Johannes Sturm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johannes (or Jean) Sturm (1507 - 1589) was a German educator.
He was born in Schleiden and studied at the University of Leuven and the Collège de France in Paris. He was called to Strasbourg (then ruled by the unrelated Jacob Sturm von Sturmeck) in 1537, and in 1538 he set up the Gymnase Protestant there. This school and his art of teaching were to be a humanist model for a century in the whole of Europe.
In addition to the Gymnasium, Foyer Jean-Sturm, a modern, student dormitory in Strasbourg, also bears his name.
