“Was ein Mensch an Gutem in die Welt hinausgibt, geht nicht verloren.” These are the words of Albert Schweitzer. They encapsulate the spirit of the Albert-Schweitzer-Gymnasium.
Welcome to the Albert-Schweitzer-Gymnasium. It’s more than just a school. It is a community. It’s a place where students learn. They also grow into responsible citizens. This gymnasium emphasizes social interaction. It values compassion. It promotes kindness. These values defined Albert Schweitzer’s life. He was a theologian. He was a musician. He was a philosopher. He was also a doctor.
The Albert-Schweitzer-Gymnasium fosters social responsibility. The school encourages students. It empowers them to act responsibly. They should use their skills to contribute to society.
