The main characteristic of modernity is respect for human individuality and freedom.

 

Within a school frame, this means perceiving, recognizing the child’s personality, taking into account and supporting his/her natural interest in the environment, and accepting the adolescent’s own pace of development and individual character.

 

Such an approach towards teaching and upbringing requires appropriate tools, a multifaceted and flexible developmental environment in which, in addition to acquiring subject knowledge, the pupils can develop creative and practical skills.

 

Such an environment caters for nature, agriculture, cuisine, various workshops, creative ateliers, and so on. The classroom becomes a favourite and cozy place where the perceived sharing, reasoning and problem solving take place.

 

Having a lively nature, school makes possible a healthy social process, multifaceted group dynamics, positive imitation and mutual support, equal and friendly relationships with teachers and the rest of school staff.
