Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Gymnasium Oberasbach
Staat: Deutschland
Stadt: Oberasbach

Our school, the Dietrich-Bonhoeffer-Gymnasium, is located in Oberasbach, a small town of 17,000, in the much larger metropolitan area of the cities Nürnberg, Fürth and Erlangen in central Bavaria. The region offers a vast variety of options in terms of sightseeing and activities, such as the Emperor's Castle, historical Old Town, medieval torture chambers and Nazi ralley grounds in Nürnberg, Jewish heritage in Fürth, towns like Bamberg (world cultural heritage) and Rothenburg o. T. (completely preserved medieval town, all-year-round Christmas shop and museum, museum of criminal history), the Bavarian capital Munich and the Alp region, but also Franconian Switzerland (rocky hiking area with caves and toboggan runs) and Franconian Lakeland (recreation area). Our school has around 1,300 students from year 5-13, taught by almost 130 staff members, a quarter of whom are also teachers of English (!) All students study English as their first foreign language, mostly up to their A-levels. Other languages taught are French or Latin (2nd language, obligatory from year 6-10) and Spanish (3rd language, optional from year 8-10). The school has a language-oriented and a science-oriented branch. We participate in a program called "School without racism - school with Courage", are a certified “Fair Trade School“ and have been running exchanges with schools in France and Poland successfully for many years. Some years ago we revived our exchange with a school in East-Jerusalem despite the difficult political situation. Moreover, for a couple of years years we have had successful mutual exchanges with a region in Spain. We now look forward to partnering with one or more schools in an English-speaking country, preferably the U.S., Canada, England or Ireland, to build up a long-lasting relationship with mutual exchange visits every year or every other year, depending on your preferences. Our students are all highly motivated to practise their language skills in a native environment. We have not looked into other exchange options very deeply but might be interested in various projects even with schools from other countries than the ones we named. So please don't hesitate to send us your ideas and proposals.

Wünsche hinsichtlich Partnerschule: We'd like to get in contact with a suitable partner school and work out how both our schools can benefit best from the program. We are open to establishing penfriendships or e-mail friendships between the students first that later might lead to a participation in the actual exchange. We're also open to ideas for virtual exchange projects.
