High School N 76 (The School of Noospheric Education) is situated in
a small town. This town (Lesnoy) is not very famous in Russia. But it
was the most comfortable one in Sverdlovsk Oblast in 2001. It is a native
town of Alexander Popov. I'm sure you do know our Olympic champion, the
best swimmer of Russia. In our town a famous boxer, Kastya Dzu, had several
fight shows. There are many poets and writers in Lesnoy, maybe thanks
to its picturesque landscapes: mountains, woods, rivers and lakes. |

I
think our town is also known due to School N 76. There are only two
schools of such kind in Russia. Its the most
beautiful school I have ever seen in my life (of course, I haven't
seen many schools during my life). Our school is a new one. It was
built in
1995. It's named in honour of Vasylyev D. Y., the first principal
of our plant. The main aim of our school is to develop ecological
knowledge,
skills and critical thinking among our students. Our supervisor of
studies is Professor Sylorskaya, the leader of the Regional Centre
of Ecology
in Ekaterinberg. |
Our
school has all the opportunities to develop students' physical
and intellectual skills and the support their ideas
in different spheres. There are two swimming pools, three gyms, an
observatory, a winter garden, a library, two computer classes,
a canteen, a cafe
for students, a museum of our school (its history), two video halls,
a concert hall, an exhibition of students' pictures and projects
and a garage with cars and a school bus for trips to Ekaterinburg
and
other sites , their theatres, museums and circuses. We have parrots,
an eagle
and turtles in the winter garden. |

Field
brigades, expeditions and research societies are organized in our
school. We also have training grounds in Ecology where
students
observe changes in nature. There are research brigades in geography,
biology, astronomy and English at school. Our students take
part and often win
in different intellectual competitions especially in astronomy,
physics, ecology and English. We also organize work on projects.
We try to take
part in all the competitions: interschool, regional, all-the-Russian
and even international. |
One
of our students has won the first prize in the all-the -Russian conference
in astronomy. So as you can see our students can develop their skills
in different directions. They have a chance to demonstrate their
individual talents. Marachlin Anatoly and Postnikov Kossya (students
at our
school) have been in Japan and have taken the black belt in karate. There
are 1300 students at school and everybody can find himself in the
sphere he wants. There are about 150 teachers at school and I, Galina Romanova,
am one of them. |
