The Summerovo school, reviews of which in the fall of 2017 interested many parents, is under construction. A completely new format of the educational institution, equal rights and opportunities for admission for absolutely all candidates, high scholarships, the ability to create without any restrictions - all this is guaranteed by the founders of the school.
It is planned that in this educational institution gifted children from different cities of Russia will be trained, who often do not have the opportunity to study in the most comfortable conditions. The founders emphasize that the school will not focus on students from Moscow, the chances of admission will be the same for everyone, so each student can try his hand at strength. It is planned that the institution will begin its work in the fall of 2018.
What is the school created for?
A school in Letovo for gifted children is created in order to enable all motivated students to open up and fully realize their creative and intellectual potential. The institution is created on the basis of the analysis of many years of experience of foreign educational organizations, where teaching is carried out at the highest level. It is planned that completely new teaching methods created by Russian and foreign teachers will be used here.
The founders of the new school expect their wards to become representatives of the new generation, which will further develop culture, science and society in various directions. High moral requirements are set for the candidates, they must be as responsible and loyal as possible with those around them and demanding in relation to themselves. Purposefulness, the desire to develop, the ability to use all resources - this is what the modern community lacks, and school students can fix it.
Educational model of a new school
The Summerovo school, reviews of which will begin to appear in the fall of 2018, has developed a completely unique model of education, consisting of three stages. The first one is the existing skills: creative thinking, teamwork, criticality, communication, all these qualities must be present at the student entering the school, otherwise he simply will not be able to study at this educational institution and contact his colleagues.
The second stage is knowledge, here students are invited to choose one of eight areas and closely study it. Suggested specializations: Russian language and literature, physical education, mathematics, social sciences, art, natural sciences, foreign languages, as well as computer technology and design. In addition to the main specialty, the student has the right to choose several additional electives, in total more than one hundred special courses are offered.
The third stage is connected with the interests of students. According to the founders, it is impossible to constantly think only about learning and nothing more, so the school is obliged to provide students with the opportunity to relax and do what they love. That is why a series of sports sections, laboratories, studios and circles will be created here, in which students will be able to get to know each other better and learn how to interact.
A new vision of pedagogical tradition
The newly created boarding school offers completely new conditions for education for modern students. The position of the leadership of the educational institution is quite transparent: you need to take the best from good neighbors, process the information received, and only then compete with yourself and high-ranking schools on the planet.
All teachers also have the opportunity to rethink existing traditions. They no longer need to act on a standard program, not being able to extend the study of a topic. Gifted children are distinguished by the fact that it is difficult for them to perceive the standard program, therefore, they need a special supportive approach. In addition to their main responsibility - to teach, teachers will help their students understand their own maturation, as well as find the uniqueness and giftedness for their further development.
School management
The director of the Letovo school, Mikhail Gennadyevich Mokrinsky, turned out to be in this place far from accident. As of autumn 2017, he is the chairman of the commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, which is engaged in preschool, general and additional education. In his opinion, the Russian school should be more honest, since at the moment its educational process gives a double interpretation of the material.
The head of the new school also notes that a modern educational institution should give each child the opportunity to gain experience and expert position in certain issues. The student should have an idea of ​​how to use in life the knowledge that he received at school or in other educational institutions.
Admission: First Steps

It is these rates that the administration of the educational institution has planned for the 2018-2019 academic year, if necessary, the Scholarship Fund can allocate the necessary amount.

Each family has the right to apply to the Scholarship Fund for free material assistance for the education of a child. In this application, you will need to fill out a questionnaire, as well as attach documents confirming the financial condition of the student’s family.
The entire package of documents after careful consideration is sent to a credit institution, which is a partner of the school. The Bank assesses the solvency of the family of a potential student, after which the council of the fund, based on it, determines the possible size of the scholarship. The application is influenced by data on the composition of the family, as well as on the amount that she spends on the education of other children. The amount from the Scholarship Fund is provided free of charge for the entire period of study of the student at school.

This line will have to connect with the extensions of the red line, which the metro planned to put into operation in 2019.
How will they feed the children?
Parents sending their children to the Letovo school are often more interested in the canteen than the educational process itself. The menu that will be offered to students is created on the basis of the buffet, where everyone can choose their own dish to taste. If the child has an allergy, diabetes, or other diseases of the digestive system, a local dietitian will help develop a suitable menu. A special ban is imposed on carbonated drinks, it is proposed to replace them with juices.
In addition to the dining room, every home where children live has small kitchenettes with refrigerators and microwaves. Everyone has the opportunity to cook something with their own hands, someone can do it on their own, or they can "cook" with mentors who are always ready to come to the rescue.
