Spojená škola internátna, Dúbravská cesta 1
Our school provides education for students with intellectual and other disabilities. It consists of four organisational units: a vocational school at Dúbravská cesta 1, and a vocational school, a practical school and a secondary vocational school at Švabinského 7. The campus at Dúbravská cesta also includes a school boarding facility. For many years, we have been working to create an environment where students feel safe, accepted and respected. We rely on a professional and dedicated team of staff who strive to respond to the individual needs of each student. Our ambition is to gradually reach beyond the boundaries of the school and connect our students with the wider community. We aim to create opportunities for them to develop their abilities, gain experience in real-life environments and actively participate in society. We therefore see inclusion not only as a goal, but also as an integral part of our everyday work.

About the organisation
Spojená škola internátna is a public school in Bratislava, Slovakia, providing education and vocational training for young people with intellectual and other disabilities. The school was established in its current form in 2022 through the merger of two specialised schools and currently consists of several organisational units, including vocational schools, a practical school and a secondary vocational school, as well as a boarding facility. We provide both theoretical and practical education and prepare students for employment and greater independence. Our work is based on an individual approach, inclusion, practical learning and support for students with diverse educational needs.
Activities and experience
Our main activities include vocational and practical education, development of work-related and life skills, and preparation of students for employment and independent living. We provide training in a range of vocational fields, including horticulture, confectionery, culinary work, carpentry, bookbinding and graphic production, retail, manicure and pedicure, housekeeping and care services, bakery and traditional crafts. We also organise practical training, educational visits, cultural and community activities and activities supporting students’ social participation. We are interested in developing international cooperation, student and staff mobility, work placements, job shadowing and the exchange of good practices in inclusive vocational education.
