Colegiul National Alexandru Ioan Cuza, Galati, Romania
The Alexandru Ioan Cuza National College is one of the most important schools in Galati, a city situated in the south east of Romania, by the river Danube. We used to study in an old building until four years ago when we had to move to a different location. Our school is quite big, 915 students study here this schoolyear. They belong to all three school levels - primary, secondary and highschool. Since there are so many pupils and classrooms are not numerous enough, we study in two shifts - there are students who learn in the morning and students who study in the afternoon. They have quite a busy school programme. All of them study two foreign languages; it's either English and German or English and French. They are generally very good at foreign languages. Our school is very old - it was founded in 1864.
