The Academic Gymnasium Graz ( Latin Gymnasium Academicum Graecense ) is one of the oldest schools in the German-speaking area , the oldest secondary school in Styria and, after the Academic Gymnasiums in Linz , Vienna and Innsbruck, the fourth oldest of the five Academic Gymnasiums in Austria.

The school was founded as a Jesuit college in Graz on November 12, 1573 as part of the Counter-Reformation . It served as a preliminary stage to the University of Graz, which was newly founded on January 1, 1585 (presentation of the letter of foundation on April 14, 1586).

From 1776 the grammar school was called "Imperial Academic Grammar School". Today it bears the designation "Academic Gymnasium" as an honorary title . The school has been describing itself since 2007 as a “school for head, heart and hand” .

The official school logo "The Owl on the Pillar" by Hartmut Urban (with handwritten signature: "'Academic' Graz, Austria " , see picture) shows a Doric pillar as a symbol for the originally classical orientation of the school, as well as the owl above as a symbol of wisdom (from Greek mythology ), and all of this in a slightly tilted position that could be interpreted in different ways.

In this sense, the Academic Gymnasium Graz sees itself through its current range of services as a combination of education in the classical-humanistic tradition on the one hand and the requirements of general education that meet the 21st century on the other . A special focus of the school orientation is on the "promotion of talents and interests" (fbi) .

Excerpt from the letter of foundation of the Academic Gymnasium Graz, with which Archduke Charles II of Inner Austria founded the school as a Latin school of the Jesuits on November 12, 1573 (reproduction owned by the Academic Gymnasium Graz)

With the letter of foundation of November 12, 1573, Archduke Charles II of Inner Austria , who endeavored to break the spiritual backbone of the corporate power in the country, Protestantism , founded the college at the Graz parish church of St. Egidius , today's Graz Cathedral with the Jesuit Latin School as a grammar school.

Income and existing church property from the vacant monasteries of Studenitz, Seitz and Geirach (both in present-day Slovenia ) and Griffen in Carinthia , all of which were in the former diocese of Lavant , were donated as a donation . The most important endowment, however, was the property of Emperor Friedrich III. founded St. George's Equestrian Order of the inclusion of the former Benedictine monastery Millstadt in Carinthia.

The grammar classes of the grammar school were expanded to include a poetics class in 1577 and a rhetoric class (humanity classes) in 1578, so the school comprised six classes. Already in 1574 100 pupils could be counted here, in 1577/78 there were already 200, including pupils from countries outside of Inner Austria .

The term "continuation of the high school up" the University of Graz was founded on January 1, 1585, but foundation letter was only on April 14, 1586, together with scepter and seal the Order of the Provincial of the Jesuits and at the same time the first rector Father Heinrich Blyssem SJ (1526-1586) solemnly presented in the St. Giles Church. Both institutions now formed a unit, which explains the name “Academic Gymnasium” . This was set up as the university's “facultas linguarum” .

Latin building inscription decorated with coat of arms on the "Stöckl" or "Taubenkobel", rebuilt in 1619 with church support (former school building of the Academic Gymnasium Graz, Hofgasse 10)

The school building at Hofgasse 10 , which is called “Stöckl” or “Taubenkobel” , was probably built around 1570/52 for the court vice chancellor Wolf (gang) Schranz von Schranzenegg according to a design by Salustio Peruzzi, and was later taken over by the Jesuits and in 1619 rebuilt, as indicated by the Latin building inscription above the entrance. It shows the mitres and coats of arms of the diocesan bishops of Seckau and Laibach , the abbots of Admont and St. Lambrecht and the provosts of Stainz and Vorau (see picture on the right).

At first, teachers at the school were exclusively members of the Jesuit order. The "ratio studiorum" attached particular importance to the character and scientific training of teachers. She demanded from them erudition, diligence, diligence and zeal in their lectures and exercises as well as natural, unconditional obedience to the order and an unconditional commitment to Catholic teaching. Religious education was seen as the most essential task of the grammar school, but it is characteristic of the cosmopolitanism of the Jesuit order that the fulfillment of this task was not so much aimed at through imparting religious knowledge as through religious exercises. Religious study was limited to memorizing the catechism and a thorough knowledge of the gospels . The main thing in the class was the Latin language, with each half day beginning with a Latin lesson. Greek lessons did not begin until the fourth grade.

