The Mary Ward private high school and Oberstufenrealgymnasium St. Pölten is a gymnasium and state secondary schools in St. Pölten in Lower Austria .
history
In 1706, English ladies from Munich and Augsburg came to St. Pölten and in 1707 they opened a day school for girls. In 1711 the school was expanded to include a food school by offering a boarding school for noble ladies . A foundation made 6 free places possible from the stands in Lower Austria. In 1742 the school was run in three classes.
With the Maria Theresa school regulations , the school became a so-called normal school, to which a two-year course for trainee teachers and a three-month course for private teachers were added.
In 1865 the Reich Primary School Act introduced new regulations for the only girls' school in the city. In 1875 the school was granted public rights. A public girls' school was soon established. In 1880 there was an extension for classrooms. In 1894 the elementary school was expanded to 6 classes. In 1895 the boarding school became the "Höheren-Töchter-Schule" and was run as a five-class elementary school and a three-class citizen school. In 1896 it was granted public rights.
In 1900, the external elementary school was also connected to a community school. From 1908 to 1911 the middle school was converted into a six-class girls' college. Here the separation and distinction between internal and external schools was abandoned. There was now a primary school, a community school and a lyceum, all with public rights.
In 1911 a two-class commercial school for girls was established. This commercial school was the first commercial school for girls in Lower Austria and existed until 1980. In 1921 the lyceum was converted into a reform secondary school and expanded. In 1923 a housekeeping school was set up, which was run until 2002. In 1927 the grammar school was divided into a secondary school and a women's high school. In 1929, in addition to the Realgymnasium and the women's high school, the business school, the home economics school and the secondary school existed in Schneckgasse.
When Austria was annexed to Hitler's Germany in 1938, the schools of the English Fräulein's institute were withdrawn, some of them closed and some of them continued as a state school. The sisters were no longer allowed to teach.
In 1945, after the Second World War, the expropriation of the English Fräulein was reversed and the schools re-established. With the school reform of 1962, the Realgymnasium became an Wirtschaftskundliches Realgymnasium. In 1989 the school form gymnasium was started, which was very difficult to organize, which is why in 1999 only the gymnasium with an emphasis on classical and modern languages was continued.
With 20 classes, the grammar school uses the entire school building in Schneckgasse, while the former boarding rooms have been adapted for the elementary school and secondary school.
In 2000, the Institute of the English Misses , called Congregatio Jesu since 2003, handed over the schools to the Association of Religious Schools in Austria .
