"Obolon" First Academy for Children

Worse than ever. Very expensive and not professional. The presence of good teachers and textbooks is completely crossed out by the disgusting administration. Directors and managers change every few months. The mistress, an incomprehensible person who does not have a pedagogical education, constantly asserts herself, will shine on children and parents. The attitude towards the staff is arbitrary. The essence of this institution is pumping money out of parents.

This is the best school! My children are happy to run to school. Excellent teachers, a lot of training materials, harmonious modes of study and rest, balanced nutrition. All mugs and hobbies are here, no need to go anywhere. Enough sport for the physical development of the child, which is important. Teachers are professionals who approach each lesson competently and non-standardly, with interesting and creative tasks. We are very pleased with the Academy!

The first impression of the school is good: the premises, renovation - everything is good. But if you look at it, it becomes clear that this is just a showcase. And for this showcase they take a lot of money: from $ 800 per month and an option of increasing by 10 percent every year. Money, in general, is at the forefront of this institution and parents begin to scatter money from the moment you sign the contract. To begin with, you are told that all children are good and they take everyone without selection. There really is no selection of children, but you are offered to start grooming in school not on 1.09., But in the summer. They say that it is necessary for the child to adapt to the settlement, and therefore you need to pay an entrance fee of one month, and another month of adaptation. Those. before September 1, you will need to pay for 2 months. The first pitfall lies in this adaptation: they take more for adaptation than they can take in first grade. And in the end, after paying 2 monthly payments, your child can whistle past the first grade. When my child went one summer month to the so-called. “Adaptation” he made several friends who, as a result, were not enrolled in any of the first classes of this institution. Great isn't it? Those. you just sponsored it with a reassurance that it would be easier for them to pay rent during the summer months. Looking ahead - be prepared to pay for all the months of summer vacation in full. The type of assurance does not close and your child can visit it all summer. Even if you take your child somewhere, you will still pay for him all summer. Those. your summer vacation is immediately more expensive by three monthly payments! At school, they save on everything! For example, in the winter the central heating is turned off at the school. The air in the premises is heated with air conditioners before the start of the school day. But this is only air! Walls and floors, without 24 hour central heating, remain cold. Accordingly, children fall ill in winter. But the parents continued to pay money and therefore this state of affairs suits this assurance. They also save on food. For that kind of money they feed the devil there! Parents gather initiative groups and write long lists with insufficient reassurance, but in the end, little changes. The owner of this room promises everything to everyone, but usually does nothing. I liked the episode when, at the end of the school year, she promised that children who graduated from the 5th grade will be able to go to the sixth grade, because over the summer in the courtyard of the institution, instead of verandas for walking, a second room for senior classes will be built. Naturally, nothing was built. Therefore, after the 5th grade, you will have to transfer your child to some other school. The question arises: can you immediately find a school where your child will be able to unlearn from the first to the last grade? In general, I do not recommend it to anyone! Sucks, not school. They only care about money, and children are in the background.

The academy is one of the best places for a child in the area. I have something to compare with, because I am a mother of two children, the difference between them is 9 years. Several private institutions and a state kindergarten were exchanged with the senior. She gave the youngest at the age of 4. Believe me, the difference is obvious. The main thing is that the approach to education is modern, there is no "scoop" approach at all, when everyone walks in line and is afraid to say a word. You can give a lot for the course "Life in the palms". I was even asked to show the tasks that the child did and brought home. Secondly, the earlier the child is immersed in the language environment, the better. Children speak either English or German all day. Third, adequate nutrition, your own kitchen. And accordingly, constant monitoring. Inside, I know what catering is. The company is not similar to the company, but good quality is very expensive and difficult to find. Fourth. Maryna Romanenko constantly works with educators. She is a good specialist. I have known her for more than 5 years. This is a person with developed critical thinking and an adequate view of the world. I was at one of the classes for educators. And I'm sorry that only one. I would avoid many of the mistakes I made with my senior. Price. Yes, it's not cheap. There is a similar institution in Vynohradar. But there is the same cost, but in euros. And for each hour of overtime 10 euros extra. Summary: if you are financially ready - do not hesitate. It's worth it.

The advantages of the Academy can be described for a very long time and still forget about something) In short, it is very interesting and good for children here. The teachers are real professionals.
