Béla Bartók High School (Hungarian: Bartók Béla Líceum; Romanian; Moldavian; Moldovan: Liceul Teoretic Bartók Béla) is a Hungarian-language high school located at 11A General Ion Dragalina Boulevard, Timișoara, Romania.

History

The building of the current high school was designed in 1932 by architect [3] as a confessional school of the Roman Catholic church in Iosefin. After the education reform of 1948, the building was expropriated, and a Hungarian-language county education center was established in the building, which was abolished in 1956. It was not until 1971 that it was reconstituted as a high school of mathematics and physics in Hungarian. In the 1980s the communists tried to eliminate the national specificity by introducing the Romanian classes. After 1990 it became a theoretical high school and was given the name Béla Bartók, after Sânnicolau Mare-born composer and pianist.[4]

As of 2021–2022, the institution includes three kindergarten groups, 10 primary school classes, 8 middle school classes and 12 high school classes, totaling 626 students.[5] The high school classes have four accredited specializations:
