Grammar school Opatovska cesta 7, Kosice
Our school was established as a grammar school on 1.9.1980. It took place in the area of a previous economic high school. The location of the school is in the suburbs of the second largest city in Slovakia – Kosice. The advantage of the location, which is not in the centre of the city is, that our school has its own area with a sportsground. The sportsground is used for many activities, such as competitions and PE lessons. Our school has approximately 400 students who are divided into classrooms according to their specific study plan. Our studends have an opportunity to choose from 4 study plans as – FOUR-YEAR study plan with higher education of English or informatics and science subjects, FIVE-YEAR BILINGUAL study plan with English, or German language, and EIGHT-YEAR study plan which is set for the students who come from the primary school. Because our school is really focused on foreign languages students study Slovak language as their mother tongue, English language as a foreign language and then they also have an opportunity to choose the third one from 3 alternatives – German, Spanish and Russian. In the end of each study plan students have specific tests called MATURITA where they have to show their knowledge from Slovak language, 2 or 3 subjects which they choose by their own and then subjects which are chosen according to the specific study plan. Our school also has its own school canteen, buffet, gym, classrooms which are dedicated to the specific subjects as laboratory of Chemistry, Biology and Physics, classrooms with computers, English laboratory used by students who have English lessons and relaxing room, which is used by students when they have a free lesson. Our school cooperates with several foreign schools and has been engaged in several international projects such as project Erasmus+. Students also have several activities which are considered as traditions for example IMATRIKULACIA – it is like a dance ball, where every first graders have to introduce their own classroom to become members of the school and STUZKOVA which is like a Graduation prom in the last school year. To sum up, our school has big opportunities not only connected with learning and education, but also with funny and cultural experiences.

Our social workers are more than happy to provide guidance to students that are in need of any help. We support a healthy nutrition, that is why we provide our students a warm breakfast,lunch and a snack in the morning and afternoon. For younger children the school provides afterclass care until 5 p.m. The inside of the school is full of specialized classrooms like: the computer room, a chemistry lab , an arts and crafts clasroom and more. Every class goes to “camp” to a different location each year for 3 or 5 days where they are engaged in a lot of sports and outdoors activities. At the end of the last grade we organize a Valeta which is similar to Homecoming, where ninth graders remember all the precious moments that they made during their time in primary school Trnovo. The school is happy to give it’s students so much knowledge,happiness and safety.
