The Kaiserin-Friedrich-Gymnasium (abbreviation: KFG; in English: Empress Frederick Gymnasium) is one of two Gymnasiums, besides the Humboldtschule, in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe, Hesse, Germany.
It is one of the oldest schools in the German-speaking part. The eponym is Victoria, Princess Royal (1840–1901). The school has approximate 115 teachers and 1,535 students. The history of the school goes back to 1550. As private latin school founded at 1550, the school is grown up to one of the biggest schools in the Hochtaunuskreis. The Kaiserin-Friedrich-Gymnasium is the patron school of the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt am Main.[2]
The reduction of the school days from nine to eight years at the Gymnasium is implementated by school year 2004/2005. The reduction means that the students will get their Abitur after twelve school years, not after thirteen years more.
A peculiarity of the school is their multi-storey car park.
The Gymnasium has a library with about 10,000 books.
From school year 2008/2009 there is for first time a bilingual class starting in educational stage 5.
