The purpose of this two-year project is to improve the quality of the school work with particular emphasis on working with pupils with special educational needs. Our facility provides education to students in eighteen classes, out of which six are integrated mixed-ability classes where healthy children and adolescents with mild intellectual, physical, visual or auditory disabilities and learning difficulties learn together. At the same time the school is a place for the development of young, talented, ambitious people who demand a high level of teaching and the environment to achieve success. The specific objective of the project is therefore to improve the use of innovative teaching methods as well as to strengthen the professional, linguistic and ICT competences of the school staff in order to effectively and as quickly as possible improve the quality of teaching, the implementation of the curriculum, the results of final examinations, increase the efficiency of working with students with special educational needs while effectively take care of the development of talented youth. One of the goals of the project is also the opening of school for international cooperation and the implementation of projects as well as increasing its competitiveness.
