The Unitarian high school has more than 800 pupils coming from all parts of Transylvania regardless of confession or background. Its foundation is closely connected to the establishment of the Transylvanian Principality and the Reformation. In 1556 and then in 1557 the nobility asked Isabella – who was governing Transylvania as a ward of her infant son, John Sigismund – to establish schools in the abandoned monasteries. We are the oldest surviving institution of education in Kolozsvár and has been the stronghold of Unitarianism for over four centuries. As for many centuries, our school provide opportunities for every student keen on learning,regardless of confession or background. 

Among others our purpose is to be appreciated by pupils, parents and members of our society for providing effective activities inside and outside of our school, for our results and for being tolerant and open and for promoting democratic European values. We put great accent on living a human life, accepting each other`s beliefs, differences and tolerate one another. Religious variety manifests itself at classroom level but we are open towards other religious groups as well and invite them to our events. 

Our school is really interested into giving opportunities to students to discover themselves as european citizens by meeting other your europeans , travelling and discovering new cultures. We have many partnership with other schools in order to open teachers and students’ mind to Europe and intercultural exchanges :

 – As a member of the European School Network, we have relations with 25 schools accross Europe.

– We also have relationship with other schools beyond this network. we are taking part in twinsystem with highschools in Hungary, Finland, and many more minority schools in Transylvania.
