My name is Lenka Grobarčíková, (formerly Balková), and I graduated from GYMES in 2012. Among the several class teachers I had, I remember Mrs Lencsesová, Mrs Bolčová and Mr Joščák. In my class I got along well with several classmates, especially Daniela, Dominika and Veronika, with whom I have stayed in touch with the longest. After finishing my studies at GYMES, I studied Interpreting and Translation in English and German at the University of Prešov. [...]

My name is Ľubo Ohman. I come from Geča, I am 29 years old, and I studied at GYMES between 2005 and 2013. Our class was historically the second one to be opened at the school, at that time still in Košická Nová Ves. Over the entire eight years we had, surprisingly, only two class teachers, both of whom still teach here today. For the first five years [...]

My name is Martin and I come from Košice. My journey with GYMES began quite by chance, although some might say it could not have happened any other way. When I was choosing my secondary school, or rather a bilingual English grammar school, I had no idea that GYMES even existed. It was only when my grandmother came back from church with a leaflet about a newly opened grammar school and its bilingual programme that I applied [...]

My name is Dominika Mazarová and I am a graduate of GYMES. Still under my maiden name Dominika Pavlíková, I was part of the first, and in many ways groundbreaking, class of the bilingual programme. I graduated in 2016. My class teacher was the wonderful Mrs Mary Lukáčová. After graduating from GYMES, I was accepted to an excellent university in Aalborg in Denmark, where I studied International Hospitality Management. During [...]

I studied at GYMES from 2007 to 2011 in the eight-year programme, and from 2011 to 2016 in the five-year programme. When I look back, I see a little fifth-year pupil in 2007 who had no idea that she would spend almost all her childhood and adolescence at this school. My journey officially ended with my leaving examinations in 2016, but the memories remained. I was fortunate to have wonderful class teachers, Mgr. [...]

My name is Šimon Šoltés and I studied at GYMES from 2013 to 2018. At first our class teacher was Ľubica Mervová, and later she was replaced by Zuzka Lehotai. I had friends in every class at GYMES, but I have stayed in contact mainly with Lucka Hlaváčiková, Gabika Laurenčíková, Dávid Švec, Idka Baluchová, Janči Snopko, Luky Horizral, Števka Blanárová and [...]

Hello, GYMES students! It is a great honour for me to have the opportunity to say a few words to you and briefly present my story. My name is Jakub Lukčo and I was a student at GYMES from September 2013 to June 2018. Physically, however, I only started attending school from the second year, as during my first year I was still studying and [...]

My name is Klaudia Feteríková. I studied at GYMES from 2013 to 2018, and even after all these years I still remember this school with a smile. During those five years, our class had as many as three class teachers: Mrs Popíková, Mrs Mahútová and finally Mr Hric, [...]

My name is Lucia Ristvey, (formerly Raffaelisová). I began my studies at GYMES in 2013 and successfully completed them with my leaving examinations in 2018. During the first three years our class teacher was Mrs Mervová, a Salesian sister. She was later succeeded by Mrs Lehotai. Our group consisted mainly of girls who had already known one another from primary school, and many of us [...]

I attended the St Edith Stein Grammar School from 2014 to 2019 in the class of Mrs Mgr Petra Filová. After my leaving examinations, I decided to study International Business Administration at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt in Bavaria. My bachelor’s programme was structured as two years of study at the home university and two years abroad. I studied in France at Toulouse [...]

My name is Michaela Sotáková and I graduated from GYMES in 2021. I am grateful that throughout all five years my class teacher was Zuzana Trail. My closest friends from my year were, and still are, Terezka Füleová, Františka Sorgerová (now Sviatková), Ema Gromová (now Dečová) and Aďo Pastorek. At the same time, I must honestly say that many other GYMES students [...]

My name is Samuel Rinik and I am a graduate of GYMES from the academic year 2021/2022. During my studies at the grammar school my class teacher for almost four years, except for the third year which I spent in the United States, was Sister Mgr Marta Benejová, and in the final year also Mrs Mgr Zuzana Lehotai. After completing my leaving examinations in Art History and Civics [...]

My name is Saška and I was a student at GYMES from 2011 until 2019, when I graduated. For the first three years I studied in the eight-year programme and afterwards in the five-year programme. Today I can honestly say that it was one of the most beautiful periods of my life, and I am truly grateful to GYMES for so much. For the entire five years [...]

My name is JUDr Júlia Hoffmanová, LL.M., and I graduated from GYMES in 2018 under the guidance of my class teacher ThLic Tomáš Filip, PhD, who was not only our teacher but also an important mentor on our path to adulthood. My studies at the grammar school provided me with a strong foundation and important values that continue to shape both my personal and professional life. [...]

My name is Michal Lukáč and I graduated from GYMES in 2023 in Mrs Ivana Vaľková’s class. During my studies, I spent most of my time with the boys from the school radio station Rádio Šok and with the group around the association Teologické kapučíno. Those were beautiful and important years. At present, I am studying Philosophy and Economics at Masaryk University in Brno. I liked the PPE programme, Politics, Philosophy and Economics, which is offered at many [...]

My name is Henika Poláková and I studied at GYMES from 2018 to 2023. For the last three years, my class teacher was our most wonderful Mrs Ivana Vaľková. We were very good friends in our class, but my closest and best friend from the very beginning was Maťa, and that is still the case today. After finishing GYMES, I began studying [...]
