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.
