School history:
Our school was founded as a domestic science school more than 80 years ago and was expanded by what is now known as the Secondary College/School of Occupations in the Service Industries and Management in 1976. It is now a business college constantly adapting to new developments on the labour market. Apart from a profound knowledge of general things our students get special training in business subjects which makes them fit for their later professional lives.
