School Mission
Our teaching and learning programs are oriented towards the development of key and cross-curricular competences, enabling students to be competitive and functional within both current and future educational and professional environments.
We prepare students to competently and actively fulfil their civic roles and to participate responsibly in a democratic society and within their wider environment.
The student is at the center of the teaching and learning process. Students are guided towards using diverse sources of information and applying information technologies for educational purposes.
School Vision
We strive to meet institutional quality standards, standards in the field of teaching and learning, educational standards—standards of student achievement—and standards of competences for the teaching profession and the professional development of educators.
We continuously invest efforts in developing students’ psychosocial skills: communication and interpersonal skills (such as empathy, cooperation and teamwork, and assertive communication), decision-making and critical thinking skills, as well as coping and self-management skills (including the development of self-confidence and self-efficacy, goal-setting, emotional regulation, and stress management).
We aim to remain a recognized vocational school known for the quality of its work and for ensuring a safe learning environment.
We follow the processes of modernization and digitalization and continuously support the professional development of our staff.
Cooperation and Projects
The School successfully cooperates with numerous institutions and organizations from both the governmental and non-governmental sectors, with the aim of improving its educational work. This cooperation has resulted in many projects that have been completed or are currently in progress. These include: Peer Mediation; Case Studies – Business Challenge; the Future Leaders Programme; Workshops for the Development of Social Competences and Creativity; a Project for Reducing Student Absenteeism, and many others.

A large number of students take part in various competitions in the fields of economics and sport, achieving numerous individual and team awards.
