We believe that each child possesses unique talents and gifts. Children are by nature curious and exploring and, hence, are inclined to learn organically. at the heart of our philosophy is the conviction that we have an opportunity and responsibility to help children become happy, successful, lifelong learners. Our programs provide children with hands-on learning experiences because children learn best when they are actively involved in the learning process. Additionally, we try to create a comfortable, family-like aura in the school that would make childrens morning arrival at school a much wanted event. Our curricular emphasis is organized around creating, building, exploring and actively growing knowledge. Our programs are presented in a fun and interesting manner which invites children to immerse themselves in all the activities. Our methods, from developmental basics to beginning reading, writing and mathematics reflect an age-appropriate and natural style furthering the development of positive attitudes toward learning. In doing so, we build on elements of Russian educational tradition and culture, actively incorporating methods by Nikolay Zaytzev in early child development. at the same time we adjust our programs to be genuinely bicultural and better reflect American educational realities by incorporating standards of Core Knowledge in our process. We place a strong emphasis on learning to think critically and creatively, to work cooperatively, and solve problems. We believe that effective teaching capitalizes on the childs natural motivation to explore, experiment, and to make sense of his or her world. Basic human values such as honesty, respect, forgiveness and wisdom, are encouraged to develop; so that children love themselves, love each other and the world around them, and have the strength of character to make morally sound decisions. The ultimate goal is to develop a positive attitude towards learning in each child and make the process of constant learning an organic part of his or her life.
