The Story of the School

Our school was founded as Reálné gymnázium in Chotěboř in the year 1913 and was the only secondary school in town. At first, classes used to be held in a private apartment until the school building construction was completed. (Originally, the building was designed as a home for children in need of special attention). The first school-leaving examinations were taken festively in spring 1920.

Gymnázium had become one of the centers of public cultural and educational activities in Chotěboř area. The school used to give "akademie" (sort of soirées), theatrical performances, exhibits, lectures, literary recitals, and also sports actions. Following World War II, the school was transformed into so called " dvanáctiletka" (Secondary Twelve-Year-school), later into the 4-year -course gymnázium, in which there were given parallel courses both in the subjects of natural science and the humanities.
