Colegiul National B.p. Hasdeu, Buzău

Our school is a state institution, in Buzau, a town in the South-East of Romania, at about 100km from its capital, Bucuresti. We are a theoretical high school/college with students ranging between grades 9 and 12, but we also have a small number of secondary school classes. We have a number of approximatively 1500 students ranging between 11 and 19 years old, and around 80 teachers. National College B. P. Hasdeu is an ASP Net School (UNESCO associated School), and in 2006 we will celebrate 140 years of existence. One of our graduates is a Nobel Prise for Biology Winner and many others are now academicians or University Professors. Many of our Students are prized in International Olympics in Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Social Sciences.

The departments of studies in our high school are: Maths and Computers, Science, Humanistic studies (Foreign languages and the Romanian literature studies) and Social Studies. We have also bilingual classes. Foreign languages studied in school are: English, French, German and Italian.

The plans and curricula pursue the accomplishment of students proficiency and the integration of the school actions into a higher level, even internationally.

There is a special motivation from the part of students and parents, our high school being asked by the best students in our region.

This fact happens because of a 139 year-old tradition, during which its graduates have become famous in various domains, both at a national and at an international level. At present, numerous graduates of our high school are students in famous universities in the USA, Germany and Japan and we are among the first five high schools in the country.

We are now developing many national and international projects and partnerships.
