Our principles

The educational process in our school is based on the Christian worldview with its harmonious balance of mental and practical activities. A modern school, in addition to providing a high-quality education, should foster positive human relationships to create and maintain an environment that is favorable for creativity. This is the natural right of every student, family, and teacher.

Our Curriculum

The curriculum with elements of the classical school is a modern innovative education system that is based on the best, time-tested pedagogical traditions. Spiritual and moral education of children is combined with natural science and humanities education. We believe that a harmonious combination of traditional values and innovative technological processes as complementary aspects of social development is the key to a child’s comprehensive development.

In addition to the core subjects, God’s Law, English, and Estonian will be taught.

The proper educational system

• develops a holistic worldview based on traditional cultural values
• focuses on deep spirituality
• is based on moral and family values
• forms a positive creative perception and worldview
• sets a life-affirming vector of child development

The principle of conformity to nature gives maximum attention to the psychological, developmental, and age-related characteristics of the child. The curriculum structured in accordance with this principle ensures that the child is capable of understanding everything that he is taught at school. With this approach, there is no need for parents to constantly help with homework.
Nature-conforming pedagogy is characterized by the following:

• based on child’s life experience
• takes into account the specificities of child’s perception at each age stage (visual and concrete thinking, ability to generalize and abstract)
• clear task formulation, appropriate for the nature of child’s perception
• systematic presentation of the material (new knowledge builds upon what has been taught before, reviewing and expanding it)
• gradual complication (each methodical step toward mastering new material ensures complete understanding and maximum awareness)
• ensuring that children are able to complete homework tasks independently

Children who are taught according to the principle of conformity to nature are not only able but also happy to learn; they naturally develop the “learning is easy and joyful” motivation and are able to complete all homework tasks independently.
