The Philipp-Reis-Schule (abbreviation: PRS; English: Philipp Reis School) is a comprehensive school and one of two secondary schools, the other being King's College, The British School of Frankfurt, in Friedrichsdorf, Hesse, Germany.
The eponym is Philipp Reis (1834–1874). The school has approximately 150 teachers and 1,900 students. In school year 2006/2007 the school time at the Gymnasium at the Philipp-Reis-Schule was reduced from nine to eight years. So the students get their Abitur after twelve school years in total, rather than thirteen years as it was previously. This modification has been cancelled, so the students get their Abitur after thirteen school years in total.
Abitur, often shortened colloquially to Abi, is a qualification granted at the end of secondary education in Germany. It is conferred on students who pass their final exams at the end of ISCED 3, usually after twelve or thirteen years of schooling. In German, the term Abitur has roots in the archaic word Abiturium, which in turn was derived from the Latin abiturus.
Johann Philipp Reis was a self-taught German scientist and inventor. In 1861, he constructed the first make-and-break telephone, today called the Reis telephone.
