The Are-Gymnasium is a secondary school located in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler. In 2007, it became the first full-day school in Rhineland-Palatinate with an eight-year academic program. The school's language offerings include English, French, and Latin.

History

[edit]

1970s to 1980s

[edit]

In the early 1970s, the Are-Gymnasium initiated school partnerships and exchange programs with institutions in France and England, expanding in the mid-1980s to include a partnership with a school in Chicago. The school transitioned to a full-time institution in 1974, accommodating students from grades 5 through 13. In 1989, legal action by students and parents successfully prevented the school's closure, with a decision in their favor by the administrative court.[3][4]

1990s to Present

[edit]

In 2018, Are-Gymnasium was officially recognized as a European School,[5] and in 2019, it also gained certification as a Fairtrade School.[6] On July 14, 2021, the school was significantly impacted by the flooding of the Ahr River.[7] Due to the damage, classes for the 2021/2022 school year were temporarily held at the IGS Remagen, and by 2022, in a container village near Ringen.[8][9]

On August 1, 2022, Nina Pfeil became the first woman to assume the position of principal.[2]

Teachers

[edit]

106 teachers have been or are currently employed at the Are-Gymnasium.[10]
