  • Grammar School of P.J. Šafárik was founded in the 17th century in the Gemer region.Grammar school of P.J. Šafárik in Rožňava focuses on general education at a four-year, five-year and eight-year study. It offers four courses which are four-year study in Slovak and Hungarian language, eight-year study and five -year bilingual study. Currently we have 420 students and 35 teachers. The school is traditionally focused on teaching foreign languages, but our students also have very good computer skills. In each class, students have the opportunity to study English, German, French, Russian and Italian. Our school is ranked 2nd in the Košice Region.We have participated in various projects. The biggest Erasmus + project which we were participating was KA201 Handbook for reluctant, struggling and poor readers where we created intelectual outputs and focused on the improvement of reading literacy. We consider the project as the biggest success and according to the evaluation by the teachers from other schools, the project is still beneficial. The intelectual outputs are used not only by our school but by outher schools as well. These are the main reasons we have decided to improve this previous project and build upon it. The key people involved in this project will be the teachers of Slovak and English languages, maths, management of personal finances and economics, history and biology. Key people: Eva Szanyiová teaches English language, British and American literature and translation and interpretation seminars and is responsible for the reading literacy activities at our school. Stefan Hronec, teaches English language and History in Slovak language, History in English language. He is in charge of improving not only the language skills of our students but as well to enhance their interest in history. Tatiana Chocholová, teaches Management of personal finances and Economics, English language and is responsible for improving the financial and language skills of the students and to prepare them for the final examination. Lýdia Kalinová teaches Slovak language and literature. The Gymnazium curriculum requires a high level of reading literacy and the students must be well preapared for their exams, further studies at universities. Katarína Adamková teaches maths and biology and is responsible for improving the scientific and matthematical literacy and natural science skills of the students and to prepare them for the final examination as a lot of students are interested in studying at medicine. In case these persons leave their post in the future there are teachers who teach the same subjects so they can be replaced as we have 35 teachers. The school has many years of experiences.
