Structure of the Lyceum

Lyceum # 38 named after V. Molchanov in Kiev is an educational institution of a new type which provides the intermediate position between average and high education, provides unceasing skilled education for youths in mathematics, informatics, economy, literature, international relations, history, laws etc.
Special feature of edication is integrity and succession as well as ensuring the higher level, then state educational minimum from the first degree to the third one.

The stucture of the Lyceum is:

1-6 forms are base links of the Lyceum with detailed study of a number of subjects (mathematics, informatics, foreign languages, literature, laws). 7-8 forms - beginning of specialization (mathematical and humanitarian directions). 9-11 forms - specialization is carried out in such directions: Mathematics + informatics, Foreign philology, History + Laws.

Preparation of the pupils of the Lyceum for the further reception of education in High schools is carried out in our Lyceum.
The profound theoretical and wide practical study of disciplines of fundamental and applied character is carried out in close interrelation with a higher school, in uniform scientific - methodical and pedagogical system in the Lyceum.

Educational process exists next to pedagogical. But if the first one is directed, on high professional training in mathematics, informatics and humanitarian disciplines, the second one is directed on formation free, responsible before himself and society personality having the feeling of own dignity, high intellectual and spiritual culture. And it is impossible without deep studying Ukrainian national culture, without knowing all riches of Ukrainian language. Therefore an important role in the Lyceum is allocated to formation of the Ukrainian national consciousness.

Modern political situation in Ukraine, and condition in economy, in branches of the national relations cause preparation students of the Lyceum for life in conditions of a free-community of market economy, variety of national cultures of the peoples, that live in the territory of Ukraine.
Famous scientific experts and teachers of high Schools are involved in writing programs, reading lectures and realization of seminar occupations.
We also practise an exchange of students and teachers with foreign establishments.
Also it's important to form international or cultural conciousness, which means not only unity of culture, but also understanding of differences in thinking.

The philosophy of development of Lyceum assumes development for the gifted Ukrainian youth honouring the Native land; national consciousness, dignity and honour.
Understanding the problems in our country and in the world civilization; performances about plurality of images of the world; an ability to accept other cultures, not violent thinking; the responsible attitude to the decision of problems of the community, country, and all world.

The important value is given to the problem of seizing students of the Lyceum by high humanitarian culture, formation of worldview based not on form, national or group interests, but on universal values. The work of the Lyceum is organized to promote the seizing, of the teacher and the pupil by all components of culture: experience of activity, culture of human mutual relation.

The introduced differentiation and individualization of training provides development of creative capacities, talents, skills, knowledge, of mental functions, ways of activity, which are possible in definite age and in defenite conditions, choosing the most expedient forms and methods of training.

Therefore, creation of creative surroundings in educational establishment today is an important task. One of the examples of such creativity in the Lyceum is the organization of scientific work.
Scientific Lyceum community was created 10 years ago. During two years each pupil of the 10-th-11-th form works over a scientific theme under the direction of the teachers of the Lyceum or teachers of high Schools. The works are protected at the annual conference of the Lyceum.

Demonstrating the best research works, the students of the Lyceum participated in Ukrainian and international conferences of pupils: competitions of scientific works of Small academy of sciences 'The Researchers of Kiev', 5-th and 7-th Open Russian scientific-practical conferences of the pupils on physics, mathematics, informatics, spent by the Moscow State university after Lomonosov M.V., International conference on human rights in Frankfurt-on-Main, in the European international ecological project in Bruxelles.

The development of world culture through national prism helps to form the outlook of a citizen of Ukraine capable to work not only in his/her own country, but in the world.

That is why such important value in the Lyceum is given to the international direction of work and participation in the international educational programs. The annual students of the Lyceum trips abroad are considered an obligatory part of education, oriented on the European level, on education of the citizen devoted to Ukraine, open to the whole world.

It is directed on general educational preparation of gifted, talented youth. In particular, on mastering several foreign languages, philosophy, logic, rhetorics, profound specialization of mathematical, humanitarian, economic, historical profile etc.
The main idea is to form a Lyceum-university, Lyceum of nation European orientation.

The school is a social organization, an institute of culture and real link between an individual and society in fastening and preservation knowledge worked out by the mankind, in formation of the personalities.
The cultural context of education in the 21 century will be determined for democratic communities.
The well developed infrastructure of knowledge is important for our material and spiritual values in future, because the school of future begins today.

It is also formed from the best, that exists in the world in the sphere of education. Lets use it.
