Alberghiero De Carolis - Spoleto

The whole building of st. Paul is called after the church dedicated ton the apostle paul. The church dates back to the vi century, at the beginning it was a monastery and nuns lived there. Later it became a place for male beggars, but in 1868 also female beggars lived there, the so called” lunatic, quiet, harmless” so it became a mental home, only in 1960 it became an old people’s home.The building of st. Paul inter vineas, is a school surrounded by green and in the beauty of the landscape, infact there are many trees and a beautiful sight of spoleto and its most famous monuments: the cxastle, st. Peter’s, and monteluco.

The school represents one of the best example of a building where students can study in a comfortable environment and feel at their ease.Next to the school there is the boarding-school, where students from all over italy and all over the world can stay during the school year.

In our school there are five professional courses: enogastronomic, bartending, receptionist, commercial services and tourism. Each of them give the students the opportunity to study two or three languages and to improve them thanks to linguistic strages abroad.

In the summer time, our students go to seaside or mountain establishments to improve their working skill, getting good professional training. There is also the school-work alternation. Once a week the students don’t go to school to go and work in many establishments of the town.

There are many other activities and projects we do with foreign countries, as erasmus plus, and in the summer time our students go abroad to work in many establishments, improving their working and speaking skills.

There is another erasmus project we are doing with poland and croatia, and students will attend  cooking courses in  the hotellery schools of the three countries (italy,poland,croatia ).

 

Zespół Szkół nr 2 w Szczytnie im Jędrzeja Śniadeckiego

 

The building of Zespół Szkół nr 2 in Szczytno was rebuilt after II World War and put to use in 1955 as Pedagogical Lyceum. Zespół Szkół Zawodowych (Vocational Schools Complex) was created In 1973, and from 2003 it has functioned as Zespół Szkół nr 2.

Before II World War the building functioned as Gymnasium Hindenburgschule, and before as Lehrerseminar. Both buildings were destroyed during I and II World War.

We combine didactics with services for local community through teaching teenagers and organizing various events: conferences, banquets, catering, running the school hotel, canteen. We take an active part in the life of the region.

The patron of the school is Jędrzej Śniadecki. He was a Polish writer, physician, chemist and biologist. His achievements include, among others,  the creation of modern Polish terminology in the field of chemistry.

First profiles in the school included: Technical School of Roads, Technical School of Rettery, Vocational School of Construction.

The graduates of our school play a vital role in the social and economic life. They are, among others:

  • Teachers in our school
  • Academic teachers
  • Businessmen
  • Local politicians
  • CEOs
  • Firefighters

Through years, the profiles changed to agricultural ones, because of such a need on the market. The agricultural graduates increased in a great way the level of agricultural production, introducing specialist, high-commodity farms (milk production, beef cattle, agro tourism)

Later, the need occurred for profiles connected with food processing and services sector. So, a Technical School of Catering, Technical School of Food Technology and Technical Schools with profiles of a Cook and Waiter emerged. In the next years, in accordance with regional strategy, which emphasized the development of tourist and rest areas, a Technical School of Hotelier and Tourism was created.

On the job market one could notice the lack of specialists from IT, so the directors of the school started cooperation with the CEO of 7bulls company – Cezary Augustynowicz (a graduate of our school). It enabled the creation of Lyceum with the profile of math and information technology (also called LO-Linux). A special asset of this kind of school is the objective of using Open source programmes.

Carrying out the idea of open school, it was decided to make it possible for handicapped students to continue learning at the level of middle school. At this point there was created the Lyceum with integration classes. It is the only school of this kind in the county. In order to eliminate architectonical barriers, the building was modernized. From 2001/2002 the students of these classes can use a new part of the building, which was fully prepared for their needs (e.g. a lift for students).

In 2010 the school enlarged its educational facilities with modern and fully equipped workshops for learning cooking and a beautiful sports hall.

At present, there are about 600 students and over 50 teachers in the school. There are 22 classrooms, 8 specialist workshops for learning professions and 3 computer labs, a gym, a sports hall and assembly hall. Moreover, in the school there is a nurse’s office, kitchen, canteen, cafe, hotel and sports field.

An integral part of the school is a pavilion fully prepared for disabled people.

The school is recognized in the county as well as abroad. One of the many reasons for this fact is that we regularly cooperate with schools from abroad in various projects, e.g. Erasmus +.
