Schools on New Riga and Rublevo-Uspenskoye Highway. Primary education our school - Can you ask the teachers about your child’s progress?

In September 2016, the director of Moscow School No. 57 wrote a letter of resignation from the school. In 2016, part of the staff of the Fifty-seventh school: director of the Fifty-seventh Sergei Lvovich Mendelevich, deputy. Primary school director Ekaterina Vladimirovna Vishnevetskaya, the administration and teachers united and created their own school in the Odintsovo district, Our School.

The peculiarity of Our school is its unusual format and tasks.

Admission to the school is carried out on a competitive basis after children pass an interview with a psychologist and teacher.

From the 1st grade, the program is built around design and research activities. The school conducts additional classes aimed at the comprehensive development of the child (Science Club, Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, The World Around us, Practical Philosophy, Interactive Reading, Chess, Lego Construction, etc.). The school curriculum provides for the study of English from 1st grade.

“It was not by chance that we chose this format - a school from 1st to 6th grade,” says Sergei Lvovich Mendelevich. Let's take a look at the best schools in Moscow and the Moscow region. They all announce competitive enrollment in specialized or pre-profile seventh grades. It is after the sixth grade that the possibilities for choosing the most suitable school with pre-professional and specialized training expand. The one that guarantees an excellent education and admission to the best universities. So, our task is to prepare for the competitive test. We do not want to target students to go to a particular school. The family and student will be able to make a choice with our help, and we will draw up a plan for individual lessons, select teachers, help and support.

We believe that the result of studying at Our school is admission to a specialized class that matches the interests of the child, to a large school with all the opportunities to continue education. Thus, we set ourselves a very difficult and ambitious task - to transfer our students after the sixth grade into the hands of the best teachers in Moscow and the Moscow region. A modern high school is a huge complex that provides students with a choice of a wide variety of courses, classes, individual and group projects. More and more such complexes are being created. Our school will work to fill them with inquisitive, healthy, hardworking and knowledgeable Students.”

"We are a team of like-minded people"

We worked together for many years, heading the 57th school in Moscow, one of the best schools in Russia

Why do you need to enroll in the Children's Center at Our school?

The preschool level of our school is represented by two departments: “Toy library” (from 5 years old) and “Preparation room” (from 5.5 years old). School preparation classes are held from October to April, 3 times a week, in the morning and afternoon. Studying in groups meets the highest academic standards and provides the level of pre-school preparation for entry into any school. Before enrolling in the children's center at Our school, we recommend coming to trial lessons. Duration of classes is 3 hours (lessons of 30 minutes and breaks). The presenters are teachers and child psychologists with experience in the 57th. Students who successfully complete the "Preparation" can be transferred to the first grade of Our school.

School 57 is now also in a private version, on Rublyovka... You are always happy when you learn about another alternative school. But is this an alternative?

School 57, if anyone doesn’t know, is number one in the official rankings of the best schools in Moscow. There are the maximum number of children of all sorts of influential and famous persons. At least, this was the case BEFORE the famous scandal. I’m not interested in the scandal; I mention it only because after it some of the teachers split off and formed “Our School” - that’s what they called themselves.

I read a lot of descriptions of newly founded schools. But this, of course, was the most “modest”: “Education at Our school meets the highest academic standards. It is important that all our students are prepared to learn at a certain level.”

Read: selected children. The essence of the public success of the 57th school is concentrated in this pathetic phrase. There will definitely not be any hyperactive children or children with special needs. Or those who did not fit into the classroom system. Why spoil the statistics?

The school is designed for students in grades 1-6. What then?

“We set ourselves a very difficult and ambitious task - to transfer our students after the sixth grade into the hands of the best teachers in Moscow and the Moscow region.” The best, mind you. And the “best schools” also appear there. Of course, what else!

I wonder which schools they consider “best.” Top rated? And where will students take certifications, because it is clear that they do not have any accreditation. And how many will there be who want to pay them...

And here, by the way, is information about the price: “we believe that the cost of education in primary school will not exceed 60,000 rubles. per month." Taken from herehttp://www.xn--57-6kcaa3dhmm1hb.xn--p1ai/

Really, why waste time on trifles? Rublyovka.

