Elementary school of Koper, Slovenia Comenius project visit- Zaragoza (9th-11th January 2013)

ABOUT THE SCHOOL AND ITS PROGRAMME Is a new public educational establishment, founded in 2006 . Almost 800 pupils attend it. In six school years the programme of nine-year elementary school is being carried out in Slovene language in the nationally mixed territory of Slovene Istria. The pupils attending this school come from Koper and its sorroundings.

… The majority of students with a migrant background come from former Yugoslavian countries, but there are some Asiatic students and students from other countries, too, that means our school is very diverse (culture, languages, …). The Elementary school of Koper tries to organize and plan its educational programme by balancing class and outclass activities.

… It offers the obligatory educational programme, expanded programme (planned educational programme in school camps and activities connected with pupils’ interests). The most important goal of our school is elementary education and the most important activity in order to create optimal conditions for the best personal and educational development of every single pupil.

… Teachers try to be professional, by doing their work, so they use modern technology and they encourage pupils to take part in projects like Comenius, Teaching through contacts… By joining international activities and projects our school desires to open the door to different experiences and their exchanging and sharing; becoming aware of others and educational profession abroad entirely mean getting to know ourselves in its widest meaning.

… In school there are lots of different halls and also 2 gyms. Classroms are very spaceous, so there is enough room for every student. Because of the largeness of the school, there are also lots of stairs - one of them is used as a hall, where we have different permormances or we can just sit or wait for the lessons, during the breaks, for a bus after school.
