  • We invite children from 5 years old to the zero classes. But all children must pass the introductory stage. In the pre-school – this is an interview with a child psychologist and a primary school teacher. At the interview, specialists evaluate the child's readiness to study in the pre-school class and decide whether the child can be sent to the pre-school class or still need to wait another year. If the child is not ready for pre-school, NGS experts will provide their recommendations on what parents should pay attention to in order to prepare the child for entering pre-school for the next year.
• Age category of teachers?
  • When recruiting teaching staff, NGS adheres to the principle of generational continuity. This principle makes sense of recruiting teachers of the old school and teachers of the new, younger generation. And working in the same team, teachers pass on the best to each other and learn from each other.
