Welcome to The Austrian School in Prague!

The Austrian Grammar School Prague was founded in 1991 as a Czech private school and in 1993 it was incorporated into the Czech public school system. The ÖGP is a six-year secondary school. In the first two years (which correlate with the 8th and 9th grade in the Czech school system) a strong emphasis is put 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 preparation the German language skills of most students are of a very high standard. Only some subjects (Czech, Sports, Arts and parts of the Social Sciences 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 grade onwards 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 and Astronomy study groups, Latin, Business German or a preparatory course for the well-known ESL "Cambridge Certificates." Moreover, students get an opportunity to learn how to produce radio programs and radio reports in the subject “Radio journalism”.
Moreover, the ÖGP is a certified examination centre for the „Österreichische SprachdiplomDeutsch“ (an internationally recognized 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 about 10 % attend a foreign university, mainly in German or English speaking countries. Students of the ÖGP benefit highly from the intercultural and linguistic experiences they gain during the course of their education. The ÖGP is a multicultural educational institution, as in addition to Austrian and Czech teachers, also native speakers from England, France and Spain form part of the faculty. A relaxed teaching atmosphere, a multicultural community life as well as an 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 of both Austrian and Czech politics, economies and cultures. 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. The tuition for the 2012/2013 school year is CZK 21,500.
