Wirtschaftskundliches Realgymnasium der Ursulinen in Innsbruck

Our grammar school (US high school) provides secondary education for girls from the age of 10 to 18. It is a private school run by the order of the Ursulines. It has all the rights of a public school with all its certificates, including the diploma ("Reifeprüfung") being fully recognized by the government. The diploma will enable our students to embark on any kind of academic studies.

School profile
We strive to attain an equilibrium of body and mind with our variety of subjects as well as by encouraging our pupils to pursue artistic and athletic extra-curricular activities. In subjects suited to such an end, we try to balance theory and practice by including periods of practical training in otherwise rather academic subjects like Psychology.
 

The following subjects are of particular importance in our curriculum:

• Biology
• Geography / Economic and Social Studies
• Handicrafts
• Home Economics
• Physical Education
• Psychology / Philosophy

Beyond classes and additional courses:

• Supervised study time /("Tagesheim"): In the afternoon, pupils of the junior classes may -by special arrangement- do their homework in small groups, which are supervised by teachers.
• Music school

English:
Special emphasis is placed on the teaching of English, which is being taught from the first right through to the eighth form.
