Hermann Oberth, the physicist from Sibiu and a pioneer in rocket science, inspired the school's founding and spirit. We aim to help students' parents shape responsible, creative, fair, tolerant, open-minded, involved, inclusive, generous and dignified individuals who will contribute to a constantly evolving global society.
