Concept
1. The inner world of a child and adolescent is worthy of respect.
2. The teacher must be a person who professes absolute values.
3. Not investing knowledge, not coaching should own the educational process, but a meeting, self-acquisition, and a teacher - only a guide to the world of culture.
4. Education contains not just the sum of majors and general subjects, in it aesthetic, moral and cognitive components are inseparable in a single tree.
5. Orientation to the regions - the principle of decisive internal overcoming the sense of capital monopoly on spiritual production. Small cities of Russia and villages are the object of close attention.
6. Carriers of Slavic culture are united in a holistic society developing on a common basis of values.
The spiritual formation of a person stands, of course, above his purely functional benefit, and the Academy’s pedagogical ministry is aimed at that.
