The Kranj School Centre was formed by the merge of Technical School Centre Kranj and The Economy and Service School Centre of Kranj, while the former High School of Economics came out as a separate school. Thus The School Centre continues and combines the rich tradition of secondary education schools of Kranj, which began after the Second World War.

In all units, educational work takes place in modern lecture halls, classrooms, laboratories and workshops. All employees are committed to act in the spirit of user-friendly educational institutions. The School Centre has signed agreements with more than 300 companies and organizations where pupils and students can perform practical training. Throughout history, adult education has been carried out in parallel with the regular education of young students. Content and programs have been bound to the programs of regular education and skills needed in the companies of the region.

SECONDARY TECHNICAL SCHOOL

This school educates for the future in the field of electrical engineering, computer science and mechatronics in the following educational programs:

• 3-year program: Computer Operator, Electrician, Mechatronics Operator
• 3 +2-year program: Website Programmer, Information Technology Administrator Electrical Technician, Mechatronics Technician
• 4-year program: Website Programmer, Information Technology Administrator Electrical Technician, Mechatronics Technician and
• 1-year professional course: professional computer technician course. 

Educational programs at our school are based on classes with cross-curricular integration of general and professional content in renovated educational programs that bring modern knowledge and quality relationships. This is particularly evident during the project week, when students and teachers create a team in specific learning situations that are at the end presented to the parents.

The Ministry of Education, Science and Sport has provided 20 % of the educational program to be set by the school, the so called Open curriculum. By focusing on professional modules that are tied to the needs of the economy of our region, we have set up a very high quality program together with representatives of business, entrepreneurship, and economic and social organizations in the region. That gives students skills that enable them a successful study, and provides employers lifelong learning employees with different skills, knowledge and aptitudes.

A very important part of the educational program is practical training in working with employers; the best students carry it out abroad through the Leonardo da Vinci mobility project.

In the school year 2013/14 we have set up a sports division, which educates technicians in all three programs. Students athletes in this way can remain top athletes and at the same time become top experts in the professions of the future which will enable them to find a relevant job after their sports career has been completed.

We try to encourage our students to continue to develop in our country (National School Basketball League, school impro league, MEPI, robotics, music, sports, photography, languages, art creation, research ...). We also participate in humanitarian activities. The most deserving students are each year taken to the so-called Robot trip. Students are provided with high quality work even outside of school, so we can offer them the status of athletes, researchers and cultural workers which facilitates student work in school and beyond.

We welcome students who are hardworking, interested in their profession and know what they want. In this way they will become successful and satisfied students with new knowledge and skills for a friendly and prosperous future.

We look forward to the challenges together with students