In general, this is not an alternative. And not even because of the cost. It’s just that regular private schools are not an alternative at all. Everything there is exactly the same as in the state, just small classes. Here, too, the same pathos - only for money.

I had my own experience of communicating with the 57th, at a parent meeting at this school, when two 5th graders were recruited there - through a competition. We immediately felt that the school was prestigious. More than a hundred people signed up for the paid club, where they taught basic school subjects, in 4 days. And these, believe me, were children who attended school every day, and not like my daughter and her friends - from time to time. Arriving at the place, we once again appreciated the popularity of this school: the line of parents and children began long before the entrance. We were separated at the entrance. The children went to their classes, and we went to the parent meeting.

We were told that the school building was acquired recently and with the encumbrance of a certain number of students and teachers. And in order to fill it and recruit additional classes, the administration holds this same circle for three years in a row. To get into 5th grade, you do not have to attend the club. Its creation serves other purposes.

I asked what exactly these goals were. “Well, first of all, make money. And secondly, to give the children the opportunity to learn something new and interesting.”

Well, what can I say, first of all, honestly. Secondly, regarding something new and interesting, it somehow didn’t work out. The children said that they were so bored as they had never been in literature before. In mathematics they were tested by giving everyone simple problems and limiting the time to complete them. They really liked biology. But not enough, they said, to endure the other three lessons for her sake.

And I also remember that the parents behaved like children at the meeting:

— Can I ask the teachers about the child’s progress?

I.M. Chapkovsky told me about this amazing metamorphosis of parents: “When mother enters school, it’s as if a school apron appears on her and she begins to behave like a student.” Well, really, who can stop you from asking the teacher about your child’s progress? Go and find out! But no, you have to ask permission first. And hear in response: “Yes, I know all these questions of yours: where is my Vasenka? I’ll answer you right away, we don’t have a hippodrome here and we don’t assign places to children.”

And the answer seems to be correct, the disdain in it is clearly provoked by the questioner himself... Oh, this is a feeling I have already forgotten - when they show you that they don’t really value you here. No, it’s even nice that everything is completely honest. There are so many people willing, but you have to weed someone out. Some parents (apparently like me) drop out immediately - they feel somehow uneasy. Probably, I’m still too spoiled by home and family schools. Those who cannot boast of 100% admission to universities and do not have as many winners of various Olympiads.

Another “childish” question:

— How is your school different from others?

The man clearly knew what. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought my half-asleep child here on a weekend at 10 o’clock in the morning.

Attention, answer:

“It’s prestigious to study at our school, and it’s prestigious to teach there.”

No, I really like open play! I just have a feeling that people are not hearing the answers.

And I asked an indecent question. I know very well that state schools are a place where adults do not care about the needs of children, including the most basic, physiological ones. Of course, in the famous 57th this issue has probably been resolved, but... four hours of classes is still a long time:

— Is this where the children will be told where the toilet is and where to drink some water?

Yes, of course, they answered me.

The first thing I heard from the children when I came to pick them up, from three of them at once, was questions about the toilet and water.

In general, the children did not like it.

By the way, there was a parent at the meeting who asked:

- What to do if the child doesn’t like it?

Read: how can you still make him eat your cactus?!

I am attaching a document - this is correspondence in a notebook on so-called literature. This is what the children felt during lessons. I’m not very legible, so I’ll decipher it: “I want to sleep. Yes. I would like to get away from here. I'm hungry. We will die here. I'd rather leave. And we have 4 more lessons. This is terrible. Not like that, that's how they draw him. In short, it's terrible. Boring. Hungry. I order a taxi: “Hello, quickly take us away from here.” I'm about to explode."

Dear parents!

We are pleased to present to you Our school - a project of like-minded people. We have put everything we know about the primary stage of education into the concept of our school. The leaders and teachers of our school already have experience in creating one of the best schools in Russia (the Fifty-seventh School). We use our work experience and knowledge for Our school.

The school will grow with the children: every year the next class will be added, and this will continue until the 6th grade. Gradually, together with students and parents, we will build our common world of knowledge and interesting life.

Our school won't be big. The maximum number of students will be 90 people. A separate building with an area of 1100 sq.m., a dining room, an assembly and sports hall, fully equipped classrooms, recreational space, a separate area with a mini-football field and sports and gaming facilities will allow everyone to find something to their liking. Finally, our pride is a small field laboratory for studying the surrounding world and conducting experiments under the leadership of Sergei Lvovich Mendelevich, the founder and scientific director of our school.

