AUREL
VLAICU
(1882-1913)

Our school bears the name of Aurel Vlaicu, the pioneer of
Romanian aviation and the district of Arad in which the school is
located.
The school celebrated its twenty-seventh anniversary at the
beginning of June 2009. from the outset, we aimed to provide a
multicultural environment offering education in three mother
tongues, viz. Romanian, Hungarian and German. At the moment, the
school has approximately 950 pupils aged 6-14.
For the past twenty-seven years, the school curriculum has
been directed towards meeting the needs of community. One of the
main objectives of the school is the development of pupils’
communication skills. To achieve excellence in communication is a
top of priority for us, especially as we are the only school in the
County of Arad to bring together the three ethnic groups. Further,
we are aware of the importance of communication skills to an
effective European integration, and we have this very much in
designing our information technology programme.
Computers skills is an optional subject within the school
curriculum and includes the editing of the school magazine “PRO
Vlaicu”. The magazine is published quarterly and covers the life of
the school in general, from the thoughts, opinions and achievements
of pupils and staff to their hopes and plans for the future.

Since 1999, the rationale of the school has developed
beyond normal expectations through the use of our 5-year
project called “My school – My life Enviroment”, which ended
in June 2004. The new project – “Aurel Vlaicu” School, Arad
– a living community – was launched in September 2004.
Indeed, the school’s general use of project-based activities
has assured us of a place on various international
programmes and projects. We are currently involved with:
 The charity “Together We Care”, from Kirkby Lonsdale,
England, which started in 1993;
 Universities from Scotland as part of the SCROLL
Programme from 1996;
 Romanian schools from Hungary as part of programme
initiated by our local Inspectorate;
 The “Character First” Programme, from 2002;
 Testvérvárosok Terei Általános Iskola – a school from
Pécs, Hungary from May 2004;
 The Empoigne Association from Rennes, France as part
ot education project called “French Through Songs”,
initiated by AMFIRAN Association;
In planning to achieve the very best academic
standards, the school management team recognizes the
uniqueness of each pupils and will always seek to respond to
individual needs.
