Alexandru Ioan Cuza National College (Focșani)

Alexandru Ioan Cuza National College (Romanian: Colegiul Național "Alexandru Ioan Cuza") is one of the two most important high schools in Focșani, Vrancea County, Romania. It was founded in 1864, after Alexandru Ioan Cuza, the first Domnitor of the United Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia, enacted a Law on Education, establishing tuition-free and compulsory public education for primary schools.

The main building dates to 1930–1931. It is listed as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.[1]
