooms, modern science labs, an active media programme with interactive whiteboards, a landscaped school yard, excellent arts and music facilities, a library allowing inde-pendent study and of course a cafeteria offering healthy food.

The Schiller-Gymnasium supports a long tradition of learning by offering our students a wealth of opportunity for learning inside and outside the classroom. Coopera-tions with Berlin universities and cultural institutions, visits to museums and exhibitions and participation in a wide variety of national and city-wide competitions are just a few examples.

It seems to work — SESB graduates have gone on to study in Berlin, Germany and abroad (Oxford, Cam-bridge,Trinity College Dublin, Harvard, LA Film Academy,

Courses Offered Both German and English are taught at native and part-ner tongue levels in Years 7 and 8. From Year 9 on all subjects are taught at a native speaker standard in Eng-lish and German.

Half of the subjects in the SESB branch (Geography, History, Social Studies, Information Technology, Biology, Music and of course English) are taught in English by a dynamic team of international teachers from the U.K., Ireland and the USA.

Years 7 + 8 One hour of Information Technology is offered in Year 7 and is integrated with Biology or Eng-lish, so the pupils learn to use computer skills in school subjects. Physics and Chemistry (taught in German) are offered as a combined subject to emphasise the shared skills between the Sciences. In Year 7 French is con-tinued (begun in Year 5). In Year 8 pupils opt for an additional subject in one of the following areas: Latin or Italian, Art/Music or Science.

Years 9 + 10 Continuation of compulsory and supple-mental courses given above. Work placement in Year 9. In Year 10 a choice of specialised courses is offered as a preparation for the upper grades. Students pass the bilingual Mittlerer Schulabschluss at the end of 10th grade.

The German Abitur consists of a credit system compri-sing several courses leading up to a final examination in which five subjects (Prüfungsfächer) are examined in detail, of which a maximum of three are examined through English. All subjects offered up to Year 10 in the SESB are offered at pass (Grundkurs) or honours (Leistungskurs) level in the respective language. Pass level courses can also be taken in IT, Latin and Italian as well as various supplemental courses in, e.g. German literature, MUN, Physics, Geography, Art/Music.

Clubs Choir, music ensem-bles, Book Club, school website, me-diation, orchestra, techno-club, Jump in MINT, MUN, DELF, community service, volleyball and foot-ball, are some of the clubs on offer. Please visit our web-site for more details.

School Partnerships In keeping with our international profile, we have ex-changes and partnerships with several schools in England, France, Italy, Lithuania and Poland.

Events From talent shows to summer festivals, from theatre per-formances to cake sales, there is always something hap-pening at Schiller. We find it important to remember our history and learn lessons for shaping our future. See our website www.sgym.de for more details.
