The Admont Abbey Grammar School
Ever since our monastery was founded in 1074, the monks of Admont have been committed to establishing education in the region – today through the Admont Abbey Grammar School.

Key areas of focus at Admont Abbey Grammar School
As a local school serving a large catchment area, Stiftsgymnasium Admont endeavours to cater for as wide a range of talents and interests as possible and offers the following educational streams:
- Grammar school with a linguistic focus
- Secondary school with a focus on natural sciences
- Musisches Realgymnasium (Artistic grammar school)
- Secondary school with a sports focus
- Upper secondary school with a focus on natural sciences
Gymnasium (Grammar School)
From Year 3 onwards, pupils in the languages stream are taught either Latin or Italian in addition to English. In the upper school, French or Latin is then offered as a supplementary subject.
Realgymnasium (Scientific grammar school)
The type-forming specialisations in the Realgymnasium are geometric drawing and scientific exercises in the lower school and biology/physics/chemistry (with a science laboratory) and computer science or descriptive geometry in the upper school.
Musisches Realgymnasium (Artistic grammar school)
The musical training includes learning to play an instrument, choral singing and, increasingly, music theory. In addition, various choirs, a string ensemble and a big band round off this branch of the curriculum.
Secondary school with a sports focus
Ultimately, the focus on sport at Stiftsgymnasium means a high-quality general education combined with a wide range of sporting activities. To this end, we make use of the facilities available on the school grounds (e.g. gyms, two sports pitches, our own swimming pool) and those in the local area.
Upper secondary school
With the relevant grades, pupils can also progress directly from secondary school to the ORG from Year 9 onwards. The focus here is also on the natural sciences – see Realgymnasium. This means pupils can complete their Matura in just four years.
General information
In addition, compulsory-choice subjects are offered and taught as term-based courses from Year 6 to Year 8. Furthermore, the range of courses is complemented by various optional activities and elective subjects, as well as the opportunity to obtain certificates (in languages and IT). It is also the school’s aim to offer pupils the opportunity to take part in competitions in various fields.
