Moscow State Budgetary Educational Institution - Education Center No. 1329 had to go through repeated mergers and consolidations, which in itself has not been easy in the last decades of insufficiently stable. But since 2004, this educational institution has been living and gaining strength, raising many not only strong students, but really talented students. And if you call the most famous schools in the country, school number 1329 will certainly sound. Reviews of its work can be found very different, but the things speak for themselves. The most prestigious Olympiads, the most famous contests were won, and with a huge margin from representatives of other countries. At least, therefore, school No. 1329 may not read reviews of ill-wishers, the main thing is that the work planned should continue, young talents grow and have the power to defend the honor of Russia in the future.
brief information
The grand opening of the new educational institution took place on September 1, 2004, and on this day the mayor himself, Yu. Luzhkov, came here, where he spoke to students, their parents and teachers. The opening of schools in Moscow is not too rare, why did such a holiday happen here?
The fact is that it was Moscow that originally planned to make school No. 1329 different from everyone else, and therefore they were looking forward to its appearance. The building was designed by the four best architects of the capital, and the construction itself went at an accelerated pace and under vigilant control. Its location is also quite advantageous - ZAO, Troparyovo-Nikulino. But one building built on an individual project (it will be described with great pleasure and details below) was not enough.
School number 1329, reviews of which do not cease to amaze with its contrasting characteristics, has incorporated several other educational institutions. First - a combined type of kindergarten No. 1428. Then the kaleidoscope kindergarten of further education. And finally, a rather strong school No. 1308 (with a linguistic bias), which celebrated its opening two years before school No. 1329 was completed.
Reviews in large numbers responded to each of these events. Some did not like the replacement of part of the teaching staff of the previous institutions, while others did not like the new order, but there were still much more optimistic responses. There were no branches at the school, just there were more buildings, but the main building remained the same building at 10 Nikulinskaya Street.
Profile classes
Since 2015, Education Center No. 1329 has been participating in the Medical Class project, which unites sixty-three schools in Moscow, and is supervised by specialists from the Department of Education, Methodological Center and Sechenov Russian State Medical University. The project is interesting in that from the eighth grade to the very graduation from school, specialized medical classes study in depth chemistry, biology, Russian and a foreign language. In the tenth grade, each student in the class is supposed to defend their own research or project. Naturally, the focus of the project or research should be medical.
A variety of activities outside the lessons are also provided. First of all, this is an acquaintance with the peculiarities of students of medical professions that are of interest, visiting medical schools and participating in their educational activities, these are various social projects that teachers of school No. 1329 organize together with hospitals in the capital. There are classes not only medical, but also engineering, and with an economic bias, and physical and mathematical.
After the unification of the two schools, successes began in the exact sciences - physics and mathematics. (Let's say in parentheses that before this association, school No. 1308 itself occupied good places in the ratings of the best schools in Moscow.) After 2015, school No. 1329 (Moscow) became known not only in the city and in the country, but also abroad.
Pupils take part in the most prestigious olympiads and competitions, most often they win. In 2014, they made the best school site in Russia. School No. 1329 can now be rated by anyone - it will be among the leaders, and this is exactly what has been happening in recent years. Even in the ranking of "500 best schools in Russia" - eighth place. Despite the fact that the buildings at the school have increased, there is no disorder.
Indeed, school number 1329 has more than one address. Three pre-school departments - the first on Akademika Anokhin Street , house number 12, building 5, two more at a different address: the Olympic Village, house number 8, buildings 1 and 2. Two school departments are located in schools - the first on Nikulinskaya street , house 10, and the second in the building of the former school No. 1308 on Akademika Anokhin street, house No. 2, building 5.
School building
And now about the most interesting. In the now distant 2000, the Moscow Government, together with the Department of Education, gave the assignment to a group of architects who immediately began to develop a pilot project - it was a school, which had not yet been in Moscow, and very likely in the whole country. The project was to give the building such engineering and technical capabilities to enable the school to reach a new, modern level of provision of advanced educational services. They decided to pay special attention to sports. The building turned out to be glorious, it was possible to educate future Olympic champions.
