The classes are done in laboratories with internet connection, for each school subject, and the vocational training practice is done in our school restaurant “Phoebus”, our school canteen, the hotels and the restaurants of the economic agents in the town of Tulcea, or at school in the training firms. We have 5 school’s training workshops and also we can accommodate 240 students in our 2 school boarding houses – one of them is a hostel. So far our school has been rated as the third in the county and the first amongst the technological schools thanks to the qualitative education and training opportunities we provide to the students of the community. Our high school has developed students' professional skills and knowledge by involving them in national and international cooperation projects: Comenius, Leonardo da Vinci, eTwinning cooperation, Junior Achievement Romania. Diversifying and improving students’ professional skills and knowledge at European standards is our priority in our School Action Plan. Allowing students to meet peers from other countries, sharing work experience and knowledge on line and in practice is what facilitates their insertion in the European labour market, broadens their horizons and opens new ones concerning culture and language diversity, school and professional experience. All the students get included into the European value and work system and improve their foreign language skills. Our school’s activity is very much supported by the fact that we live in a heavily touristed region. Our town is crossed by the Danube River and many tourists visit the natural reserve of the “Danube Delta”, a unique area, so our town and the Tulcea county becomes an opportunity for work and culture experience especially that in our region one can learn about many customs, traditions and cultural diversity .