From 1764 the mother tongue German was declared the basis for teaching the lowest classes. Since 1765 the head of the grammar school has been using the title of "grammar school prefect" like those grammar school board members whose institution was not affiliated with a university.

First page of the papal deed of repeal of the Jesuit order Dominus ac Redemptor noster in Latin and French

With the abolition of the Jesuit order on August 21, 1773 by the Breve (a papal letter that differs from a bull not only in its brevity but also in its lesser solemnity) “Dominus ac redemptor noster” by Pope Clement XIV. (See picture on the left) which was decreed in Austria on September 10, 1773, during the reign of Emperor Joseph II , the grammar school and university were taken over into state administration. The "Draft for the establishment of grammar schools in the kk hereditary lands " regulated from 1775 the nature of the higher middle schools in which Latin (partly as the language of instruction) was part of the curriculum. The former Jesuit grammar school became sovereign and from 1776 was called "Imperial Academic High School". The curriculum included physics, geometry, natural history, rhetoric and poetics, as well as geography and history.

In connection with the introduction of a new curriculum, called the "Gymnasial Code", the grammar school became a "first class grammar school" in 1805 and, because of its connection with the lyceum - the university had been converted into a lyceum in 1782 - again an "academic grammar school" " explained. It consisted of six classes, four grammatical and two humanity classes. Furthermore, as an innovation, the class teacher system was changed to a subject teacher system. The seven subjects of the grammar school were "Latin grammar", "Stylistics", "Geography and history", "Mathematics", "Natural history and natural science", "Greek" and "Religious studies". The weekly number of hours per class was 18. It was planned to separate the subjects into main and secondary subjects, with only one major: Latin. There was no German class of their own. Knowledge of German language teaching was assumed to be known. At the same time it was decided that the grammar school should be filled with Benedictines from Admont Abbey as teachers.

According to the “organizational draft of 1849” (short name for the “draft of the organization of grammar schools and secondary schools in Austria” written by Franz Serafin Exner and Hermann Bonitz in 1849 as the legal basis for the modern 8-class grammar school), which completely reorganized the Austrian grammar school system and the reforms that were finally implemented in 1854 under the Minister of Education and Culture Leopold Graf von Thun and Hohenstein , the school was separated from the university association and continued as an independent grammar school consisting of eight classes. A school leaving examination was also introduced for the students, which entitles them to study at a university or college. Likewise, the previous title of the head of the school was changed from “Gymnasialpräfekt” to “Director” , and the office of a class board was created. The designation “Academic Gymnasium” lost its justification because there was no longer any direct reference to the university; From the school year 1855/56 the school was officially called " kk Gymnasium in Graz". In 1869, after the establishment of a second grammar school in Graz, it was given the title “1. kuk Staatsgymnasium Graz “.

In 1883 Emperor Franz Joseph I stayed in Graz, and while he was there he also attended grammar school. The impression that the spatial grievances in Hofgasse 10 made on him was such that he ordered the grammar school to move to new rooms. The new building, based on the design by the architect Leopold Theyer , was only decided and started in 1889.

On August 4, 1890, Emperor Franz Joseph I, this time accompanied by Prime Minister Eduard Graf Taaffe , Minister for Culture and Education Paul Freiherr Gautsch von Franckenthurn and the governor Baron Guido Kübeck, restored the school and the one under construction Pay a visit to the building at Tummelplatz. With the completion of the new building, the grammar school was finally relocated from the building called “Stöckl” or “Taubenkobel” to the newly built school building on Tummelplatz. The grand opening of the new building took place on September 21, 1890, with Prince-Bishop Johann Baptist Zwerger , who was the council father of the First Vatican Council as well as the large construction project of the Sacred Heart Church in Graz , which carried out the inauguration . The two double-headed eagles , attached to the roof ridge of the school, still remind us today of the visit by Emperor Franz Joseph I and the reconstruction of the building (see picture of the school in the info box, as well as the historical pictures “1. k. And k. Staatsgymnasium Graz Tummelplatz around 1900"). Although the building is on Tummelplatz, the current address is: Bürgergasse 15.

In the Ministerial Ordinance of March 3, 1893, the 1st k. and k. State grammar school in Graz as the school in Styria where women had to take the Matura exams. The first examples of the passing of the matriculation examination as Externistinnen are Maria Shoe Master (1899) and Octavia Aigner-Rollett to name (1900). This meant that the grammar school was subsequently also open to admitting girls.

