Our school is known in the whole country. The students are aware that ESZI is one of the best secondary schools in Hungary, considering the results of competitions in different subjects. They are sure to get high-quality training in vocational subjects and in languages.

When the school opened there were only some faculties. (For example: mechanic-engineering) In the last years our school has kept up with the times and this year we have started new faculties meeting the requirements of the EU. Informatics is very important, because it is required everywhere. The favourite major of the girls is administration executive Our environment protection is unique in the country.

Our school has one of the best students’ hostels in the country. There are common rooms which make living more comfortable. The students hostel has the following facilities: biliard table, soccer tables, computer room, studio, gymnasium

Eszi students’ rights are protected by the Student Goverment (DÖK), whose members are elected by the students from among themselves. DÖK’s task is to organise all kinds of activities and events, and to facilitate good communications between the students and the teachers. DÖK’s members are elected at the beginning of each academic year, that is in September.

ESZI has the biggest sports hall in Paks. It provides place for many sport events, the international and Hungarian judo competitions are organized here. It has a big field outside, which is suitable for organizing athletic competitions. In the sports hall there are opportunities to play football, basketball and volleyball. Not only sport events are organized in the hall, but there are annual New-Years-Eve-balls and balls for enterpreneurs etc. Every year the „freshmen-party” of the school is held there.

When our school was opened, a swimming pool was built not far from it. As Paks is near the Danube, it is necessary that students should swim. Swimming is taught at our school even nowadays. Students can go to the swimming pool whenever they want and they have swimming lessons every second week.

The atmosphere of the school is very good, teaching is done in young spirit. Teachers and students respect each other. As you can see from the results of the statistics on successful entrance exams our school has a very distinguished place, which is due to the good performance of the students and teachers, too.