GBOU "School No. 1329" turned out to be a total area of twenty two thousand square meters, and is designed for seven hundred and twenty students - only twenty-four classes (including primary, secondary and senior). It was really possible to envy the sports and recreation complex, allocated in a separate block: multifunctionality of a gym, two pools, a gymnasium and a gym. Four classes can come to physical education classes at the same time.
Of course, not only the sports complex in this building was admirable. Beautiful dining room for two hundred and forty people, a huge library, an assembly hall with excellent acoustics, several museums. The three-story building itself is very beautiful, especially the facade lined with wood. Architects for the development of the project and its implementation received the Moscow City Prize in 2007.
International recognition
In 2016, Russian students managed to successfully perform at the international Olympiad in mathematics and physics. Nine participants won gold right away, while silver and bronze also left for Saransk and Rybinsk. The four boys who won Olympic gold were from Moscow, the rest from Kirov, Perm, St. Petersburg and Saransk. The press abroad wrote a lot about this amazing fact, in Russia - much less.
There were probably reasons for this. We have not shown these heroic and phenomenally gifted children on TV either. But this is our pride. Although, of course, when football is on the screen, it is more understandable and fun for most than physics with mathematics. That would be the same success! There is another interesting point that I would like to draw attention to, since it is even more difficult to notice it.
Where are the kids from?
All ten of our winners represented (as, however, almost always) only a few schools of a huge country, and two of each of the four schools came. This is the St. Petersburg school No. 239, the Moscow school No. 2, the Saransk lyceum for gifted children and the Moscow school No. 1329, department No. 2, which was first noted at such a high level. This is a very successful result in the twelve years of the institution's existence. First of all, the result achieved by the school principal - Burmakina Veronika Fedorovna.
We can say that the Moscow educational policy in the person of the director has acquired a true enthusiast. And the whole series of mergers with other educational institutions was not in vain. The only sad thing is that a high educational level is supported only by the best specialized schools. But it is incredibly pleasing that the new educational institutions, such as those created by Veronika Fedorovna Burmakina, school number 1329, are the focus of geeks who will not give the country an insult if something bad happens. The main thing now is to hold on. Not only to teach, but also to educate. And of course, publicly celebrate victories at this level in Russia.
Reviews
First you need to talk about the negative points noted in the reviews. Many parents complain that this school has specialized classes with in-depth study of certain subjects, and there are universal, that is, ordinary ones, where the quality of education leaves much to be desired. There are several reviews that, after an unsatisfactory preschool preparation, the school did not add knowledge, skills and abilities during several years of training. The attitude of teachers is not too demanding, workbooks are not checked for a long time, and they are not used by others even in the second and third grade, there are few homework assignments, and classwork for the whole month can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
And one more bell - staff turnover. Teachers in primary school children change too often, and this is in principle unacceptable. Many parents regret that they were “seduced” by the rating, and already intend to find a school easier and more honest. Parents are afraid to complain about the teacher, even if they are not too happy. Veronika Fyodorovna, they write, is very strict - at the slightest complaint, the class teacher leaves her. For this reason, children fall into stress, even get sick and lag behind the program.
Parents of preschoolers are especially often unhappy. As a result of the mergers, many highly qualified kindergarten teachers in the school No. 1329 for various reasons did not remain, and those who replaced them did not conduct such classes at all, and not in that quantity. Instead of mathematics, reading, the development of speech, the study of nature, modeling and drawing are sole and exclusive. True, there is still music and physical education, but this is mandatory for everyone and is carried out not in the premises of the group, but in the corresponding hall.
