Description
We are alternative democratic school in a surrounding neighborhood of Sofia, close to the nature. The school is established in 2014 as a community project by group of parents, teachers and educators.
We practice self-directed learning, respect for the uniqueness of each individual, their right of free choice and the responsibility with it. We understand learning as a natural driven process for each human. And in our educational space kids from 5 to 16 go at their own pace.
As the kids in our school grow free, discover trough play, art, interaction between themselves and with adults, their natural curiosity lead them to learn from everything all the time. That is why we value so much diversity And the presence of people from different cultures enriches our experiences and adds to the colorful environment in our daily life with the children.Types of help and learning opportunities
