'''Gymnázium Jura Hronca''' (GJH) is a [[gymnasium (school)|gymnasium]] (grammar school) in [[Bratislava]], [[Slovakia]].

The school focuses on the study of natural sciences, mathematics, and computer sciences. However, its affiliation with the [[International Baccalaureate]], an active bi-lingual (English – Slovak) programme and the option to study several foreign languages such as French and German, the school has a strong reputation for the study of foreign languages.

In the school year 2005/2006, GJH launched lower programs of [[IB Primary Years Programme]] and [[IB Middle Years Programme]].

The school has been recently known as the "Spojená škola Gymnázium Jura Hronca a ZŠ Košická" (United school of the Gymnázium Jura Hronca and the Košická Primary School) after a merge with the primary school ''Základná škola a osemročné gymnázium Košická'' sharing the same building.<ref>Gymnázium Jura Hronca, March 13, 2011, this article</ref>
