                   Information about School

        ** Center  of  Hope   ( set up in october 1991 )  is the first
Christian  school in Rivne region, Ukraine. It is a state experimental
school which uses non-standard  forms of  education. Its curriculum is
based on the methods  of the Accelerated Christian Education and those
of the national  Ukrainian programme. Its main doal is to brind up the
pupils  on  the Biblical  principles, in the spirit of love to God and
Ukraine.
        The budget consists of three main sources :
        1) the state budget (about 40%);
        2) the parents' fee ( 35%);
        3) sponsors ( 20 - 25% ).

                     How it Works

        ** The school is quite different from ordinary secondary school
because its task is to  treat each child  as an individual, not just as
part of a group. There are 3 groups :

         One group  - the  first level grade
         Two groups - the second level grade
                      ( 17 pupils each).

        The children are taught 5 subjects in English and 5 subjects in
Ukrainian (mothertongue, handicraft, phisical training,interesting math)
The  children use  PACEs  bought in the  Moscow ACE center and Ukrainian
textbooks.
        Ukraine is the country of different religions, therefore  Center
of Hope is an interdenominational school.
        Our staff consists of 15 people: principal-administrator,3 super-
visors, 4 monitors, 3 teachers of  the  national  programme, a secretary,
a book-keeper and janitors.
        The school day lasts from 9 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. with two breaks for
snack time and lunch.


                     Our    Facilities

        The school is located in a two-storeyed building. The address is:
Center of Hope, Ostafov Street, 5, Rivne, 266000 UKRAINE.
        The classrooms  have  special  furniture (booths)  for individual
learning. All the classroom have  recreation  center  where  children can
rest and play.A separate classroom  for the national curriculum is equip-
ped according to the latest requirements. The  school  canteen  is  being
repaired.


                     Our Plans for Future

        We hope  to make  our school  one of the best in Ukraine. We plan
to have some more  classrooms taking  into account a great interest shown
to this programme both by the parents and children.
        We would like to have correspondence with some schools and organi-
sations abroad for better contacts and a pen-pal programme.


                                                Sincerely,

                                                Nadia Marinovich

                                                Principal of the School
