Located in Sector 1, at 34 Ardealului Street, in the Bucureștii Noi neighborhood, Școala Gimnazială No. 179 offers primary and lower secondary education for students aged 6 to 14. The school is actively involved in educational and environmental projects and is part of the ECO-SCHOOLS network.
In the past, the school operated on a three-shift schedule, but following investments made by the Sector 1 City Hall, a modular building was added, creating 8 new classrooms and eliminating the need for multiple shifts (zf.ro).
Among the school's modern facilities are:
- Classrooms equipped with projectors, computers, and internet access
- Laboratories for computer science and foreign languages
- A well-stocked library supporting reading and research
- A modern gymnasium with locker rooms and restrooms on each floor
- Medical and dental offices for student health
- A video surveillance system and fire detectors ensuring a safe environment
Additionally, the school features a festivity hall with a capacity of about 60 seats, suitable for meetings, conferences, screenings, debates, as well as small chamber concerts and classical music recitals.
