Parents' Opinion: "Pride and Amazement"»
«The PYP exhibition was a large-scale and very significant event for the school and for the children in particular. The fourth-grade students explored and studied serious global topics. This was a tremendous experience for the children. Of course, the support of parents and teachers was essential, but the children themselves also put in a lot of work. I want to thank the school for such a large-scale and necessary event»
Elena Ivanovna Chadayeva, Andrey's mother
«This wasn't just an event, but a true culmination of the children's long journey throughout their elementary school years. The sheer volume of work was particularly impressive: each topic was explored with interest and diligence, and it's clear how much knowledge and skills the children have acquired over these four years. The works were varied, but each one exuded individuality, creativity, and engagement. I'd especially like to commend the high level of organization of the exhibition—everything was thoughtfully designed, conveniently presented, and beautifully presented, making it truly enjoyable and interesting to view each work. The most valuable thing was the children's genuine interest." It's clear they weren't just completing assignments; they were truly engaged in the process and proud of their results. Thank you to the teachers for their hard work, and a special thank you to our homeroom teacher, Larisa Nikolaevna, for her attention to the children and the opportunity to witness such an important stage in their development!»
Irina Vladimirovna Markova, Margarita's mother
Teacher Reflection: "The Journey Is More Important Than the Result"
The college teachers noted the students' high level of independence and engagement, their ability to present their achievements, and demonstrate their skills.
«We are glad that the students had a lively dialogue with the exhibition visitors. The most important result for us is the sparkle in our students' eyes and their willingness to take responsibility for their decisions»
Larisa Nikolaevna Ivanova and Irina Alekseevna Dmitrienko, 4th-grade homeroom teachers
"Wall of Impressions": Overall Summary
Our wall of reflection was filled with "likes" and notes. The main message that permeated all the feedback was: "Solutions always exist if we are willing to work together." This year's PYP exhibition proved that our school community is a vibrant environment where every voice matters and every idea has a chance to become reality. Thank you to everyone who has been with us along the way!
