Guiding principles/ideas

One of the most important goals of our school is to enable the young people to develop their potentials to the highest possible extent with regard to knowledge, life skills and competencies, making them active citizens aware of their rights and responsibilities within their communities.

Focus of work

• extracurricular activities like humanitarian aid and cooperation with external organizations on local, regional and national level, such as institutions and civil society organizations
• international cooperation, e.g. European Parliament Ambassador School (raising awareness of rights, responsibilities and possibilities of involvement in policy and decision making processes on EU level) 
• education for human rights and democracy and in this sense outreach to the whole community
• ​participation in numerous projects with national and international partners

A special feature

• students can choose to be educated in Croatian or Serbian language, so all of their lessons are in their mother tongue (with addition of Croatian language lessons, if they choose the Serbian language)
