Srednja škola Bol is a secondary school (grammar school and school for the hotel and catering industry) which comprises approximately 130 students (aged 14-18) located in Bol,on the southern coast of the island of Brač, which is located in central Dalmatia near historic town of Split (it takes 50 minutes by ferry to get to Split) and is some 500 kilometres away from the capital city Zagreb.The island's name comes from the Latin word for deer as they were present on the island in the past. Today Bol is world famous for its beautiful pebbly beach Zlatni rat which is a natural phenomenon as it changes the shape according to the position from which the wind is blowing.The island is accessible by plane, ferry, tourist ships, catamarans and in emergency cases helicopter. Our students come from a wide range of social and academic backgrounds and majority of families work in the field of tourism, stone masonry or fishing industry and mostly live in family houses. In our school we teach these languages: English, German, Italian and Latin.
