GENERAL

Srednja škola Bol is a secondary school (grammar school and school for the hotel and catering industry) which comprises approximately 130 students (aged 14-18) located in Bol, on the southern coast of the island of Brač, which is located in central Dalmatia near historic town of Split (it takes 50 minutes by ferry to get to Split) and is some 500 kilometres away from the capital city Zagreb.The island's name comes from the Latin word for deer as they were present on the island in the past.

Today Bol is world famous for its beautiful pebbly beach Zlatni rat which is a natural phenomenon as it changes the shape according to the position from which the wind is blowing. The island is accessible by plane, ferry, tourist ships, catamarans and in emergency cases helicopter. Our students come from a wide range of social and academic backgrounds and majority of families work in the field of tourism, stone masonry or fishing industry and mostly live in family houses. In our school we teach these languages: English, German, Italian and Latin.

Our European High School branch focuses on educating students about Europe and the European Union. Learning about political decision making processes in the European Union and its institutions, as well as geography and common cultural or historical events is part of the curriculum of the subject European Studies, which is taught at our school. We aim to connect our students with others from all over Europe and help them with developing important teamworking and self-organisational skills through national and international projects in various directions. Topic-related and curriculum-based excursions and workshops are part of our daily school life.
