History

Its direct predecessor was the Reformed Girls' High School, which was established in 1898 by the Transylvanian Reformed (Calvinist) Diocese. The Transylvanian Diocese, under the leadership of Nagy Károly, decided to establish a civil girls' school, a girls' grammar school, a one-year trade school and a Reformed deaconess training school from 1 September 1919. At the beginning of the 1920s, the Romanian occupation made it difficult to provide education in the mother tongue (Hungarian), the Romanian state tried to prevent this with several laws and financial support was lacking. Since the land and buildings purchased in the previous years had been seized by the Romanian authorities, the girls' grammar school began its studies in the building of the Reformed Boys' Grammar School. In 1921, the Ministry of Public Education suspended the girls' grammar school's right of publicity on the pretext that it did not have its own building. In order to regain the school's right of publicity, and as the classrooms of the Reformed Boys' Grammar School had become overcrowded, the Diocese decided to build a new building for the Girls' High School. The Reformed society in Transylvania raised the necessary funds for the construction of the school through public donations. On 30 May 1926, the foundation stone of the building was laid on a plot of land donated by the congregation of Kolozsvár. The building was designed by Moll Elemér. Teaching in the new wing of the building started only on 8 January 1927. Between 1940 and 1944, despite the fact that Northern Transylvania was under Hungarian rule again, the teaching of Romanian did not cease in the school. In December 1944, with the new Romanian occupation, a committee appeared in the school and the jobs of teachers having Hungarian citizenship were terminated. The school was nationalised in 1948. During the communist period, the nationalist Romanian state power gradually abolished Hungarian education. In 1990, it was proposed that the school should take the name of Apáczai Csere János, in memory of the scholar who contributed so much to the development of Hungarian-language education in Transylvania. This was approved by the Ministry of Education in 1993, and from 1 September 1998 it became a fully Hungarian-language school.
