Albert Einstein School (German: Albert-Einstein-Schule) was a Gymnasium for boys and girls from grades 5-12 in Bochum, Germany.[needs update] It had about 900 students. Just south of downtown Bochum, the school was in the Wiemelhausen section of town and shared a campus with the Hans Böckler Realschule. The school had an emphasis in natural science and English. It had a bilingual program, where some classes were taught in English, rather than German. Albert Einstein School was certified as a European School in February 2008.[1][2] The school's last day of classes was July 14, 2010.
The "Comenius Project," dedicated to exchanging ideas to solve environmental problems, is a joint project of the former Albert Einstein School, in cooperation with Wath Comprensive School in Rotherham, England and Col·legi Pare Manyanet in Barcelona, Spain.[3]
In August 2010, the Albert Einstein School will merge with the Gymnasium am Ostring to form a new school, temporarily named Neues Gymnasium Bochum. Submissions for a permanent name are currently being accepted.[4] The new school will be relocated at the Erich Kästner Schule until the new building construction is completed, scheduled for the summer of 2012. The new buildings will be on the site of the former buildings, which are being razed to permit the new construction.
