HOREZUHorezu, a small mountain town, is situated in the south-western part of the country
and is famous-nationally and internationally for a wonderful
tradition, that has been preserved and passed over from generation: pottery.
The landscapes are amazing and the people’s friendly. These are the reasons why
tourism is the main preoccupation of the officials and the local people. It hasn’t got many people about 7000 inhabitants. Around the town
there are some small but beautiful villages.
High School Constantin Brancoveanu Horezu
Our school Gr. S. “Constantin Brancoveanu” Horezu is well-equipped and one of the biggest schools in the region, as over 2000 students are educated here by 100 teachers and
engineers every year.
The school provides education for both primary students-who start school at the age of 6 or 7 – and secondary students-
who finish it in their eighteens or nineteens. Our students study English and French as foreign languages and some of them have already been integrated in a
few projects in the past few years.
That is why our school is really interested in getting involved in other European projects, as this is a great
opportunity for both our students and our teachers to broaden their cultural horizon by learning more about other
cultures and other traditions; to understand the need for better
education and equal opportunities for all students, regardless of their social or
cultural background.
