Our school is located in Satu Mare, a town from the North-Western part of Romania, in the very proximity of Hungarian and Ukrainian borderlines. The region we belong can be defined as a multi-ethnic society.The structure of the population, based on nationality, reveals a 58.5 % Romanian majority, a 35% Hungarian minority, then a 3.6 % German minority and 2.9% others. A lot of people speak at least 2 languages fluently: Romanian and Hungarian.The economic development of our town is a medium one so as the social status of residents is heterogeneous. Almost 600 students aged 6 – 15, are learning in our school on the two levels: primary and secondary one and they are mentored by 43 teachers. Due to the specific structure mentioned above,there is a bilingual type of education in the school: both Romanian and Hungarian. Our students learn English and German as foreign languages. The teachers are also interested to use the most innovative methods of teaching. That’s why they take part to lifelong learning programmes, in order to achieve modern pedagogical approaches so as they can optimise their work with the students. They try to offer the students attractive activities so as the school could be seen as a friendly place for them. We think that better knowledge of modern teaching methods ,can improve the quality of learning, so we encourage the development of the skills and competences in every subject. A big part of our students make very good results at final tests and at different competitions in school subjects and sports. They are very ambitious and they get in some of the best high schools after graduating. Our students’ social status is different and we also have pupils whose parents work abroad. Due to the particular conditions of our region, they are educated in the spirit of tolerance: for pupils with different backgrounds, from different ethnic groups or different confessions. We are also working to integrate a few children with special needs by giving them some facile tasks and involving them in different activities. We teach all of them about the value of social integration and we try to assure equality of opportunities.
