Kanizsay Dorottya Catholic High School

         Kanizsay from the 16th century.

The education and training started with almost 900 students in the newly built Art Nouveau style building at Emperor Franz Joseph square – later to be changed into Tanoda-square -  in the new developing and boooming northern part of greater Budapest, called Újpest (New Pest district) residential area. In 1975, to meet the increasing demand of the growing city for special professional staff,  the profile the school was changed from general high school  to specific healthcare vocational secondary school, providing training schemes in dozens of ’humane’ professions ending in matura final exam, as well. In the modern times of the 21st century, following the deep structural reforms taking place in the Hungarian education system ever since 2011, our school was taken over from the Budapest City council’s maintenance by the Klebelsberg Educational Institutes’ Centre, and ever since 1 July, 2015,  complying with a new specific decree of the Hungarian Government all the Budapest vocational schools – including our school -  have been operated and maintained by the Tourism and Humane Vocational Training Centre of Budapest under the administrative structure of the Ministry of National Economy.At present there are around 50 teachers and trainers in the professional staff of our school, most of them having MA or MSc degrees teaching around 500 students in secondary, seral - evening classes for adults- and post-graduate training schemes.According to the outstanding results of our students particularly in regional and national vocational competitions, we can proudly affirm that the Kanizsay Healthcare Vocational School provides the best humane professional training in the matter in Budapest.
