Liceul Pedagogic „Dimitrie Țichindeal” din Arad, Historic teaching college in Arad, Romania.
The Liceul Pedagogic Dimitrie Țichindeal occupies a substantial building on Boulevard General Dragalina in Arad, displaying traditional Romanian architectural design and educational spaces. The school currently offers specialized programs in philology and mathematics for students pursuing teaching careers.
The school was founded in 1812 as Preparandia and was the first educational institution offering instruction in the Romanian language in Transylvania. It emerged as a response to cultural assimilation pressures in the region.
The school maintains its original mission of training teachers and educators, contributing to the development of Romanian education in the region since its foundation.
The building sits on a main boulevard and is easily accessible on foot from the city center. Visitors can view the exterior of the school building and observe its 19th-century architectural style.
The school's founding director Dimitrie Țichindeal documented the institution's establishment in his 1813 publication 'Aratare', which offers rare insights into early Romanian education. This work remains an important historical source for understanding Transylvanian educational history.
