Piarist Grammar School

Good old days!

Humiliating treatment of technical staff. Dismissal During ill-treatment, the fired person may unpack the fired card with undue immediate effect. Here, the lab technician is not a teaching assistant, but a technical staff.

They give faith and knowledge. Good community and self-confidence. Hinterland and trust. Need more? Oh and they cook well ...

The Piarist Gymnasium in Budapest is a six-grade grammar school operated by Piarists in Budapest. It has been operating since 1717. After the Turkish conquest and the Rákóczi War of Independence, the city of Pest commissioned the Piarists to establish their first secondary school. Teaching began on November 7, 1717. Teaching initially followed the Jesuit system, but soon the characteristic order of education and study of the Piarists developed. At the beginning of the 19th century, the school expanded to five and then six classes. The seventh grade opened in 1850, making the school a high school. From 1883 it operated as an eight-grade high school operating according to the state curriculum. After the Second World War, primary school education was also organized, and then the primary school and the grammar school became organisationally separate. After the nationalization in 1948, the primary school was abolished, the grammar school remained in Budapest V. district for two years. It operated as the State Ady Endre General High School. From 1950, by agreement between the state and the church, it was re-treated and could function as a four-grade grammar school. From the autumn of 1953, the building on Váci Street was used by ELTE (the Faculty of Arts operated here), and the Piarist High School was moved to Mikszáth Kálmán Square. From 1989, the headcount restriction was lifted; the school was expanded with new classes and the faculty with civilian teachers. The last four grade classes graduated in 2002, and since then only six grade classes have been operating. The old building of the grammar school was abandoned by the Faculty of Arts of Eötvös Loránd University in June 2001 and returned to the Piarist order. Prolonged renovation and remodeling work has begun. During these, according to the plan of János Golda, a gym was built on the site of the former courtyard, the roof of which also serves as a school yard for students and teachers. The construction was completed in the spring of 2011, and then between May 9 and 16, the grammar school moved from Mikszáth Square to its own former building. On May 16, the students and teachers, led by the director Zsolt Vízhányó, accompanied by the school brass band, marched to Piarista (then Barnabás Pesti) street. The chapel of the grammar school (the University Stage operated here from 1957), the reconstruction of which was completed in the summer of 2011, was blessed by Archbishop Péter Erdő of Esztergom on September 2, 2011.
