Being half a DINK, I’m pretty clueless when it comes to education around here, but the Maria Ward School for Girls in Mainz appears to be pretty good, both by reputation and by personal observation of the finished product.
Lena, for example, my young friend from across the road, who graduated a couple of years back, did some voluntary work in India and is now studying law.
Shame about her choice of career, but maybe she’ll come round….
Maria Ward (pronounced to rhyme with “hard” in German, which threw me off the track) was born Mary Ward in 1585 in Yorkshire into a Roman Catholic family at a time of persecution of Catholics in England.
She joined a convent in France as a lay sister, but – feeling unfulfilled by a contemplative life – envisioned women living a life in companionship and discernment, inspired by the gospel and engaging with the world without the constraints of the traditional cloister, nor an established ‘Rule’, placing them under the governance of men. She also believed that women were equal to men in intellect and should be educated accordingly.
Which wasn’t exactly too popular with the hierarchy of the church.
The order that she inspired – the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary – continues her work.
Here in Mainz, too. Since 1752 and at its present location on the Ballplatz since 1846.
