OS Vizmarje Brod - STEM for All Seasons

Slovenian school is Vižmarje Brod Primary / Secondary school. Pupils are aged between 6 and 15. Our school was built in 1975 and being situated in a greenery setting makes it very special and interesting. The grounds are extensive and allow for plenty of outdoor activity areas. There are about 550 pupils and 65 teachers, most pupils come from the nearby area. The numbers in each class are small and allow for quality teaching. The school is very well resourced with modern ICT equipment.

All students have extra curricular activities during the year. The final-year students go on international exchanges. There are activities for charities (a festival in May). We pride ourselves on our appreciation of and commitment to the arts and to music. Our school orchestra and choir perform regularly at school events and in the area. Our school is the founder of the »Mini school of rock'n'roll«. We offer special care for students who have special needs such as dyslexia. All students are tested during the first year and receive the necessary help thoughout their school careers. The school places a strong emphasis on personalized learning.  Most of our teachers work within a team of colleagues specialized in a specific part of the school organization. We call these “core teams”.

Our school priority in the current school year is reading literacy as we believe this is the key to quality education.

The vision of our school: we aim for each child to reach their full potential in their academic and broader development. Teachers try to make pupils feel safe, happy and healthy, adopting a positive lifestyle. Therefore we strongly believe we prepare our children well for the future.