When holidays
Since students study in trimesters, holidays at school are often: the first time the children rest from the fifth of October to the eleventh, then in November from the sixteenth to twenty second. Of course, everyone is happy about the carefree New Year: a vacation from the thirtieth of December to the fifth of January. In February - from the fifteenth to the twenty-first, and finally - from the fourth of April to the tenth. Little by little, but often.
The school year ends in the first grades of May twenty-third, from the second to the fourth - of the thirtieth, but the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and tenth - only on the third of June go on summer vacation. At the ninth and eleventh, of course, exams, the schedule changes every year, and the school curriculum also, therefore, it is impossible to indicate exact dates.
More reviews
Never rests school number 1329! Vacations are also work, and how this summer shift is taking place can be judged by the written review reports. One of the Mondays in June, which was documented in detail on its own website by students of school No. 1329, is worth at least a fragmentary display as opposed to the feedback of individual students and parents who were not satisfied with anything. Monday began with a surprise. Real professional musicians came to the children and conducted an open lesson with them. The guys unexpectedly quickly mastered folk instruments and played with the soloists of the famous academic orchestra "Russian Patterns".
After the surprise, familiar and beloved entertainments followed: a swimming pool, outdoor games, classes at an art studio, then at a computer club, then by interests - too much to list. After lunch, there was choral singing, a fascinating lesson in biology and medicine, where hemoglobin was studied in detail. Then they played table tennis, painted plasticine paintings, and finally attended a robotics workshop. On June 12, the Moscow Shift, the school’s summer educational site, took part in various events on Poklonnaya Hill in Victory Park, which were supervised by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergencies of the Russian Federation. And in honor of the jubilee eighty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the civil defense service in Russia, students went on a specially organized tour where they learned a lot about the air defense of the capital during the Great Patriotic War.
Museums
There are several museums that operate under the SBEI "School No. 1329", that is, with the upbringing of children, the main problems of our time are almost solved. The Istoki Museum of History and Local History was born simultaneously with the opening of the school, and its fund was formed with the help of a team of teachers and parents of students. A museum grew simultaneously with the Education Center: expositions expanded, forms of work with children improved, leaving the main goals of upbringing intact - this is an interest in history, broadening one's horizons and a feeling of love for the motherland. Permanent exhibitions, which are always accessible to young visitors, are designed to support students' desire for knowledge. Here are the realities of primitive society and the development of ancient civilizations - Greece, Egypt, Rome. Both children and adults readily join the interesting topic of folk crafts, where there are expositions with Khokhloma, Gzhel, birch bark, wooden and clay products. A very interesting exhibition dedicated to the Patriotic War of 1812, and, of course, the richest artifacts exposition on the history of the USSR.
The Fifth Moscow Division, which held the Nazi invaders on the outskirts of Moscow (the defense line was not far from this place - you can walk on foot), is the favorite museum of the boys from school No. 1329. The division, which was created by Moscow workers, students, office workers, carried a battle flag as part of the Kalinin Front, having liberated more than two hundred and fifty settlements in two years. In the first battle alone, eight hundred heroic Muscovite volunteers fell into a mass grave. But then the fortresses of Vitebsk and Liozno, the Baltic states and Poland, Koenigsberg and Berlin fell from the onslaught of militias. The third of the museums, which cannot be told, is the Sports Museum. Here are collected collections of awards that school athletes have won, and much, much more, ranging from expositions dedicated to athletes - Heroes of the Soviet Union and Russia - to all kinds of souvenirs presented to the museum by graduates who have chosen sport as a profession.
Nothing is possible, or Something else
For performances of musical, choreographic, theatrical groups, the school has a wonderful scene in the large assembly hall, which is equipped with the most modern equipment: both light and sound. There are two projectors installed for demonstrating films on the big screen - a powerful DLP, as well as a side one.
There are also small assembly halls, where a mirror stage, a ballet machine and musical instruments are installed. Since Education Center No. 1329 is a school of new technologies, the latest audio and video equipment with wireless signal transmission, digital control and other high-tech functionality is everywhere.
