How learning is organised
Teaching in grades 10–11(12) follows the state standard of specialised secondary education and curricula approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine.
We choose a universal academic track: it keeps a broad educational outlook while allowing students to deepen their knowledge in line with their interests and plans.
An individual learning pathway can be built for each student — taking into account their abilities, educational needs and plans for further study.
On completing school, students take the state final assessment and receive a certificate of full general secondary education.
In senior school we pay particular attention to:
- adapting to senior school and new social roles
- developing independence and responsibility
- the ability to organise one's own learning
- awareness of one's own abilities and interests
- communication and interaction skills
- critical and independent thinking
- gradual career and life self-determination
- preparation for further study, work and independent life

Admission and transfer
Grades 10–11(12) are formed in stages — as VALORA basic-school students move on to the specialised level and in line with the readiness of the institution.
Graduates of grade 9 from other schools may be admitted subject to available places. Before enrolment we hold a consultation with the family and the student to agree on the learning pathway and make sure we can provide the appropriate level of support.
