PROFILE OF THE SCHOOL

AND ITS GRADUATES

    The idea of founding of the secondary bilingual private school originates from September 2000, when the demand of bilingual secondary education was significantly increasing and proving as one of the most effective ways of entering European organizations.

   The school was established in February 2001 with the first educational term of 2001/2002. The educational process is bilingual. The students study in English from the very beginning of the first grade. Slovak language and literature, other foreign languages, Ethics, Aesthetics, and Civics are exceptions. Along with the tutorial lessons, from the second grade there are lectures in certain subjects (natural science and humanities).

   The educational process comprises elements of the progressive education based on special assessment criteria, content of study, motivation of students and good relationships between teachers and students. We put a great emphasis on individual responsibility of students in terms of study and organization.

   The aim is to participate in educating young people in a way that, as graduates, they will be able to express themselves and their opinions in a sophisticated way. Furthermore, we emphasise the open-mindedness and empathy of students and that their opinions are informed by the ability to think “straight,” relevantly and logically. The graduate should be able to speak two foreign languages and continue studying at foreign universities.

   The teachers come from different countries, which gives cosmopolitan background. It provides students with an opportunity of getting to know different cultures and countries.   

  The Secondary Grammar School is financed by school fees, state subsides and sponsors.
