Saint Sava National College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Saint Sava National College (Colegiul Naţional Sfântul Sava) is the oldest and one of the most prestigious high schools in Bucharest, Romania.
It is the direct descendant of the Princely Academy of Saint Sava, which was divided in 1864 by Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza into the University of Bucharest and the present high school. During the Communist era, the College's name was changed to Nicolae Bălcescu High School.
