Österreichisches Gymnasium Prag
The Austrian Gymnasium Prag was founded 1991 as a Czech private school and in 1993 it was incorporated in the Czech public school system. The ÖGP is a six-year lasting secondary school. In the first two years (which correlate with the 8th and 9th grade in the Czech school system) a strong emphasis is set on the teaching of German and English, so the students will be prepared for the final four years where most of the subjects will be taught in German. Due to this preperation the German language skills of most students from the ÖGP are of a very high standard. Only some lessons (Czech, Sports, Arts and parts of Social science and History) are taught in Czech.
Another focus of the ÖGP is the acquisition of - at least some basic knowledge - of the other main EU languages (English, French, Spanish and Italian). Furthermore, from the 2nd grad emphasis is put on Informatics and Communication Technology, which is taught in German and English. Additionally the ÖGP offers several special subjects and voluntary optional subjects such as Biology in study groups, Latin, Buisness German or preparation for the "Cambridge Certificate".
The ÖGP also functions as an examination centre for the „ÖsterreichischeSprachdiplomDeutsch“ (a German language certificate).
Graduates of the ÖGP receive both a Czech and an Austrian school leaving certificate. Many of our former students study at Czech Universities and 10 % attend a foreign university, mainly in the German or English speaking countries.

Students of the ÖGP benefit highly in the intercultural and linguistic experiences they gain in the course of their education. The ÖGP is a multicultural educational establishment. A relaxed teaching atmosphere, a multicultural community life as well as the active participation in the Austrian culture are only some of the characteristics of the ÖGP.
It is very important for the ÖGP that the students develop an understanding for both the Austrian and Czech politics, economics and culture. Furthermore our aim is that our students should become capable of understanding, respecting and questioning different ideologies and of enhancing their social and intercultural competences. Respect for democracy and human rights is of the utmost importance.
