The period of pre-school and junior school age is fundamental for the entire future of children. Arrival at nursery school and, later, at elementary school is a period of expectation for children; they literally soak up all inputs and information. If they receive support and motivation, they are enthusiastic and want to learn. In our school and nursery school, we are interested in children, and we therefore consider a friendly and non-directive approach to each individual as important, for we are convinced that learning can be effective only in a secure environment, based on trust and good relations.
In our school and nursery school, teachers are partners for children, guides on the path of education; their daily goal is not to pass on a maximum of information, but to awaken interest in a child, to motivate them towards searching, exploring, thinking, and thus towards learning.
At this age the attitude children set towards school, or more precisely learning, is one which will accompany them in the years to come. There is no doubt that they will learn also in the future, and it is necessary that they consider learning – even from this tender age – to be something that makes sense, which brings joy and delight, but also something where obstacles have to be overcome, which will require hard work and perseverence.
When working with children, we also place importance on the social skills of our pupils and the values they uphold, which is why we lead children towards cooperation, partnership, mutual communication, willingness to help, an interest in the surrounding world and towards a respectful attitude towards others and towards expecting respect towards themselves.
The system of teaching and preparation at our school allows our graduates smooth and successful adaptation to study requirements at multi-annual grammar schools.
At the same time, we offer the possibility to continue to the second degree of elementary school for 5th grade pupils of our school and for students interested in a transfer after finishing the first degree of elementary school.
