International Relations Lyceum 51

Kyiv,

Ukraine

Welcome to the International Relations Lyceum 51!

We are glad to welcome you in our lyceum!

Join us on an exciting tour around it!

LOCATION OF OUR SCHOOL

Our school is located at 13,Pylyp Orlyk Street,in the Pechersk district, right in the heart of the city. We are neighbors with the Parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine & the Administration of the President of Ukraine.

Labour school 51 evolved from the grammar school of Mariya Levandovska, founded in 1889 as a private primary school forgirls.

During the horrible years of the World War II a German hospital was situated in the school building. And during Kyiv bombing the bomb got into the school building and destroyed the right wing. Children came to school again in 1949 after the reconstruction of the building.

History of our school

History of our school

For many years the school has been closely associated with the Ministry of Education of Ukraine. Thanks to its co-operation with academics, the school now has a large collection of valuable materials on lesson structure and contents, thematic testing and knowledge evaluation. We count many prominent scientists, politicians and business people among our graduates.

Today the International Relations Lyceum 51 is a well-known institution not only in Ukraine, but also abroad.

The School has became a place of knowledge, a center for project activities of students and teachers.

Our Lyceum Today

Our lyceum has its flag, an emblem and an anthem.

Our motto is “There are many of

us, we are different but we live in

harmony”.

Our school has a lot of good teachers

We have lots of heroes today – sportsmen,

supermodels, media personalities. They come,

they have their 15 minutes of fame, and they go.

But the influence of good teachers stays with us.

They are the people who really shape our life.” (Jonathan Sack)

Lyceum’s structure comprises three stages

Stage One –Primary, Forms 1-4

Stage Two – Middle School, Forms 5-9

Stage Three – Lyceum, Forms 10-11

During stages one and two, children are taught according to the curriculum of the Intensive English Language School.

At Lyceum stage there are three distinct departments: Foreign Languages, Economics, and History. Students can choose from any of these according to their interests, and desired future profession.

All departments provide intensive English language studies.

Our Lyceum is UNESCO ASP net participant.

solving them;
