Thomasschule zu Leipzig, Secondary school in Leipzig, Germany.

The Thomasschule zu Leipzig contains 37 teaching rooms and accommodates 700 students with 70 teachers in a modern educational facility.

Founded in 1212 by Margrave Dietrich von Meißen as a school for underprivileged students, the institution transferred to Leipzig city ownership in 1539.

Johann Sebastian Bach served as the school's cantor from 1723 to 1750, teaching Latin and religious studies while directing musical education.

Students begin Latin studies in fifth grade, followed by English instruction, with optional courses in Greek, French, and Italian languages.

The school maintains a continuous connection with the St Thomas Choir of Leipzig, requiring all choir members to attend as students.
