📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Das Gymnasium Salvatorkolleg ist eine staatlich anerkannte Ersatzschule in der Trägerschaft der Ordensschulen Trägerverbund gGmbH (Gesellschafter: Salvatorianer der Deutschen Provinz; Franziskanerinnen von Sießen). An der Schule lernen zurzeit 675 Schülerinnen und Schüler aller Glaubensrichtungen und zunehmend auch ohne Bekenntnis, die von 60 Lehrerinnen und Lehrern unterrichtet werden. Unser Ziel ist es die jungen Menschen zum Abitur (allgemeine Hochschulreife) zu führen. Dabei ist es uns wichtig die Persönlichkeit der jungen Menschen zu stärken. Wir begleiten die jungen Menschen auf ihrem Weg ins Leben und helfen ihnen, zu entdecken, was in ihnen steckt. Wir ermutigen sie, ihre Fähigkeiten auszubauen und zu nutzen. Sie sollen dabei auch ihre Verantwortung für die eine Welt erkennen und dazu befähigt werden, diese in ihrem späteren Leben auch wahrzunehmen. Neben dem regulären Schulunterricht stehen wichtige außerunterrichtliche Programme, die diese Anliegen stützen, zur Verfügung. Dazu gehören: regelmäßige Besinnungstage; eine fundierte Auseinandersetzung mit theologisch-philosophischen Fragen in einem zweiteiligen Blockseminar; ein erweitertes Programm für besonders begabte und interessierte Schülerinnen und Schüler; die Stiftung „Horizonte für die Zukunft unserer Kinder“, welche die Schülerinnen und Schüler über die Möglichkeiten eines Auslandsaufenthalts informiert und sie auch dabei unterstützt, diesen Schritt zu tun. Zudem gibt es Austauschprogramme mit Frankreich und Großbritannien. Englischer Text: The Gymnasium Salvatorkolleg is a state-recognized, independently run secondary (grammar) school, operated by the non-profit organisation “Ordensschulen Trägerverbund gGMBH”.The school has 675 students of all creeds and more and more creedless students taught by a staff of 60. Our goal is to prepare young people for their “Abitur” (A-Level/university qualification certificate). At the same time we place great importance on strengthening their personalities. We accompany young people on their path to adulthood and help them to discover their own potential. We encourage them to develop and make full use of their abilities. At the same time they should increase their awareness for their responsibility for the world and also retain this consciousness in later years. Apart from regular lessons there are also important extracurricular programmes available to support these aims. These include days of contemplation, well-founded discussions on theological-philosophical issues in a two-part block seminar, an extended programme for particularly gifted and interested students, the foundation “Horizonte für die Zukunft unserer Kinder” (“Horizons for our Children’s Future”) that informs students about opportunities to go abroad and tries to encourage them to take this step. In addition there are exchange programmes with France and GB-

💼 What the programme involves

The volunteers mostly work in non-formal as well as formal activities, they offer workshops in art, music, language and culture, they are involved in the physical education and in the group of student representatives. They are also involved in the administration and through their presence in the school they leave a big impact. The volunteers are offered the possibility to start their own learning project, they can also support the teachers in learning situations and as well in theatre groups, music groups or they can get involved in the activities of the asylum group that supports asylum seekers in Bad Wurzach and uses the school's facilities for various activities. The Gymnasium Salvatorkolleg is very open for new ideas and projects and is ready to support the volunteers in the implementation.
