Organization
Since 1921 the Jesuits have operated a boys boarding school in Bonn Bad-Godesberg. Ninety-four percent of the budget for the school is provided by the German Land of North Rhine-Westphalia even though the college is non-governmental independent school. The remaining 6%is provided by subsidies paid by the archdiocese of Cologne. The school itself is open to everyone. The State conducts the school-leaving examination (called the Abitur, the equivalent of the A-levels in the UK) and proposes the subjects of instruction. In turn, the school is recognized by the State, and a successfully completed Abitur by any graduate allows admission to a German university. Lodging, food and boarding costs are about 14,000€ per year. Boarding costs of students from impoverished families are sponsored by the Jesuits or out of the tuition fees of other boarding school pupils. The Society of Jesus (Latin: Societas Iesu), commonly known as the Jesuits, is a Roman Catholic religious order. ...

German School System The German school system differs slightly from the educational system in the English-speaking world. After four years of primary school the pupils are selected to attend three different levels of secondary school types. The "Gymnasium" is the highest school type where children stay nine years and finish with their "Abitur." Usually German classes are numbered starting with 1 (first class at primary) to 13 (in some countries to 12; e.g. in North Rhine-Westphalia since 04/05), the final class, when the pupils take their Abitur. Some older secondary schools still use the practice of numbering classes in reverse order using their Latin names, i.e., sexta, quinta, quarta, untertertia, obertertia, untersecunda, obersecunda, unterprima and oberprima - the final class. Tertia, secunda and prima are divided into "unter" (under) and "ober" (over) for historical reasons. A gymnasium (pronounced with or, in Swedish, as opposed to ) is a type of school providing secondary education in some parts of Europe, comparable to English Grammar Schools and U.S. High Schools. ...
Abitur (from Latin abire = go away, go off) is the word commonly used in Finland and Germany for the final exams young adults (aged 18, 19 or 20) take at the end of their secondary education, usually after 12 or 13 years of schooling. ...
A characteristic of the German school system is the wide choice of subjects. German language is obligatory. The first year students take all the same courses (except their different choice of first foreign language): (German plus first foreign language), mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, geology, history, music, art, sports and religion (religion at private Catholic schools only). Later on pupils can specialize and concentrate on foreign languages with less natural sciences or vice versa. You can opt out of an advanced mathematics or science course to take an advanced level language class, for example, but one cannot opt out of both mathematics and chemistry or physics. At upper stage you have to select two "Leistungskurse" (intensive course)and two "Grundkurse" (basic course). A Leistungskurs is held about 6 hours a week, a "Grundkurs" about 4 hours a week in opposite to the rest of the courses who are only held 2 hours a week. For the Abitur all exams of the final 2 1/2 years are relevant. The 4 main subjects are weighted more than the others.
Languages At the start Latin or English can be selected as first foreign language in the entrance class (5 or sexta). At quinta (6) the second language starts (Latin or English). A third language like Ancient Greek or French can also be selected. At the beginning of the upper stage Italian and French again stand to the choice as foreign languages. For other uses, see Latins and Latin (disambiguation). ...
Beginning of Homers Odyssey The Ancient Greek language is the historical stage of the Greek language[1] as it existed during the Archaic (9th–6th centuries BC) and Classical (5th–4th centuries BC) periods in Ancient Greece. ...
Sciences Within the mathematical-scientific range mathematics, biology, physics and chemistry as well as music, art and computer science, within the socio-scientific range geography, history, philosophy, literature and social sciences are taught.
School Competitions The Aloisiuskolleg (AKO) terminates every year on front places at regional, national or even international school competitions in sports as well as in natural sciences like physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, music, art or computer sciences. Please find a list of awards for the most recent competitions here. As a result of the PISA study the school was ranked on place 4 in Germany and on the first places in Europe. Also in other OECD studies the school is usually ranked on upper places cross Europe.
Religious Education The attendance of the religious courses is obligatory. Catholic and Evangelist pupils visit their appropriate courses, while other pupils have to select between one of the courses. Occasional attendance of the other religious is also possible.
Influence of the Church Religion takes part of the daily life, starting with morning prayer, joining the obligatory religious courses, to go twice a year on a retreat and also to attend the church once a week. A part of this, the content of the courses is regulated by the law of North Rhine-Westphalia. For example, religious beliefs like the creation of man are not part of the biology courses. All courses have to follow todays scientific knowledge.

International Co-operation The College attaches importance to international contacts, and has promoted cultural exchange with other countries since it was founded. Exchanges have taken part since 1997 as part of the European Union's COMENIUS program, which promotes the co-operation of European schools.

Educating Goals The Aloisiuskolleg still views itself as a Jesuit school and depends on the educating principles of the society of Jesus, or Ratio Studiorum. Jesuit education aims at a worldly and life-affirming attitude and always calls for learning and investigation of all areas of life from a Christian point of view. The Ratio Studiorum, 1598 The Ratio Studiorum (Latin: Plan of Studies) often designates the document that formally established the globally influential system of Jesuit education in 1599. ...
History
Establishment in the Exile as Consequence of the Cultural Struggle (Kulturkampf) As a consequence of the cultural struggle (Kulturkampf), the State of Prussia took over by law the supervision of all Jesuit schools in 1872. On 12 August 1900 the German arm of the society of Jesus took the Aloisiuskolleg to Sittard, the Netherlands as an all-boys school with boarding facilities. This started with German Patres, 43 internal and 38 external pupils on 29 September 1900 with one pre-class, a sexta and a quinta class. This was the actual start of the Aloisiuskollegs. The German term Kulturkampf (literally, culture struggle) refers to German policies in relation to secularity and the influence of the Roman Catholic Church, enacted from 1871 to 1878 by the Chancellor of the German Empire, Otto von Bismarck. ...

Removal to Bonn Bad-Godesberg and the Nazi The law against Jesuits ("Jesuitengesetzt") was repealed in 1917 and new schools opened again in Germany. The Aloisiuskolleg moved to Bonn in 1921. In 1927 the Jesuits also acquired a nearby villa owned by the banker August Karl Baron von der Heydt, son of August von der Heydt. They turned the vila called "Stella Rheni" into the boys' home. August von der Heydt (1801-1874) was most influential German economists. ...
During the Nazi period, the school and the Jesuits struggled against the regime and the school was closed in 1938. The active resistance by the Jesuits and the pupils plays an important role in the contemporary self-understanding of the College.
Well-known resistors to the Nazis are Georg Freiherr von Boeselager and his brother Philipp. Georg Freiherr von Boeselager (August 25, 1915 – August 27, 1944) was a German nobleman and officer of the Wehrmacht, who ultimately served as Colonel (Oberst) of Cavalry. ...

Co-education In the 1980s, the Aloisiuskolleg began co-education with the neighboring Clara Fey High School for Girls within the upper stage. The girls of the upper stage could attend the Aloisiuskolleg and vice-versa. Since the intake of the year 2000, the Aloisiuskolleg has also accepted girls in the lower classes, beginning with the sexta. Since 2005, girls have been accepted as boarders and accommodated in a separate new building.
