Cäcilienschule Oldenburg
Cäcilienschule Oldenburg is a Gymnasium (grammar school) in Oldenburg, Lower-Saxony, Germany. The Cäcilienschule is one of the 160 project schools of UNESCO in Germany.
History[edit]
In 1836 Peter of Oldenburg founded the school as an all-girls' school. In 1867 Cäcilienschule Oldenburg was the first public girls' school in the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg. The school was named after the former Grand Duchess Princess Cecilia of Sweden. Since the mid-1970s both girls and boys attend the school.
Cäcilienschule Today[edit]
Today about 970 students attend Cäcilienschule, of which about two-thirds are girls, which is probably due to the tradition of the former girls' school. The school consists of 82 teachers[1] and five student teachers.
Since 1991, Cäcilienschule is part of the UNESCO ASPNet.
