Grafička škola u Zagrebu (Graphics School of Zagreb) is a public high school in Zagreb, Croatia. The school has 550 students and 70 employees, of which 54 are educators.

History

In 1886, two book printers completed their apprenticeship in the school. Eight years later, in 1894, another group of 19 book printers finished their education there. By 1945, more than 1,500 students had completed their studies at Grafička škola u Zagrebu. (By the decision of the Teachers' Council of Croatia, 1894 is considered the year of establishment of the school.) Eleven thousand students have graduated school to date.

The main directorate of the graphics industry donated printing machinery, devices and furniture to the school.

The first school building was located in Gundulićeva 10. In 1951, Grafička škola u Zagrebu moved to its current location in Getaldiceva and acquired a part of a building where the Museum of Arts and Crafts is located today.
