Österreichisches Gymnasium Prag (Rakouské gymnázium v Praze, ÖGP) was founded in 1991 as a Czech private school and in 1993 was incorporated into the Czech school system. It is a six-year bilingual Gymnasium: the first two years (grades 8 and 9 in the Czech system) focus on German and English, and in the final four years most subjects are taught in German. The school says 'Only some subjects (Czech, Sports, Arts and parts of Social Sciences and History) are taught in Czech'. Besides German and English, students learn French and Spanish, with optional Latin; the school is an examination centre for the Austrian language diploma ÖSD at B2 and C1 and prepares for DELF. Classes are taught in small groups. Graduates receive both a Czech and an Austrian school-leaving certificate. The school is a faculty school of the Faculty of Education of Charles University.

BMBAustria's Federal Ministry of Education (BMB)
An Austrian school abroad: the Austrian curriculum adapted to the country, teachers sent by Austria's ministry, and leavers receive the Austrian Matura and the local certificate. Every such school is named on the list of Austria's education ministry.
What the badge means for this school. This is an Austrian school abroad, and that can be checked on the list of Austria's education ministry. The entry is not a quality inspection: a school is on the list as part of the Austrian network, not as the outcome of an assessment. What it charges and in which language the youngest pupils are taught are on the school's own website. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it.

The Austrian school curriculum adapted to the country: leavers receive the Austrian Matura and the local certificate.
What this means for this school. The curriculum is set by Austria's education ministry, which also names the school on its list of Austrian schools abroad and sends its teachers. The Matura is the Austrian school-leaving certificate used for entry to Austrian universities; according to the ministry, the school's certificates are recognised by both countries.
National programme
The state school programme of the country the school stands in: it is set by that country's ministry of education, which also licenses the school and awards the leaving certificate. That certificate is used for entry to local universities, and abroad it is matched to the local one.
What this means for this school. This entry does not count towards the score, and that is deliberate. Every lawful school in a country works to the national programme, so on its own it tells one school apart from no other - unlike the French, German or Russian programmes, which are carried abroad and confirmed by the register of their organisation. We show it because a parent needs to know what programme their child is taught and what certificate the child will get. Counting it would lift the whole ranking at once and still tell nobody apart.
Exams and destinations from the school's official website
The school publishes nothing about where its leavers go: no share going on to university, no exam results, no list of universities.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 8 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
