Description
Our elementary school is a private non-profit Christian school located in the countryside of Latvia in the Bauska district, where children from 7 to 13 years of age learn, some of whom stay at the school in the dormitories for the entire school week.
On the school grounds there is an organic farm with blackcurrant and currant bushes, a large apple orchard and plum trees, a greenhouse where tomatoes and cucumbers are grown. There is also a sheep pen and a pigeon house.
Children are also involved in community life and agricultural activities, learning to grow plants and care for animals.
In addition to agriculture, children are also involved in other activities such as music (percussion instruments, the piano, the guitar, etc.), arts and crafts, and sports activities.
200 m from the school there is a pond with a boardwalk where children and adults swim all year round, even in winter. The school has a flight simulation class with a pilot training cabin and a flight simulator. Children also learn to fly drones. On the school grounds there is a "craft house" where there are craft tables and a kiln where ceramic vessels are fired.
Whatever your denomination, passion and aspirations, we will find ways for you to contribute and express yourself, enriching the lives of everyone here at the school and yourselves.
