The Radnóti Miklós Experimental Grammar School of Szeged saw many profile changes throughout its 120 year old
history. Originally named after Gábor Klauzál, it served as a boys’ real school for Szeged’s middle class. After the second
World War a mixed education was introduced, adding the training of skilled workmanship next to the real school. The
current general gymnasial profile – aiming to achieve scientific excellence – was gradually built up starting from 1957. The
school’s building is as old as the institute itself, historically decorated yet equipped with state of the art laboratories and ICT
appliances. At the moment six different departments are operated: Mathematics-Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics,
General Studies (with increased English or Spanish classes), Humanities and a talent care division focusing on students with
underprivileged backgrounds.
The students achieve the best results in Mathematics
and Sciences. The average grades of the
final examinations and the number of students
accepted to universities both mark efficiency of
the education and talent care. It is also known
that not many schools can exceed the ’Radnóti’
when it comes to results at national and international
competitions. While the faculty is proud of
the students’ achievements, they consider these
competitions as a means of education, not as a
main goal. During the preparation the students
can learn confidence, persistency, self-knowledge
and cooperation next to the professional
knowledge. Hence the school’s motto: ’Sapere
aude’ – ’Dare to know’.
The construction of the Specialized Laboratory
for Scientific Education (TERMOSZ Laboratory)
was finished in 2015. The laboratory is located
at the school’s area yet plays a central part in
the renewal of scientific education collaborating
with 18 other schools in the Szeged school
district. The associates also help with the preparations
and executions of international competitions,
in addition they play a key role in the
national biological talent care.
