Šiauliai Centro Primary school, Lithuania

Šiauliai Centro Primary school is a partner institution.

Šiauliai Centro  Primary school is a small school in the center of the city. It was found in 1993. This year the school will celebrate its twentieth anniversary.  There are 220 pupils aged 6 – 11 and 20 teachers. The school has got a pre – school group and 10 primary school classes.  

Centro Primary School is a public school, owned by the Municipality of Šiauliai. It follows the National School Plan and curriculum, but School is specific because of two systems functioning in it . Seven classes work following so called "step by step" program, which is focused on child centered education and other half of school works in so called "traditional" way which is based much more on academic things.

It is school in the city centre and represents families of urban region.  There is strong school community – high level of cooperation between teachers and families. Parents are involved in school projects and making decissions about school developement. Important part of school life – social partners – Siauliai University, Centre for innovative education, centre of education developement, nursery schools, neighbourhood primary and secondary schools. Traditionaly there is exchange exhibitions, performances and concerts between our school and  kindergartens. During The Soviet period Siauliai was closed city because of one of the biggest military air – force bases. So now, we have very solid cultural, national and racial background. Like in other  countries there is very high level of emigration in Lithuania. It has influence to our school too. There are psychological social and academic problems with children from families, were parents work abroad and children must live with grandparents or other relatives.
