High School for Computer Technologies and System

Computer School in the town of Pravets, affiliated with the Technical University of Sofia, was established in 1986. Over 1600 computer technology experts have graduated from the school since then and have gone on to successful careers both in Bulgaria and abroad.

Students apply to the school after finishing the 7th grade. To be admitted, they must first pass an admission test in mathematics at the Technical University of Sofia.

The course of education lasts six years. After finishing the 12th grade and presenting a diploma project on software programming or hardware maintenance for today’s microcomputers, students are given a high school diploma and a Second Degree of Professional Qualification certificate in micro-processing technology. A Third Degree certificate is obtained after finishing the 13th grade.

The curriculum includes all comprehensive subjects according to governmental requirements set by the Ministry of Education and Science.

Intensive English is studied at the school, and students take 960 classes throughout their course of study. A second foreign language is obligatory. Languages offered are German, Russian, and French.

Education in 14 specialized subjects is provided by visiting professors from the faculty of Computer Systems and Management from the Sofia Technical University. Lecturing and laboratory training in each subject provide a sound basis both in electronics and programming. Thus are obtained valuable skills in note-taking and active knowledge of the subjects.

Various sports facilities and qualified Physical Education teachers in different sports make it possible for students to choose activities based upon their own personal interests. They can choose among soccer, basketball, volleyball, hiking, rowing and aerobics, enhancing their physical fitness. The Computer School teams have been successful in high school competitions organized by the Ministry of Education and Science as well as international regattas.

The Microprocessing Technological School is located on a campus of about 60000 square meters in the town of Pravets, 60 kilometers east of the capital city of Sofia. The mild climate, the majestic Balkan Mountains and the appealing lake make it a perfectly balanced place for a school campus.

The technical, social and sports facilities are excellently maintained with the financial assistance of the Sofia Technical University, providing education and accommodation for more than 565 students. The school has 45 rooms, among which are three lecture halls, two language rooms, four computer laboratories, six technical laboratories, and a media center with a great number of Bulgarian and foreign fiction and specialized literature, as well as Internet access.

The school campus also has two dormitories and a canteen for 500 students. The rooms are well-furnished and central heating and hot water are provided. Cable television and Internet access are also available. The school canteen provides breakfast, lunch and dinner, depending on students’ preference, and canteen accounts are computerized.

Students come to the Microprocessing Technological School from all over the country to participate in an atmosphere of honesty, creativity and academic development. They tend to be highly intelligent, talented and ambitious.

Graduates of the school receive preferential consideration upon application to Computer Technology, Communication Technology and Electronics at the Technical University of Sofia. In addition, a great number of students attend other universities in Bulgaria, America and Europe.

We already have experience of participation in the next Comenius projects:
1. “Energy Without Pollution for the Europe of 2000.Reality or Utopia?”
2. “Sharing European Products in the past, present and future.”
3. „The use of IT in everyday teaching“

Our new Comenius project is:
“E-learning and Web2 tools as means of enhancing education outcomes
and establishing transnational cooperation”
