The Oberstufenrealgymnasium ( ORG ) is a special type of school of Austrian grammar schools . It is only offered in the upper school ; The transfer is possible either from the lower level of a grammar school or from the 4th grade of the Hauptschule (8th grade). The federal upper level secondary school as a federal school is called BORG .

history

The school form was introduced in 1962 under the name Musisch-Pedagogisches Realgymnasium  (MPRG). The purpose of the school was to succeed the teacher training institutes, in particular in preparation for attending the Pedagogical Academy as a training center for teachers for the compulsory school sector ( elementary school teachers and lower grades ) and for social professions .

The form was initially carried out as a five-year (9th-13th  grade ) special form ( school trial ) of a general secondary school  (AHS) with Matura .

From 1969 onwards, like the other AHS, the form was run as a four-year course.

In 1975 the school form was taken over into the mainstream school system, but the original special objectives as well as the subject specialization were given up and the form was simply called upper levels realgymnasium , with a curriculum based on the realistic grammar school . The purpose of the school type was to quickly build up lean secondary schools, especially in rural areas, and to enable secondary school students to take the direct route to the final exams - at that time, high schools were often too far away for driving students and boarding schools were the only alternative. The musically oriented education was in the school of Musisches school adopted in the early 1980s, the situation was about the music education at Oberstufenrealgymnasien as "not so good" judges.

The requirements have been adapted to the completion of the 4th class (8th grade) secondary school, should therefore allow, either through the Polytechnic School , a teaching professional training to pursue or go to a higher education via the ORG. The school form was and is still widespread today, in 1969/70 more than a quarter (28.9%) of all AHS high school graduates came from a music-pedagogical secondary school, in 1993 26% from an upper level secondary school.

With the expansion of the complete grammar schools as well as in cities, the upper level real grammar school quickly gained the reputation of a "grammar school 2nd class" due to the less high entry requirements. Therefore, many ORGs were combined with the full high schools to form one school (G / ORG or RG / ORG and G / RG / ORG), where they represent a class branch. On the other hand, many upper-level secondary schools are trying today to develop special - and also the regional labor market - attractive and modern school focuses through school autonomy .

Requirements for admission

The prerequisite is the successful completion of a 4th grade AHS or new middle school. When attending the 1st performance group in the subjects German, modern foreign language and mathematics and if no grade lower than "satisfactory" was achieved in the other subjects, no entrance examination is necessary.
