Gárdonyi Géza Cistercian Secondary Grammar School and Student Hostel
Gárdonyi Géza Cistercian Secondary Grammar School and Student Hostel, equipped with its own girls' dormitory, is situated in the heart of Eger. It is a nationally recognized institution, which has a history of over 300 years with significant historical and cultural traditions. Building on our extensive heritage, the community at our school is dynamic, progressive and innovative, capable of renewal, adapting to new challenges, and keeping up with continuous changes.
Our institution is run by the Cistercian Abbey of Zirc, along with 3 other grammar schools in the country, with whom we have friendly relations. As an institution, we are committed to a specific worldview, yet our high school warmly welcomes students from all backgrounds. Our school is open to the enrolment of every student eager to learn and having good intentions.
Our students, who range in age from 10 to 20, come from Eger and the northeastern regions of the country. We offer boarding facilities for those from distant areas. Our teaching staff, made up of 61 full-time teachers and 23 support staff, focuses on the physical and mental well-being of our community, emphasizing effective collaboration with students, parents, and families.
Our curriculum includes specialization in various subjects like English, literature, history, biology, chemistry, psychology, and physical education. In the last two years, students can focus on subjects chosen for higher education, with popular choices including mathematics, physics, and digital culture. Our bilingual classes offer some subjects in English, including British and American civilization.
We offer various extracurricular activities, including sports, robotics, eco-tech clubs, folk dance, choir, orchestra, and drama. In addition to English, students can choose German, French, Italian, or Russian as a second foreign language. We also focus on life skills development through communication, problem-solving, and teamwork both within and outside the school environment.
We actively participate in competitions and international projects, including Erasmus+ collaborations with Bulgaria and Turkey. Our ties with other schools and institutions foster a sense of community, cultural exchange, and continuous improvement in education. We have hosted students from various countries, and we continue to explore new opportunities for international partnerships.
We are open to new relationships and eager to explore opportunities for constructive collaboration.
