The 20 different nations represented among the students at Kolleg St. Blasien
lend a distinctive international flair to a traditional classical European
education. The Boarding Section is comprised of 180 boys and 140 girls under
close supervision. The School is located in the Southern Black Forest near to
both the Swiss and French borders. The school can easily be reached through
Zurich Airport. The School is rooted in the 400 year old Jesuit educational
tradition. It has been located in St. Blasien for nearly 75 years. Tradition
mixes with innovation to stay modern while maintaining Jesuit educational
standards.
A unique example of innovation is the "Euroklasse". This class enables
speakers of other languages to master German sufficiently in the course of a
year to qualify through the Goethe Institute examination for the Zertifikat
Deutsch (ZD), which is generally accepted in Germany and in many other countries
as proof of sound basic knowledge of German.
The state-recognized Kolleg St. Blasien offers a number of language
concentrations. In addition to the standard classical and modern languages
(Latin, English, French, Spanish and classical Greek), the Kolleg has pioneered
the teaching of Chinese, which is expected to be of increasing importance for
the world of tomorrow. Other disciplines such as Science, Math, History,
Religion, and many more meet equally high standards.
Outside of the academic curriculum students develop values and skills in
Music, Sports and Drama. A high point of our Spring Whitsuntide Celebration is
the theatrical production staged and performed entirely by the students.
The development of the spiritual person, however, remains the heart and soul
of the education at the Kolleg. Christian values, worship, and teachings are
emphasized under the guidance of the Jesuits in residence. The Kolleg maintains
close contacts and exchange opportunities with other Jesuit schools within
Europe and in the larger world. The essence of this focus is an understanding on
the part of students that knowledge, expertise, and talents are gifts from God
intended for service rather than mere self-aggrandizement or the acquisition of
material wealth.
The education at the Kolleg is tied to the mission of the church. The
graduates of the Kolleg go forth to serve others in many walks of life, as
physicians healing the sick; as lawyers working to further justice; as teachers
lifting the minds and hearts of future generations; … This life of service
reflects the educational mission of the school, to form "men and women for
others".
