Elementary school Reininghaus: A modern education center for Graz

In Graz, the educational offer for the youngest is significantly expanded. The newly opened Reininghaus elementary school is celebrated as a major project in the city and is an investment in the future with a cost of almost 24 million euros. The lessons have been running since September, but the official inauguration was only celebrated last Wednesday. With the start of the school year 2024/25, the school welcomed more than 160 pupils in a total of nine classes, including six first classes and two second classes, which have changed from the Neuhart elementary school here.

Education City Councilor Kurt Hohensinner describes the Reininghaus elementary school as a showcase project. It not only offers space for families, but also a wealth of modern facilities that are intended to promote the learning and development of children. The school includes a spacious foyer, a dining room and flexible learning landscapes, creative rooms, leisure rooms, a gymnasium and a central library. Outside, care was also taken to offer the pupils enough movement area, with a forecourt, a small grass field, a sports hard court and a school garden.

These sustainable techniques are part of the vision of creating a student -friendly and environmentally conscious learning environment.

An investment of 23.65 million euros is available for school equipment, with reserves included.

The Reininghaus elementary school will become the largest elementary school in Styria, right after the Puntigam elementary school. This educational center not only sets new standards in school architecture, but also shows how important it is to invest in the city of Graz in the formation of its children.
