I. gimnazija v Celju

What I. gimnazija v Celju does

I. gimnazija v Celju is a public four-year secondary school (gimnazija) in Celje, Slovenia, founded in 1806 and operated under the Slovenian Ministry of Education, Science and Sport. The school delivers general secondary education culminating in the matura examination across five program tracks: Splošna gimnazija (General), Klasična gimnazija (Classical with Latin and Ancient Greek), Evrooddelek (Euro Class with European focus), Umetniška gimnazija – glasbena smer (Artistic – Music, jointly with Glasbena šola Celje), and Športni oddelek (Sports Department, certified under the Olympic Committee's "Športnikom prijazno izobraževanje" program). In the 2026 first-round matura, 205 candidates sat the exam with 24 achieving gold and one diamond graduate status.

The school runs an unusually broad extracurricular portfolio for a secondary institution, including student journalism (Kajuh Press), Podcast Kajuh, School Radio, a youth choir and orchestra, research activities feeding into the national Young Researchers Meeting, the Evropska vas Europe Day project, and the MEPI International Award for Young People. International engagement is anchored by multiple Erasmus+ KA229 projects and bilateral student exchanges with partner schools in Hungary, Russia, Spain, and France. Technology infrastructure is built on standard Slovenian educational platforms — ArnesAAI single sign-on, Moodle (Spletne učilnice), eAsistent for scheduling and student records, Office 365, eduroam, and a 3D virtual tour — with no proprietary systems or AI capabilities.

The business model is that of a state-funded public institution: no tuition is charged, the school derives its operating budget from the Slovenian government via the Ministry of Education, ancillary revenue is limited to nominal fees such as the EUR 2.42 school lunch (with means-tested subsidies), and there is no commercial customer base or investor structure. Marketing and outreach is conducted through the prvagim.si website, social and podcast channels, and participation in regional educational fairs. The school is not investable in the conventional PE/VC sense, but its operational footprint, brand longevity (200+ years, 19 consecutive years as Slovenia's Best Sports School), and program breadth make it a structurally entrenched regional educational provider.
