The beginnings of today's Biotehniška šola (Biotechnical Schoo)l go back to the year 1968 when Kmetijska šola
Gorica (The Agricultural School Gorica) was founded. However, the history of agricultural schools in the Goriška
region is much longer. It goes back to the year 1869 with the foundation of the first agricultural school in Gorica
where students were taught in Slovenian.
Our first location was in Kromberk, but the school building there soon became too small. In the school year 1981/82
we became a part of the so called Naravoslovni srednješolski center Nova Gorica, which consisted of gimnazija
(Grammar School), zdravstvena šola (School for Nurses) and kmetijska šola (Agricultural school). From the year 2001
we have been located in our new building in Šempeter pri Gorici.Today, the Biotehniška šola (Biotechnical school) in
Šempeter is a unit of the Šolski Center Nova Gorica. It offers the courses of:
• agriculture,
• horticulture,
• environmentalism
• nutrition,
• catering and
• pastry-making.
Our school organizes many activities for its secondary school students, for its students of Higher school as well
as for its adult course participants.We aspire to constant improvements, we participate in projects together with
partners and, together, we create the future. The school building is new and modernly equipped. Besides classic
classrooms, there are also laboratories, a training kitchen and pastry kitchen, a computer lab, a florist workshop,
a gym, a kitchen and cafeteria.
The school estate covers the area of 19 ha. The students acquire practical knowledge in the vineyard with several
grape varieties, in the collection orchard, in the olive grove, in the cereal and vegetable fields, in the greenhouses,
in the modernly equipped wine cellar and in the garage with a lot of farming machinery. There is also a pasture,
a gardening station and an aspiary.To sum up, we are a kind and successful school.
