Grammar school
The grammar school long form builds on the fifth year of elementary school and leads to the Matura in seven years. Additional transfer options from the Realschule to the Gymnasium ensure good permeability within the Liechtenstein school system.
The grammar school short form corresponds to the four-year upper secondary level.
The aim and task of the Gymnasium is to educate pupils to think and judge independently in a scientific spirit, to introduce them to the methods of intellectual work and to prepare them for university studies. An important requirement of the upper school is that students take responsibility for their own learning. They are therefore given the opportunity to shape their own school career by choosing a specialization and taking electives and optional subjects.
The grammar school therefore offers five different profiles in the upper school leading to the Matura. The choice of profile is not a decision for a specific field of study, but a conscious orientation according to personal inclinations and talents. Bilingual teaching in English is offered in mathematics, geography and economics & law in the upper school.
For talented sportsmen and sportswomen, a sports school is offered in the upper school.
The grammar school education concludes with the Matura, which entitles students to examination-free access to all universities in both Switzerland and Austria.
