History
The Áprily Lajos High School is the only Hungarian high school in the town and the largest Hungarian-language secondary school in Barcaság and the whole Brassó County.
On October 1, 1837, the abbot-parish priest Felfalusi Kovács Antal started the education of the 20 students of the first Grammar school class in the dining room of the Downtown Roman Catholic Parish. From 1856, the school was downgraded to an elementary school by the Austrian imperials. German was made compulsory instead of Latin, which led to a significant reduction in the number of pupils. The Austro-Hungarian Compromise in 1867 also brought a change in the life of the school: the language of instruction finally became Hungarian. The main aim was to regain the status of a grammar school, and this was achieved in the 1872/1873 school year. On 1 June 1900, construction of the new building began. It was completed by 1 September 1901. On 28 August 1916, the Romanian army occupied Brassó. They were driven out soon, but normal teaching was not restored until the 1919/1920 school year, after the second Romanian occupation. The teaching of Romanian language was introduced at the same time, and from the third grade onwards, Romanian history, geography and constitutional law had to be taught in Romanian. In June 1948, the communists nationalised the school and it was officially renamed Hungarian Mixed Lyceum No. 4. In 1960, the Hungarian Mixed Lyceum No. 4 was abolished and the Hungarian section was transferred to the Unirea Lyceum, which lasted until 1990. In May 1992 the school officially received the name Áprily Lajos Theoretical Lyceum.
