Srednja Skola Hrvatski Kralj Zvonimir Krk, Croatia

Srednja škola Hrvatski kralj Zvonimir is one of the most important institutions on the island of Krk, Croatia, as it has provided education for young islanders since 1921 when the school was founded. Throughout its history of 95 years, the school has undergone many changes, but has always played a significant role in shaping the island's development and future.

Today students can choose among three and four-year vocational training (mechanics, plumbers, cooks and waiters, tourism and economics) or grammar school which gives them good foundation for college. This year our school has 373 students in 19 classes, with 53 employees, 44 of which are teachers. There are 8 foreign language teachers for English, German, Italian and Latin and 27 teachers for vocational subjects. The school building (5,500 sq.m.) comprises specialised classrooms, two gyms and a playground, kitchen / restaurant and mechanics training areas. Each classroom is equipped with a computer, LCD projector and screen. Activites, performances and events take place in the main hall, library and elsewhere. The surrounding area (15,500 sq.m) has some fruit trees, an olive grove and a small Mediterranean garden.

Teenagers from all over the island attend school in the morning shift.
