Elementary school, primary school

The academic program of primary classes includes gradual, step-by-step mastering of all major academic disciplines (the complexity of studying, as well as the list of subjects, increases every year), as well as compulsory sports and creative electives.

A love for reading and respect for books is actively brought up in students: a library for students is opened every day until dinner, and a special list is recommended for each literature, both educational and artistic.
