The "Grigore Moisil" Theoretical High School was founded in 1971, with the name of High School for Automatic Data Processing. At its beginnings, the educational establishment was modestly equipped, with simple electronic equipment, consisting of desktop computers. Until 1978, students were taught on the computer in the Computer Centre. In 1978 the school was equipped with a Felix C256 computer, which was transferred from the Computer Centre and worked on until 1984. Throughout this period the school was under the direct coordination of the Central Institute of Computer Science (ICI) in Bucharest. After 1985, following the abolition of the ICI, the high school came under the coordination of the Electrotechnical Industry, which introduced classes and laboratories of electrotechnics, operating until the end of 1989. From 1990 all the electrical engineering classes were abolished and the school returned to computer science classes, changing its name to "Liceul de Informatica" (High School of Computer Science), and later, from 1992, it became known as "Grigore Moisil" High School, in honour of the great Romanian mathematician.
In 2011 the high school merged with the Secondary School No. 22, keeping the title of "Grigore Moisil" High School. Since the autumn of 2012 the school unit has been called "Grigore Moisil" High School.
The gymnasium building, located next to the imposing Roman Catholic church building in Balcescu Square (formerly Lahovary), has its first records in the period 1861-1863, when the 6th Primary School for Boys was located on this site. The modern history of the school begins in 1973, with the inauguration of the current educational institution on the site of the old 19th century school.
Throughout its history, the high school has trained students in computer science. Nowadays it operates in real profile with mathematics-computing classes. It has a material base consisting of classrooms, laboratories for computer science, physics, chemistry, etc. It is currently the only school of its kind in the municipality and the county with all classes of high school with a real profile, specializing in mathematics-computing and intensive computer science.
Grigore Moisil High School is an institution appreciated for the high level of preparation of its students, which is reflected in numerous awards obtained in competitions and Olympiads.
