enhancing the process of independent thinking and creative way of absorbing
knowledge. According to the needs of our students as well as their parents we
enable the possibility of study on different levels of education. We have
worked out a lot of interesting traditions creating a unique atmosphere of the
place. Simultaniously, we make use of every single possibility to leave for
educational, sight-seeing and recreational purposes. After lessons we give
a chance to develope personal interests and abilities in activity clubs such
as drama, music, art, computers.
Thinking not only about our students but also about their parents we try
to support them in the complex process of bringing up their children .
A good example of that is Parents’ Club established as a result of current
needs.
