II. gimnazija Maribor is a school with a long tradition of excellence for more than 70 years. During this time, the school has always adhered to its mission: to develop creativity, solidarity, initiative and independence. We achieve this mission through excellent, high-quality lessons and numerous extra-curricular activities that enable our students to develop their talents, interests and skills. Furthermore, we expect the students to exhibit curiosity and commitment to work, allowing them to enrol into the best Slovene faculties and even some of the world’s most renowned universities.

With the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IB DP), the school is also active in the international cultural and educational context. International students who enrol in the IB DP add to the atmosphere of II. gimnazija Maribor, making it more vibrant and diverse. Furthermore, by carrying out several international student exchanges, we enable our students to gain insight into other cultures and languages, teaching them tolerance and empathy.

The school is open to students’ and their parents’ initiatives, representing an essential aspect of the school’s development and adding a dimension of mutual understanding in solving problems.

The time students spend at II. gimnazija Maribor represents the students’ formative years and has an essential impact on their personal and academic growth. Always bearing this in mind, we are proud that thousands of students have graduated from our school and become active members of society. I hope you will take the chance and join us either in the National Grammar School Programme or in the IB DP.