During the time of the First World War , the school building had to be evacuated several times because it was used either as barracks or as quarters for two elementary schools. The school received accommodation partly in the seminary , partly in the Franciscan monastery or in the Graz University of Technology . It was not until shortly before the end of the war, on September 16, 1918, that the grammar school was able to return to its home.

History since the republic

History in the 1st Republic

Since the end of November 1918, teachers and students from military service have returned to school. For the latter, special courses were set up in January 1919, which were completed after a three-month period with the awarding of the school-leaving certificate and the exemption from the examination.

In contrast to the educational reform movements emanating from Germany in the 1920s, the college of professors at the Academic Gymnasium relied on the advantages of humanistic education compared to the Realschule: the Gymnasium remained the class school for the sons and daughters of the higher civil service, the freelance academics and the social strata of them much higher than the Jesuit high school had ever been.

After the end of the monarchy , the school was converted into “1. Bundesgymnasium "renamed, in the course of the celebration of the 350th anniversary in 1924, however, renamed back to" Academic Gymnasium ".

At the beginning of the school year 1927/28 a new curriculum came into force, which resulted in a large influx of students for the grammar school: the school already had 452 students, including 58 girls, in 15 classes. German became the main subject of the first grade, which was kept free of foreign languages. Latin started in the second grade, Greek in the fourth grade, and both foreign languages ​​continued until the end of school. The reasons for the upswing were also due to the fact that the school used its good reputation and it was considered an honor for every teacher to be able to work at the Academic Gymnasium. Since the school year 1931/32 the grammar school was forbidden to accept girls because the ministry wanted to leave the education of girls to monastery schools.

The victory of the dictatorship in 1933 hit the school hard: during the February fights in 1934 , several upper-class students were assigned to the so-called “assistants” (homeland security) , and despite the lack of space, homeland security groups were relocated to the building. There were “patriotic school celebrations” and war preparations were made, but nobody knew who to wage war against. In June 1935 the first lecture on air defense was given in the school and in the following year the pre-military education of the youth began (for example the division of the pupils into seven "companies").

From the school year 1934/35 a new curriculum was applied, the beginning of Latin lessons was relocated again to the first grade, and that of Greek lessons to the third grade. In 1937 a school group of the "Austrian Young People" was set up, through which those pupils who did not belong to a Catholic youth organization should be familiarized with the ideas of the Fatherland Front .

History in National Socialism

With the seizure of power by Adolf Hitler , order collapsed, as in the rest of the country, in the grammar school. Director Johann Vogelsang and seven teachers who were not acceptable to the National Socialist rulers were dismissed, the director arrested and taken to a concentration camp . In the place of the dismissed teachers, young teachers appeared who saw their task in the political retraining, not the spiritual training of the youth, and thereby lowered the level of education. Viktor Gölles took over the management of the grammar school as " Senior Director of Studies ". A National Socialist curriculum came into force, whereby, for example, religious instruction was abolished and the evaluation of objects was completely reorganized, with "physical education" at the top. Foreign languages ​​moved to the bottom of the ranking. The main task of the German class was to educate people to become a people-conscious, combative member of the “leading” nation in the world.

After the dissolution of the Episcopal Gymnasium Graz by the National Socialists in 1938, most of its former students were accepted into the Academic Gymnasium Graz, including the later Styrian diocesan bishop Johann Weber . Weber, like many others of his generation, was drafted as an air force helper after the 6th grade in 1943 and then drafted into the Wehrmacht , and was awarded the final exams by decree after the end of the war.

Since all students were called up for military service from 1938 onwards immediately after graduating from high school, the school-leaving examination was initially brought forward by four months, later schooling was even reduced to seven and then to six years. After all, even the fifth grade students were obliged to work as air force helpers or to build fragmentation trenches in southern Styria. Accordingly, the number of students decreased steadily due to the war.

By several bombings of the Allies in Graz in 1944, especially on 1 November 1944, the school building was mainly due to the main front - heavily damaged a proper education was practically from that date no longer possible - direction playground.

One of the last victims of the war among the members of the school was senior director Viktor Gölles, who died in 1945 in the fight against the Russians advancing in Eastern Styria. His deputy Wilhelm Bouvier had hardly any school duties left.

