Background
The school was founded in 1957 and initially operated as an afternoon school in the premises of the Lerchenfeldstraße Gymnasium. In 1975, the school moved to the current building located on Ebenthaler Straße, which is now under protection as a historical monument.

The school offers instruction in Slovenian, German, English, and Italian to both Slovene and non-Slovene students interested to enrol. Number of students are residents of neighbouring municipalities in Slovenia itself.[2] Slovenian and German are taught in the same duration of school hours.
