History

The school was founded, in the second half of the 16th century (around 1557), initially as a lower school (current language school in general) as a subsidiary of the University of Debrecen.[1] Even if it was occasionally degraded, it always operated, as a general school (lower secondary school), or as a high school, ending with the baccalaureate. The community always took care of the school, because of the interests served.[1]

The school has 24 high school classes and 4 secondary school classes. There are 2 physics laboratories, 4 science laboratories, offices of the Romanian and Hungarian languages, biology, chemistry, history, and geography laboratories and a large sports hall that is well endowed with volleyball, handball, basketball and football courts.[1] The college has three main specialisations: mathematics and science, natural science, social science and philology in both normal and foreign language classes.[1]

The college is accredited for ECDL courses, providing students and conditions for staff members to obtain the European Computer Driving Licence.[1]