The time after the end of the war was connected with an urgently needed, complete restart of the school. Ferdinand Tremel, who was initially the provisional head of the grammar school and director from 1948, reports on the situation he initially encountered:

“Apart from the bomb damage, the house was in an indescribable condition when the new ladder walked in for the first time. The corridor on the first floor was littered with thrown away dirty and stinking uniforms of the German Wehrmacht and the Volkssturm, the extensive mineralogical-geological teaching material collection lay around in a mess on the floor of the gymnasium, in the classrooms and collection rooms, as far as one could enter them, prevailed a chaos of furniture and dirt of all kinds, the condition of the toilet is not mentioned. The only source to be found in the director's office was a thin bundle of meaningless files - all the others had been burned - the catalogs were scattered about in the coal cellar and were evidently intended to be burned. To have brought order into this mess was a great title of fame of the non-scientific staff. "

- Ferdinand Tremel : Festschrift "400 Years of the Academic Gymnasium Graz"

Due to the circumstances described above, after the collapse of the Nazi regime, there was no question of resuming classes. Only after the building of the 3rd Bundesgymnasium Graz had been cleared by the occupation troops and somewhat restored did the first follow-up training courses for students who remained in Graz, who were also attended by students from the Academic Gymnasium, begin to be held there. However, regular lessons came about later. On July 28, 1945 Ferdinand Tremel took over the provisional management of the school. Since the own building was too badly damaged, the school was housed in the building of the 3rd Federal High School with the necessity of holding half-day lessons on six half-days, one week in the morning and one week in the afternoon. Lessons could be held again from October 8, 1945.

A "transition curriculum" stipulated that Latin would be taught again from the first, Greek from the third and English from the fifth grade. A lack of coal meant that there were three months of winter vacation in the 1946/47 school year, a lack of clothing worsened the situation and the nutritional status of the students was also very poor. A school medical examination, for example, showed that 36% of the students had poor nutritional status. In the 4th grade it was even 53.8%, in the first two grades 37.0% and 33.4%. The pupils' feeding through the "Schweizer Aid" organization, which benefited many pupils this year, was therefore of great help.

At the beginning of the school year 1947/48, the grammar school was able to return to its own building. This was made possible by the rapid completion of the construction work at the time. The fact that the best material was not always used and that repairs were necessary early on is explained by the lack of better goods. The 375th anniversary of the school's founding day was celebrated on November 12, 1948 on a larger scale, initially with an ecumenical festival service with Auxiliary Bishop Leo Pietsch and Protestant pastor Hans Marehart. The festive assembly in the Stefaniensaal saw Governor Josef Krainer and other leading personalities from the State of Styria and the City of Graz at the head of the festival guests . A festival performance of the “Magic Flute” in the Graz Opera concluded the round of celebrations.

The teaching staff has undergone far-reaching changes since 1945: a large number of teachers left that year, partly for political reasons, partly because not all teachers were employed at the school, which had initially become very small, partly to take up senior positions. In 1948 Ferdinand Tremel was officially appointed the new director of the Academic Gymnasium Graz. After the building was restored, the interior of the school was also renewed or modernized, as well as the teaching material collections and the student library.

In the following years we can speak of a further normalization of the situation. In the school year 1952/53, for example, the number of students was 400, two years later even 500. For the first time in the history of the school, the number of girls was more than 100 in the school year 1953/54 Difficulties that were initially met through in-school measures. Later, the Dominicans' premises in Münzgrabenstrasse and in the building of the former Protestant private elementary school on Kaiser-Josef-Platz were used for so-called “displaced classes”.

From 1962, the new school law and, as a result, the curriculum of June 22, 1964 came into force, whereby the provision on the choice of type was particularly important for the Academic Gymnasium, which made it possible to conduct both the humanistic and the modern-language school type: English from the first grade, Latin from the third grade and in the fifth grade the division into the two types: humanistic with Greek and modern language with French. In the school year 1964/65 more than 200 girls attended school, in the following school year there were more than 600 pupils, in 1968/69 700, including 320 girls, almost half.

