Oberstufenhaus von Kaifu und HLG

Stepping through the doors of the Oberstufenhaus von Kaifu und HLG is like stepping back in time. This building, originally the Bismarck-Gymnasium, has seen generations of students pass through its halls. The Oberstufenhaus, located on Bogenstraße 59, isn’t just any school building. It’s the home of the “Eimsbütteler Modell,” a unique joint upper-level program between the Helene Lange Gymnasium and the Kaiser-Friedrich-Ufer Gymnasium. This collaboration, established in the early 1970s, brings together over 400 students, creating a vibrant and diverse learning environment. Almost all classes are held within these walls, except for some arts, chemistry, and sports courses. The sheer size of this combined student body allows for a broader range of courses than smaller schools could offer. Students at the Oberstufenhaus von Kaifu und HLG have a wide selection of academic profiles and electives, including informatics, French, economics, choir, band, and orchestra. This collaborative learning environment fosters a strong sense of community. The Oberstufenhaus von Kaifu und HLG has recently undergone a complete renovation, creating a modern, welcoming space for students to call their own. They quickly develop a unique school identity, nurtured by the positive atmosphere and a mature, respectful student body. Activities like the career orientation week on the island of Sylt further strengthen this sense of belonging. This shared upper-level experience at the Oberstufenhaus von Kaifu und HLG provides a solid foundation, preparing students not just for the Abitur, but also for the next chapter of their lives.
