History
The building of the grammar school was constructed between 1906 and 1908 in Hungarian Art-Nouveau style according to the plans of Lechner Ödön.
Archbishop Pázmány Péter of Esztergom established the Jesuit College of Pozsony on September 11, 1626. The construction of the new building of the college started in 1628. The college and the grammar school were located in that building until 1714, when it was moved to the former house of Behaim Balázs on Batthiány Square (now Primate Square). lt was one of the oldest buildings of Pozsony and it was in a bad condition. The school later moved to the former monastery of the Clarissans. After the dissolution of the Jesuit Order, the Benedictines managed the school. The Benedictines were exiled in 1850 for their patriotic behavior after the fall of the Hungarian Revolution and War of Independence, and the language of the education became German during the absolutism. In 1861 the school could return to Hungarian-language education and after 1867 it became a royal Catholic grammar school with 8 classes. The famous Hungarian composer Bartók Béla was also its student. In 1919 Pozsony was invaded by the Czechoslovak army and they turned the school into a Slovak-language grammar school. Although more than twice as many Hungarians lived in the town, the invaders did not allow the school to start new first class with Hungarian-language education.
