Alternatív Közgazdasági Gimnázium ("Alternative Secondary School of Economics") is a six-year high school in Budapest, Hungary.

AKG had the distinction of being the first foundation school in Hungary (established in 1988). AKG was established as an independent teachers' workshop. Its founders and organisers were all practising educators, who created and developed the educational program in the course of more than two years.

The basic educational principle of the school is that a child is not preparing for life but is living it. The school has given up the traditional instruments of institutional regulation, including house rules, systems of punishment and reward. These have been replaced with the free flow of information and the freedom of choice, emphasising the individual personalities of students, and taking into account their personal needs and concerns. The nature of this freedom changes along with the different stages of the students' life in the school.
