A year ago, I brought my son for a trial week to see how it would go. We wanted to move from a public school to some kind of small, friendly private school where children are not yelled at, there are not 30 people in the class, etc. 🙈 After the first day, he came and said that it was great there, and now he only wants to study there. 🥹 Our main task was to ensure that studying, especially in elementary school, did not discourage the desire to study, but rather formed an interest in learning, showed that it was not a punishment, but on the contrary very interesting. And it absolutely worked! There is a lot of game format in the lessons, sometimes they play themed board games, and there are a lot of creative tasks that help consolidate the material. There are all kinds of fun lessons like "home alone" where they cook food and generally learn basic independence. There are a lot of experiments and experiments in natural science.. in short, the lessons are interesting for the child! + There are mugs every day. Homework is done at school, which honestly saves our relationship with the child.. An extension until 7 p.m. and a daily walk in the park. My son has only 3 people in his class, but at recess all the children hang out together, he plays with everyone from all classes, so there is enough communication. The school has a courtyard with a campfire, hammocks, and a place to play. In normal weather, they go to the forest, or look at historical monuments, or go uphill nearby. I really like that all the teachers are super kind and calm, I don't worry that they will yell at my son or say something offensive to him. Communication with the school is prompt, you can talk to any teacher, even if you come and watch the lesson. Kilograms of textbooks are not guests every day! Everyone's at school. I only have a lunchbox with me On the downside, what you need to be prepared for: a lot of freedom for children = a lot of dirty clothes 😅 The school does not have accreditation, but they help with certification through schools in Russia. It just costs money. In short, we are just happy. Perhaps this format is not suitable for everyone, but it's just come to us, so far there are only advantages.

It's so humanly warm in this school that I want to stay there (as a parent). And I often satisfy this desire. You can just be friends with the teachers of this school, you can just participate in the activities of the school. So this school is not only for children, but parents can also use it as an inexpensive leisure center for themselves. For me, the most important thing is that the child enjoys school. Our son had never wanted to go to kindergartens before (we had several different ones, and he got up in the morning and said that I wouldn't go, and it took a long time to convince him), but he wanted to go to this school so much that even when I woke him up late, we gathered with him like Sonics to make it to the first lesson. After about six months at school, we started speaking English from scratch (no, I didn't learn the language with him, he was just able to communicate with us in it).

I love this school, the staff and the whole teaching staff. Children receive a comprehensive education, and do not sit 24 by 7 at their desks. I really like the off-site days of traveling in Georgia. History lessons immediately based on examples or excavations
