The Imperative for Our Project: Addressing Educational Disruption
The COVID-19 pandemic and ongoing conflicts with Russia have severely disrupted education, highlighting the urgent need for our project. Many schools lack protective infrastructure, and resources are diverted to immediate military and humanitarian needs, making it critical to rebuild educational facilities to prepare future leaders.
Achievements of Independent School “Mustard Grain”
- Growth: Expanded from 23 to 142 students in five years.
- Successful Graduations: Two graduating classes passed the National Independent Multitest.
- Comprehensive Offerings: Includes public speaking, financial literacy, and extracurricular activities.
- Innovative Economic Education: Unique educational fair with in-game currency “Zernyatka.”
- Structured Academic Calendar: Optimizes student learning and well-being.
- Remedial Summer Sessions: Supports students needing additional help.
Vision for the Future
With your support, we aim to build a new school capable of educating up to 300 students starting from first grade, complete with modern facilities like an underground bomb shelter, a canteen, and a sports ground. This will allow us to expand our impact, providing a safe and holistic educational environment from the first grade.
