Info

The Wilhelmsgymnasium of Munich, founded in 1559, is an academic secondary school, and the oldest such school in Munich. According to its 2006-year book, the results of the school's students in the Abitur were the best in the whole of Bavaria. In addition to that, the ministry of education ("Kultusministerium") confirmed that this "gymnasium" achieved outstanding accomplishments in terms of efficiency and social work. Over a course of decades, this highly renowned school achieved the best graduation results in Bavaria.
Since 2004, this has been the only school in Bavaria which can claim to be a Humanistisches Gymnasium on the traditional pattern, meaning that it focuses on the Classics: each of the approximately 600 students needs to study Latin, English, and Ancient Greek, as well as taking a variety of other courses.
