          Our philosophy

          “A child’s upbringing should be pure and simple, resulting in a kind-hearted, wise and contented human being.“

          The educational process at our school is based on creative and humanistic principles and is unwaveringly focused on the students – their needs and interests, their parents‘ requirements and also the requirements of the universities.   

          Our school makes the most of the opportunities it has to formulate its profile, through the school educational programme, for both bilingual studies and conventional studies. This is linked to the principle of life-long learning and also to that of practical application of one’s learning in the real world.  The above-mentioned programme enables our students to specialize in particular fields on the basis of their own individual interests and abilities.

          Bearing in mind the need to provide a thorough preparation for all kinds of university studies, our school offers a solid foundation when it comes to knowledge of Slovak language and literature, foreign languages and mathematics, First and foremost, however, we prioritize in our teaching methods the development of critical thinking, the encouragement of creativity, and the ability to solve problems, to assess situations objectively, to accept solutions, and to present the results of one´s work effectively.

          Facilities and technical equipment at our school:

          As of September 1, 2016, the school relocated to a renovated building at Kolpašská Street No. 1738/9. The new premises fully meet the spatial requirements for gymnázium-type education as defined by the iŠVP for ISCED 3A.

          The building consists of one underground and three above-ground floors, with barrier-free access to the premises.

          Most classrooms and their associated teachers’ offices are located on the second and third floors. The classrooms are spacious and well-lit, each accommodating approximately 32 students. Their specialized use is subject-based, allowing not only the teaching of specific subjects but also the provision of tools and teaching aids tailored to each subject. Teacher offices for these subjects are situated in close proximity to the respective classrooms.

          The second and third floors also house three IT classrooms equipped with personal computers and a video conferencing system, a chemistry-biology-physics laboratory, a lecture hall for 60 students, and the deputy principal's office. The laboratories' facilities fully meet the needs of gymnázium studies. During laboratory exercises in physics, chemistry, and biology, students work in two modern laboratories, equipped with standard tools, a trinocular microscope with camera capabilities, two large astronomical telescopes, and other implements.

          On the first floor, there are entrance areas, a reception desk, the secretary's office, the principal's office, the financial department office, a library, physical education offices, a gym, and smaller storage areas.

          The underground floor is designated for storage space, a gymnastics hall, changing rooms, and sanitary facilities for physical education. This floor also features a lecture hall for approximately 140 students.

          The school building includes a spacious auditorium that can accommodate about 220 students.

          The school's computer equipment is of a high standard. There are three multifunctional classrooms equipped with audiovisual technology for implementing new teaching methods. Most fully organized classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards, data projectors, and internet access.

          IT classrooms are equipped with standard ICT equipment for 16–32 students. The IT classroom for 32 students also has modern video conferencing equipment.

          Student workspaces (classrooms, laboratories, library, and recreational areas) are furnished with new school furniture.

          The school premises provide wireless internet access as well as a wired internet network.

          The library's collection of textbooks and other print materials is continuously updated as needed.

          In the 2011/2012 school year, the school completed an ESF project entitled "Preparation of a New School Education Program Focused on ICT," which enabled the addition and renovation of ICT equipment while also providing teacher training for its use in the educational process. As part of the project, an e-learning portal was developed to introduce new forms and methods of teaching in all subjects.

          In the 2014/2015 school year, the school participated in two national projects supporting digital education: "Modern Education – Digital Education for General Education Subjects" and "Digitalisation of the Regional Education System" – Digiškola.