About values

Here's what we plan to focus on:

1. Learning is only through understanding.

2. Reading is a path to knowledge, pleasure and entertainment.

3. Learning foreign languages is a means of communication with the world, a path to understanding cultures.

4. Maintaining curiosity - through exploring the world around us.

5. Physical education and movement are the path to health and successful studies.

6. Each child is talented in his own field: we value and develop talent.

7. Mutual respect.

We have built a primary school curriculum on these values, which will enable students to learn with interest, develop curiosity and scientific thinking from the first days of school.

About tasks

What pragmatic tasks do we set for ourselves? What should the achievements be?

It was not by chance that we chose this format – a school from 1st to 6th grade.

Let's take a look at the best schools in Moscow and the Moscow region.

They all announce competitive enrollment in specialized or pre-profile seventh grades.

It is after the sixth grade that the possibilities for choosing the most suitable school with pre-professional and specialized training expand. The one that guarantees an excellent education and admission to the best universities.

So, our task is to prepare for the competitive test. We do not want to target students to go to a particular school. The family and student will be able to make a choice with our help, and we will draw up a plan for individual lessons, select teachers, help and support.

We believe that the result of studying at our school is admission to a specialized class that matches the interests of the child, to a large school with all the opportunities to continue education.

Thus, we set ourselves a very difficult and ambitious task - to transfer our students after the sixth grade into the hands of the best teachers in Moscow and the Moscow region.

A modern high school is a huge complex that provides students with a choice of a wide variety of courses, classes, individual and group projects.

More and more such complexes are being created. Our school will work to fill them with curious, healthy, hardworking and knowledgeable Students.

Oddly enough, we have no ambitions to create something huge. Each age has its own format. Our small school will help students enter a great and successful educational path. Save effort and time - all classes in one place. Experienced teachers, a clear understanding of the tasks at each stage of learning.

We are a team of like-minded people. We worked together for many years, heading the 57th school in Moscow, one of the best schools in Russia.

Sergei Lvovich Mendelevich is the scientific director of the school.

I would say about the main directions: mathematics and logic, ecology and natural science. A child's first six years of school determine whether he or she will be interested in science. If these years have passed over standard textbooks, if it has not been possible to interest people in nature, technology, space or economics (the list goes on) - one can only hope for a miracle. An interest in solving problems and discovering and understanding the world around us is the most important thing we have to teach. For this to happen, the tasks must be interesting, and there must be people nearby who are interested in telling and showing everything around

Ekaterina Vladimirovna Vishnevetskaya is a school methodologist.

“I have been in charge of a primary school for 24 years, and for the last 10 years I have also been in charge of grades 5 and 6. In our school, I want to organize work in such a way that the class-lesson system of teaching is not the only form.

I want, together with teachers, to do what cannot be done in a public school with a class size of more than 25 people - to give each student the opportunity to achieve results in their own way.

Maximum choice – from the very beginning.

Project activities are my main interest in organizing children’s work.”

Elena Alekseevna Mendelevich – administrator of the educational process.

“The school must work clearly and harmoniously. Every little thing matters. Order inside an educational institution is very important. The smaller the children, the safer and more organized the environment around them should be. Education, respect for others and elders.”

“The statement of teacher V.A. Sukhomlinsky reflects my view on education: Children should live in a world of beauty, games, fairy tales, music, drawing, fantasy, creativity. This world should surround the child even when we want to teach him to read and write. Yes, how a child will feel when climbing the first step of the ladder of knowledge, what he will experience, will determine his entire future path to knowledge.

When you think about a child’s brain, you imagine a delicate rose flower with a drop of dew trembling on it. What care and tenderness are needed so that when you pick a flower, you don’t let a drop drop.”

And I think the most important advantage of our lessons is that children learn to think!”

The process brings joy to both the teacher and the students. Thanks to this work, students develop observation skills, the ability to work with text, learn to transform visual information into written information, analyze, construct thoughts, learn to speak and formulate, weed out the unnecessary and highlight the most important, work in a team, and broaden their horizons.
