In our school we teach a considerable number of students who are vulnerable to vulnerable groups (Roma pupils, pupils from very poor families, children with parents left abroad). They do not attach great importance to the act of education, and therefore we are considering activities that will inspire their love for school, in parallel with the creation of concrete situations in which they feel valued by providing a greater space for affirmation of their abilities and skills .
Our institution supports the community to create a safe and adequate space for formal and non-formal activities. Taking into account the specificity of the community that assures the school population of our unity, we believe that the improvement of the behavior for a harmonious development starts from small ages, and the involvement of our school in such activities was rewarded by the President of Romania, Klaus Iohannis, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary years of its foundation, as a mark of appreciation for the exceptional results achieved in the process of intellectual and human training of younger generations, for the promotion of the quality of Romanian education, with the Order “Merit for Education” as Commander.
