The Gymnasium

In our high school, learning becomes a process of development - knowledge gains depth, thinking broadens. Language diversity, individual support, all-day care, and international perspectives shape the aspiration and community that the Theresianum has stood for almost 300 years. Here, young people develop their strengths, find confidence in their abilities, and gain courage to make decisions. Welcome to the place where the future begins.

We open up possibilities. For those who forge their own path.

At Theresianum, the future grows - carried by values, guided by education.

HR Mag. Andreas Schatzl

Director of the public Gymnasium and Board of the Foundation "Theresian Academy"

The Theresianum has stood for education that combines knowledge, attitude, and humanity since its founding. At the public high school of the Theresian Academy, we impart to young people far more than academic excellence: We foster curiosity, critical thinking, and a sense of responsibility—qualities needed by an open and democratic society.

For us, education also means discovering the joy in one's own achievements and boldly developing personal strengths. We encourage our students to face challenges with confidence, act fairly, be honest, and show moral courage—because character building is as central as imparting knowledge.

We understand school as a shared living space, where tradition and innovation come together in a fruitful interplay. We cherish our historical identity and develop it further by naturally integrating modern teaching methods, digital competencies, and international perspectives.

Our goal is to empower young people to shape their future confidently, competently, and responsibly—with courage, with attitude, and with joy in their own abilities.

For here, in the heart of Vienna, in the spirit of centuries of educational work, the future begins anew every day.
