CJD Christophorusschule KönigswinterAbout the
The CJD Christophorusschule Königswinter is a state recognized private, alternative school located in Rhein-Sieg-Kreis (North Rhine-Westphalia, on the border to Rhineland-Palatinate), and is run by the Christliches Jugenddorfwerk Deutschlands (Christian Youth Village Foundation of Germany – CJD). The school consists of a secondary school and a high school, which correspond to the state equivalents. The Christophorusschule has about 1,450 male and female students (including 400 in the secondary school), and about 105 teachers for instruction. In addition, a dormitory is available for students in grades 5-12, a branch for the highly gifted students, a knowledge center for gifted demands, and a school psychology service with certified psychologists. Also, there is an exchange program with schools in the United States (Milford, Ohio), France (Avignon, Cognac and Sangatte), Spain (Boadilla del Monte), Sweden (Kungsbacka) and Japan.
Our educational mission says that we take every person seriously in terms of their values, their condition and their needs. Curiosity about life includes curiosity about learning. This must be preserved and promoted. Value-related and caring attitude as well as professionalism of those involved in education are basic requirements for the fulfillment of this task.
2. We open up paths.
Every person is wanted as a person, regardless of their different requirements. Our educational mission creates as many learning and experience opportunities as individual paths are needed for people. Our educational work not only addresses needs as they arise, but also initiates access to people who have apparently already given up their right to education.
3. We respect freedom
Every person is always given their absolute value. But he has a path ahead of him to achieve this prerequisite by developing his gifts, taking advantage of development opportunities and becoming a subject in this world. In our educational work we enable this freedom through the experience of limits. We shape the appropriation of the world and the self through valuable choice instead of arbitrariness or universal availability.
4. We create community
God wanted, created and loved every human being as a being in relationship: relationship with himself, with fellow human beings and with society and ultimately with reference to Jesus Christ. We enable people to accept themselves as a person and subject in this world and to live authentically and freely. Our world, its present and future are a task for people; They live in community and actively shape our society. A successful relationship with yourself is the prerequisite for all relationship work. That's why education is essentially relationship work.

Location
Surrounding Area
The Christophorusschule is located near the old downtown of Königswinter, about 200 meter away from the Rhine River. Immediately, in the area, lies the dormitory, the church Maria, Königin des Friedens (Queen of the Heaven), an outside sports field, the gymnasium, and the Königswinter Paul-Lemmerz indoor swimming pool. And, the school has an auditorium with 700 seats, which is used for school events. In June 2005, the Longenburg stop of the Telekom-Express city train line (SWB Line 66) was transformed by students in different art classes. In return, since the end of 2005, the stop has taken the name “Longenburg-CJD Königswinter.”

Activity
Along with the classes for the secondary school and high school, there are two additional classes per grade levels 5-9 (so-called integrated classes), in which approximately half the students are gifted students and the other half are outstanding high school students. Also, in the 2006/2007 school year, beginning with grade 6, a new Research subject was introduced. In the grades 10–12, there is a class for gifted students in every level. In the honors course, they have separate courses and they register for three honors courses (instead of two, which is common of the higher grades). The actual instruction time in the school year in these courses is shortened to allow for the subsequent project phase. The school offers an extensive program, with about 100 extracurricular activities, including a junior company, a bee-keeper program, a paramedic study group, and a Japanese study group. Japanese is also taught as a regular subject in the higher grades and can be chosen as a subject for the final graduation examination. Students also have the opportunity to achieve the internationally recognized DELF-Diploma (French), the Cambridge Certificate (English) or the DELE (Spanish). A music school is included in the high school to enable students to learn an instrument in the afternoon. Above that, there is an orchestra with a choir and a popular band called Tinitus.
