We receive trainees from teachers college international line to times a year for 6 weeks at a time. The pupils also visit a European country during their last school year. Our aim next year is to send one of our classes to a german school and later make revisit at our school. All our pupils are taught English (from 1 grade) and german and french (from 5th grade). We put great emphasis on language acquisition and learning foreign languages at as an early age as possible. We encourage our pupils to study and travel in other European countries.
