History of School

The townsmen of Velké Meziříčí were trying to found a secondary school from the year 1848. In 1899 the school was established under the name Vyšší zemská reálka; the first students, namely 82 boys, came here in 1901. At the beginning the technical subjects prevailed due to the need of technically educated people in the mostly agricultural region.

However, during the history of the school the proportion of technical and humanistic subjects as well as the name of the school were changed many times. Since 1990 the grammar school has had two study cycles, i.e. a four-year and an eight-year programme.

For more than 100 years the students of the school have been engaged not only in the studies but also other after-school activities, such as theatre performances, school choir, students´ orchestra, sports activities, competitions, art exhibitions and many others.