In the meantime it had become necessary to give the school building a thorough renovation. Work began in the summer of 1966 and lasted a total of three years. At the end of the school year 1966/67, director Ferdinand Tremel resigned due to his retirement; Jaroslav Wenko was his successor as provisional director until 1968. At the beginning of the school year 1968/69 Rudolf Kellermayr was appointed as the new director of the Academic Gymnasium. Right at the beginning he faced new tasks: the large number of students required new solutions with regard to the necessary and non-existent classrooms; the Graz Minorites provided free rooms in their monastery for "displaced classes". Various innovations with regard to more modern teaching methods in all subjects also turned out to be a great challenge, which, however, were solved by flexibility and the will of everyone to modernize the school offers.

In 1973 the 400th anniversary of the Academic Gymnasium in Graz was celebrated. Greetings came from the Federal Minister for Education and the Arts Fred Sinowatz , the Styrian Governor Friedrich Niederl , the Mayor of Graz Alexander Götz , the Vice Rector of the University of Graz Winfried Gruber and other leading figures. On the occasion of the anniversary, a commemorative publication was published, the editing of which was taken over by the professors of the school Wilhelm Danhofer and Alfred Kolleritsch . As far as the external form of the grammar school underwent profound changes in the 400 years of its existence, it could boast - as an exchange teacher from France assured - "still, even today, to be a humanistic school", a school , in which the human being is at the center of educational work, but also a school that does not rest on its laurels all of a sudden, but has always adapted and continues to adapt to the demands of the present.

For the following years, the later director of the grammar school, who at that time was still active as a religion professor at the school, is quoted:

“These years were characterized on the one hand by lack of space and the associated hiking classes and relocations in rooms of the Evangelical Heilandskirche on Kaiser-Josef-Platz, in the Vinzentinum in Neubaugasse and in an adapted large apartment at Burgring 10. For administration and the“ wandering professors “This situation was a particular challenge. For this reason, under Hofrat Kellermayr and with the assistance of the parents' association, the renovation, for which Josef Wilhelm was later responsible for implementation, was planned and prepared. From an educational and didactic point of view, this era was an eventful time. In 1972 the “free school book” was introduced in Austria. The 1974 School Education Act, which was modified by a large number of amendments, has changed the area of ​​"internal operations" in our schools significantly. This was quickly and energetically received at the Graz Academic Gymnasium: the language laboratory and audiovisual media such as B. Overhead and film projectors, television and video were used for clear lessons, the living foreign languages, especially French, were given a heavy weight, and the (three-week) school exchange events were launched. Classes in the classical languages ​​Latin and Greek have been reorganized didactically, pointing the way for the Austrian school system. Several textbook authors and lecturers at the university have worked at the school (Latin, Greek, English, music, German, general didactics). Group lessons instead of exclusively frontal lessons, bringing in experts from outside was recommended; some group dynamic approaches were important experiments, but remained an episode. The intensive contact with the “ Forum Stadtpark ” (Alfred Kolleritsch, Hartmut Urban ), which was then home to the Austrian avant-garde , is also explained by the numerous graduates who have gained prestige in the various fields of the arts. In addition, it has been possible that numerous young, talented and committed professors have been employed at the school, who have supported the intentions of the management through a "modern" and contemporary pedagogy. "

- Director Josef Wilhelm : written description from June 30, 2013

Director Rudolf Kellermayr retired on January 1, 1987, and Josef Wilhelm , a theologian and professor of religion from among the teaching staff of his own school, took over as director. In 1988, under director Josef Wilhelm, major expansion and renovation work began on the school, which lasted until 1990 and also included the expansion of the top floor. During the period of expansion and renovation, the Academic Gymnasium was housed in the building of today's “Higher Federal School for Fashion” (Graz Fashion School) on Ortweinplatz. As a result of the renovation and expansion work, the school was equipped with modern classrooms for the natural sciences, arts and computer science classes. The grammar school was also supplemented by a well-stocked working library (over 9500 books in open access). Despite its only rudimentary holdings today, the former teachers' library still fills a large room of its own, which its director Josef Wilhelm has assigned, since it moved back from Ortweinplatz. Part of this former teachers' library are a few very old but valuable books from the early days of the school, which are now kept in the school vault by director Hildegard Kribitz .

