Lutheran Gymnasium Tisovec
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Facade of the building
Lutheran Gymnasium Tisovec (Evanjelické Gymnázium Tisovec in Slovak, EGT - abbreviation) was founded in 1992. The school is partly bilingual (Slovak/English), which is made possible thanks to the number of American Lutheran missionaries who teach at the school.
[edit] History
The school is based on a long tradition of Lutheran education in the town. Church affiliated education was impossible during the communist era of Czechoslovakia. After the Velvet Revolution in 1989, Slovak Evangelical Lutheran Church started to work on the restoration of the Lutheran high school which used to be in Tisovec before World War II.
Currently, more than 300 students attend the school. The entrance exams are held every year in March.
