!!!Internatsschulen, höhere

Internatsschulen, hoehere: selective, academically-oriented secondary 
schools with attached boarding schools, providing instruction, 
education and care according to a uniform educational plan (emphasis 
on community spirit, promotion of artistic talents and physical 
abilities, life skills). They may also be organised as  
Werkschulheime. Forerunners were military educational institutions 
(until 1918: cadet schools, institutes for daughters of officers), 
which were turned into "Staatsstiftungsrealschulen" (state foundation 
secondary schools) during the 1%%sup st/%  Republic, and in 1919/20 in 
"Bundeserziehungsanstalten" (federal educational institutions) on the 
model of the "Landerziehungsheime" (provincial educational homes). 
From 1938 to 1945 they were called  National Political Institutes of 
Education, in 1962 they were given their present name.
