We aim to develop the best personal qualities in students, by Olga Korosteleva-Hart, English Teacher<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

25 May 2025 – Proshkola School Kaliningrad Inspiration in Action<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Proshkola school, Kaliningrad, teachers practise the humane pedagogy of Shalva Amonashvili, the ethos of the school being to evolve free-thinking minds, stimulate imagination and exercise inventiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Proshkola, teachers strive to establish mutual respect. Each student\u2019s self-esteem is seen as a valued asset, an essential  prerequisite for academic success and a foundation on which to build a sense of personal confidence, which will hold them in good stead as they journey from their school life into the adult world beyond.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Towards this end, therefore, there are no clich\u00e9d lessons and unproductive moralizing, no stultifying and exhausting homework, no terrifying, fearful tests and checks. At Proshkola, personal development, creativity and the cultivation of spiritual values are encouraged every step of the way. Here, students are given the faith they need to become the best versions of themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, recently my seventh-grade students were given the opportunity to cast themselves in the role of island sovereigns, invested with the power to, among other things, legislate laws, promote food production, devise national costumes and establish national symbols with which to express the island\u2019s unique identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The holistic nature of this project required students to explore their imaginative resourcefulness, harnessing creativity to the challenging but fun task of designing a fully functional island society with all that this entails, from workable economics to cultural norms and mores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
