After the renovation between the years 2005–2007 the school got new room setups, technical equipment and a new schoolyard, which is small, but nevertheless offers the students many seats and sports activities like basketball or table tennis.

There are more lessons in these subjects compared with other grammar schools in Germany, and the students also regularly take part in competitions in these fields.

Georg-Cantor-Gymnasium has a modified timetable which includes more lessons in the profile subjects (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Computer Science and Astronomy).

Furthermore, the students take part in practical science training and have the chance to write a scientific paper on an extra-curricular topic of their choice in year 10.

In year 5 the students continue English as their first foreign language, which they normally start in Primary School.

Places are offered depending on these test results as well as the student’s last school report.

However, students do not only excel in scientific competitions, but are also successful in foreign language contests.
