The Parhamergymnasium ( GRg 17 ) is a high school and secondary school in the 17th Vienna district Hernals .
history
On January 27th, 1886, a local council meeting decided to build a double school on what was then St. Peter's Square. The building project was initiated by the local school board of Hernals, due to the overcrowding of the existing primary school buildings.
The new school building was planned by the city architect Carl Haas and implemented by the architect Josef Grünbeck . The school opened on November 25, 1886. The former St. Peter's Square was named in 1894 after Father Ignaz Parhamer (1715–1786), a pioneer of education from the Theresian era , and the school was named after this Parhamerplatz .
For several years the school has been recognized as a UNESCO school . It pursues the four-pillar educational model of UNESCO (learning to know, learning to do, learning to be and learning to live together) for more sustainable school teaching.
Training opportunities
As of 2016, the Parhamergymnasium offers three courses:
