The Leonardo da Vinci Gymnasium is a state recognized private, coeducational, full-time day and boarding school for highly gifted students located in Neckargemünd (Baden-Württemberg) run by the SRH Group, a Non-Profit organisation in Healthcare and Education. The school is Germany’s first private school for intellectually gifted children from 5th grade onward and it is the first and sole private school of this kind in the state of Baden-Württemberg.〔Alexander Wendt: ''Die Revolution der Klugen (Revolution of the Smart).'' in: ''Focus''. Nr. 49, 2012, page 63ff.〕 The school consists of a secondary school and a high school, which correspond to the state equivalents. Its stated aim is the promotion of the intellectual and social development of its students. == Conception == Leonardo da Vinci Gymnasium is accredited by the Ministry of Culture and Education of the State of Baden-Württemberg and therefore required to follow the state curriculum for public schools. The school offers the same type of diplomas that public institutions provide, most importantly Abitur. The final Abitur examinations in grade 12 are identical to that in public schools.〔name="Schule-BW">(Gifted Education in Baden-Württemberg (2013). )〕〔name="LdVG">(Website of the Leonardo da Vinci Gymnasiums (2013). )〕 The stated objective of the school is to promote, encourage and foster the education of gifted children. To this end the school offers accelerated and compacted classes, a wide variety of extra-curricular enrichment courses throughout various academic fields (e.g. mathematics, science and technology, languages, literature, music, visual arts, and sports) as well as integrated pull-out activities.〔 In an interdisciplinary project in 2012 two grade 8 classes wrote a novel that has subsequently been published as a book.〔("Schüler schreiben einen Roman" (Pupils write a novel), Die Zeit-Newspaper, June 2013. )〕 〔(Website of the book "Ich bin Thomas" (I am Thomas), Edition Schröck-Schmidt (2013). )〕 Also, there is an exchange program with schools in Mexico (Guadalajara) and China (Beijing).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leonardo da Vinci Gymnasium」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
