history
In 1938 there were plans for the first time to convert the secondary school for girls, which was located in the grammar school on Peraustraße ( Peraugymnasium ), into an independent school. In 1946 these plans were put into practice and the Bundesrealgymnasium for girls was created. Due to the school reform in 1962, the school became a federal high school for girls in 1964 . In 1974 it became a coeducational high school. Three years later, the federal high school for working people opened in Villach under the direction of Dr. Wedam instead.
The school was rebuilt by 1979 and officially opened on March 15th. In 1995 a bilingual branch was introduced in which most of the teaching was offered in English. Since 1996 the school has offered its own afternoon care, which is run independently of the regular lessons. The information technology branch was added four years later. This offers increased computer science lessons from the first grade. In the same year, the school was rated the second best educational institution in Carinthia by the magazine “News” .
In 2001, work began on renovating the school building. Among other things, modern IT rooms, new class and conference rooms were built. In 2007 it was decided that the 30 year old school building had to be renovated. The multi-purpose hall connected to the main building is also to be converted. After several postponements, the general renovation began in June 2010. The project cost around 9.3 million euros. The work was completed in November 2012. In October 2013 a new gym was completed and opened.
