The word "school" can evoke a wide variety of associations and feelings in each person. For example, a parent who will soon enroll a child in first grade may have confusion and uncertainty. And for someone who has already raised a teenager, whose interests in learning have long subsided, the feelings are even worse. It is not easy for each of these people to find the optimal solution that both the baby will like and satisfy their personal views. But, despite these difficulties, there is a solution - a boarding school. These boarding houses are very popular these days. Moreover, among the most diverse parents. And all for what? For the reason that the boarding school embodies into reality those "dreams" that cannot be realized in any public school.

Secondly, the boarding school will provide serious care for the child and his leisure time. This includes a lot of various excursions, trips, hikes, cultural institutions like theaters, as well as sections of music, martial arts, swimming, etc. And the last thing.

All children are different and this is a fact. Most do not stand out for special abilities, they have good school performance, they like to walk, play sports and do everything that brings pleasure to ordinary children. And there is another category - children with special abilities. Gifted children can have absolutely different areas human activity... It has long been recognized that giftedness is shaped by two qualities in a child: heredity and the environment, which in one way or another contributes to the development of the child. Also, scientists have determined that giftedness for music manifests itself first of all, later a child gifted for art seeks to express himself, and later geniuses of science manifest themselves. Prodigies in regular school Prodigies are often no different from ordinary children, but they are very curious and like to ask a lot of questions. Often adults or teachers simply cannot cope with the flow of information that gifted children want from them, and as a result, little geniuses begin to suffer from a lack of information that they can and want to assimilate. It often happens that child prodigies in ordinary schools become objects of persecution of classmates, since it's no secret that in average schools the team is quite motley and not everyone wants to study. Moreover, classmates always disdain a child who wants to know everything. The big disadvantage [...]

In Moscow's Orthodox schools, high quality education is combined with spiritual and moral values. This is reflected not only in the obligatory rituals: morning prayer, visiting Temples, participating in the Liturgy, observing fasting, pilgrimage trips, etc., but also in the teaching methods of some general subjects (history, biology, and literature). Thus, Darwin's theory is taught precisely as a theory. In addition to general education disciplines, pupils of church schools study Orthodox culture and Church Slavonic, the Law of God. As in all private schools, all the conditions for comfortable learning and recreation have been created in the institutions under consideration: small classes, up to 15 people, ergonomic furniture, modern material and technical equipment, experienced and talented teachers. The virtues of teaching in church schools Proper education. In church schools, children strive to learn. This is facilitated by a special atmosphere, the attitude of teachers, an individual approach. In regular schools, children form other priorities: expensive electronics, fashion clothes, entertainment. The guys are spared from negative outside influences. Children tend to copy the behavior of adults. Taking into account the blurred boundaries of moral and ethical principles in modern society, the lack of proper upbringing in ordinary schools, this tendency leads to big problems: teenagers begin to do what is considered a sin for an Orthodox person. Children of believing parents are much more comfortable being surrounded by like-minded people. Currently, there are two main types of church schools: parish and missionary. The first are opened by the parishes of the Russian Orthodox Church. Enroll in […]
