School history
In 1910 the school for girls only was founded. Later it changed into a coeducativ school. In the late 90s we worked on various forms for our schooldevelopment. In 2010 the first students did the A-levels in our new subjects.

What we want to tell about our school
Our pupils come from Innsbruck and same close villages. Because of their various backgrounds our school tends to be a colourful, lively place.
