The origins of the Solothurn Cantonal School go back to the Canons 'Monastery of St. Ursus, founded in the 8th century, and its collegiate school , which at the end of the 15th century was placed under the supervision of the city council as a Latin school and became the municipal boys' school in 1520 . In 1541 a girls' high school was added and in 1646 the Latin school became a college of the Jesuits , for whose singing lessons the Jesuit church was built from 1680 to 1689 .
After the repeal of the Jesuit order by Pope Clement XIV in 1773, the college was nationalized; 1812 to 1817 worked here as Konrad Josef Glutz von Blotzheim . On November 1, 1833, the school was renamed the Higher Teaching and Education Institute of the Canton of Solothurn ; The Roman Catholic priest and geologist Franz Joseph Hugi was appointed to this position in 1833 as a physics teacher and in 1835 as a teacher of natural history , but dismissed in 1837 because he had converted to Protestantism . In 1836 Martin Disteli came to the higher education and training institute as a drawing teacher .
In 1839 an upper secondary school (predecessor of today's mathematical and scientific profile) was added, in 1888 a teacher training college and in 1892 a business school , in 1941 the current building was occupied and in 1960 the business school was converted into a business school and a business school.
The canton school is now divided into the Matura school , which also falls into the linguistic, musical, mathematical-scientific, economic-legal and sporting-cultural areas, the technical middle school (preparation in the field of health, social work and education) and the secondary school P, which prepares students for the Matura school.
