Gymnasium Oberursel – A Grammar School with a Future
November 7, 2012 By Leave a Comment

The pupils were split across three locations. And I learnt a new word – the green strips on the dark grey façade are called “Einsprengsel”.

The morning began with the headmaster, Volker Räuber, welcoming the guests and highlighting the positive aspects of the new buildings: more space, modern IT connections to allow children to carry on working on projects at home, a large hall with professional sound and lighting, a media library, and three underground sports courts. “Oberursel Grammar School is a school of the future”, he said, continuing “some other schools in the area can only dream of buildings like these”. He also thanked the neighbours for their patience during the building phase. [Read more…]
