Reviews about school No. 179, conditions for admission, history, description, teaching staff and much more - in this article.
Description
Since the middle of the 20th century, the school has been known for mathematical specialization. Also inventive and biological education profile.
Thanks to a special approach in terms of teachers' presentation of disciplines (more on this later), students are regular winners and prize-winners of olympiads. And school number 179 (Moscow) is the best not only in the capital, but also in the entire Russian Federation (3rd place out of 500 for 2017).
The educational program for children in this educational institution differs markedly from other schools. Here they teach to think, analyze, creatively approach any task, invent.
As for the latter, if we consider this concept on a larger scale, it means developing a special way of thinking and consciousness in general, which helps to see and perceive the world around us in a different (individual) way.
Thus, students learn not to blindly copy or memorize, but to invent on their own. After all, having learned this approach on a small scale, children can apply it later in solving large problems, including those that no one has managed to solve so far (in any industry and sphere of life).
At school No. 179 (according to reviews), from adolescence, students come in contact with real professionalism and develop their genius.
History
Initially, the St. George Monastery was located at the modern location of this secondary educational institution.

Starting in the 70s, the school became a physical and mathematical one. Outstanding teachers of this direction work here: Konstantinov N. N. and Roman S. G. (mathematicians), Bronfman V. V. (physicist) and others.
It is thanks to the efforts of these significant for the educational institution and the whole Russian education of XX-XXI centuries, specialized classes have earned that have made excellent editions of these geniuses of mathematical and physical profile.
In the 80s, school number 179 undergoes some changes - in terms of studying the exact sciences. But here no less interesting directions appear: journalism, cinematography, jurisprudence - on the basis of the corresponding universities of the capital.
Modernity
Since 2001, secondary school No. 179 (Moscow) has been included in the Institute of Open Education (in other words, the Institute for Advanced Studies of Teachers).

A little later, the inventive direction of teaching schoolchildren opens, in the upper grades smoothly turning into the analytical one. Also publishing, historical and philological specialization and self-determination profile.
The last two since 2011 moved to another building, which also belongs to school No. 179 (Orlovo-Davydovsky Lane), but in 2014 this branch was officially closed.
Training
Today, this educational institution is a kind of specialized school, in which students from the 6th grade study.
Recruitment is carried out depending on the specialization of training - from the 6th to the 9th grade. In almost every parallel there are mathematical, analytical, biological and inventive classes:
- Mathematics - grades 7-9.
- Biology - Grade 9.
- Inventive profile - 6th grade.
Teaching method - authorial, package-game. That is, students study educational and semantic blocks in different disciplines, which are united by a single topic.
The developers are the teachers themselves, also the educational materials of the old school (outstanding teachers who previously worked in this educational institution) are used. The best educational and handout materials of the educational segment of the country are also used.
