About Us

The Kecskemét Katona József Secondary Grammar School was founded in 1948. In 1957 the institution moved to its current location, a 107-year-old (in 2020) Art Nouveau building.

Throughout the history of the school, the composition of training and the structure of education have also changed much in line with societal expectations.

We were among the first in the country to introduce specialized classes, optional education organization, Hungarian-English bilingual education and six-year training.

Our school is one of the founding institutions of the Arany János Talent Development Program, and at the same time a member of the network of talent points.

During the history of the grammar school it became one of the outstanding, recognized institutions first in Kecskemét, then in Bács-Kiskun county, later in the country.

The current number of students is 710, with students studying in a total of 25 classes.

Our teaching staff consist of 56 full-time teachers and 5 lecturers. Many of our colleagues have prestigious professional awards (Ericsson Award, Junior Prima Award, Graphisoft Award, Beke Manó Award, Less Nándor Award, Schwajda Drama Competition Winner, Pro Talento Award, Bonis Bona Award, MOL MesterM Award).

Our slogan expressively sums up our goals.

Honour and glory to the worthy man

József Katona

In our educational program we have defined our school as a child-centered, talent institution in which the activities of educators are aimed at the versatile development of students' personalities and abilities.