The anniversary year "400 + 25" for the 425th anniversary of the grammar school in 1998/99 was celebrated with a large-scale series of events. One of the highlights of this anniversary year was a festive evening in the completely filled Orpheum in Graz on November 13, 1998. Personal contributions for this evening came from graduates from the past 25 years, such as Markus Schirmer , Gernot Haas , Monika Wogrolly , Armin Pokorn , Adrian Eröd , Ingrid Marsoner , Helwig Brunner , Cornelia Krebs , Christian Jungwirth , Harald Haslmayer , Thomas Roth and others. The school professor Gerald Haas coordinated the evening . The anniversary year ended with an ecumenical festive service on July 9, 1999 in Graz Cathedral with Canon Prelate Willibald Rodler , head of the Episcopal Office for Schools and Education, and Superintendent Ernst-Christian Gerhold .

In the 21st century, three Styrian bishops have so far attended the Academic Gymnasium: first of all, Diocesan Bishop Egon Kapellari met on February 15, 2005 for a conversation and an exchange of ideas with a school-leaving class, then Archbishop Franz Lackner - at that time still as auxiliary bishop (auxiliary bishop / titular bishop ) - held on April 16, 2007 a day of reflection for students in two 5th grades. On May 19, 2015, the newly appointed diocesan bishop Wilhelm Krautwaschl spontaneously visited a 7th grade of the school in religious instruction to give the young people the opportunity to articulate their thoughts on the question: "What would you write in a pastoral letter?"

As part of the school-specific redesign of the “new upper level”, the course system was also introduced in place of the compulsory elective subjects . In the years 2008 to 2010, many classrooms were soundproofed and equipped with permanently installed projectors on the 2nd floor of the building , which promotes the timely use of the teaching facilities. Since the beginning of the 2010/2011 school year, only the electronic class register has been used at the school .

At the end of November 2010, director Josef Wilhelm left, whose goal for “his” school he set out under the motto “The Academic. The school with head, heart and hand ”exhibited after 24 years in office due to his retirement from his position.

He was succeeded in December 2010 by Hildegard Kribitz, previously a professor at the Bundesgymnasium Bruck an der Mur . She is the first female director in the more than 440-year history of the Academic Gymnasium Graz. A new formulation of the school motto (“Unfold yourself in the Academic Gymnasium”) was followed by various adaptations of the school building from 2011: the corridors were soundproofed and designed in friendly colors and the break rooms were transformed into attractive and popular “learning islands” with flexible tables and armchairs. With the renovation of the school's ground floor in 2015, the learning and living space was generously expanded. The large common room for day care at school, the dining room with its own kitchen, the multifunctional work room and the library as a quiet reading place open up new possibilities for individual forms of learning, care and relaxing retreat (see picture gallery).

Current

On March 28, 2017, Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen was a guest at the Academic Gymnasium as head of state as part of his first official visit to Graz . It was the first visit by an Austrian Federal President to this school. Van der Bellen met with 8th grade students and the student council as well as representatives of the teaching staff. He emphasized that he saw dealing with young people as very important, as young people were more advanced than some adults: “This is our future, as trivial as it sounds. For example, they take the European idea for granted and seriously. That gives me a lot of hope. ”When leaving the house, Van der Bellen was surrounded by students from the school, who had formed a line for him, and asked for autographs or cell phone photos. Afterwards, the president enjoyed the bath in the crowd.

In April 2017, "Sculptural Acupuncture" was installed as a work of art in public space (planned until the end of 2019) by Manfred Erjautz in the windowless part of the main facade. Inside, the fastening is behind the board of a classroom. From the midday sun, the bundle of 3 street lights from different eras casts shadows on the house wall; in the evening the lights themselves shine.

On Friday, March 15, 2019, 12:30 p.m. in front of the school (based on the climate school strike), climate researchers Gottfried Kirchengast and Karl Steininger from the Wegener Center for Climate and Global Change at the University of Graz gave a lecture to several school classes about "What is at stake ". The motto: Fridays for Future meets Scientists4Future of the declaration of support that was signed by 23,000 scientists at this time. Schoolchildren had painted letter posters on the inside of the three rows of windows on the main facade - "S 'KLIMA HAT FIEBER" as the top line. - Shortly after 6:30 p.m., a sea of ​​lights demonstration parade with 1900 participants across the ring to the main square started from the Tummelplatz. Young people as well as schoolchildren predominated, many wore LED lighting, for example as headlights.

School type

The Akademisches Gymnasium Graz is a general education higher school with a linguistic focus (the originally humanistic focus is shown in the current range of Latin and ancient Greek ).
