Ivan Vazov Language High

your wish what language you would like to study most. The languages you may

A second languageAs a second language
all students mandatorily start learning Russian.
For the most ambitious ones, the school has a
wider range of languages, including Japanese, which every student may take
up should the need arise.
Annual festivalsTo show how intelligent and full of creativity our school’s students are
we organize annual festivals dedicated to promoting the culture
of each language we study.
As you already know, Ivan Vazov Language High School has a
habit of celebrating languages on specific days. But that does not mean that
we don’t celebrate other subjects.
The Library CouncilThe school library is a perfect representation of the principle quality
over quantity. It is relatively small in size but it has many books
in different languages – from Russian to French.
The Library Council
But the best thing about is the Library Council which was created several
months ago.It is something like a book club really: several students gather regularly, they are all avid readers and regulars at the
library.
The library group
Hopefully, those meetings will turn into a tradition, a
celebration of writing and reading.
The special thing about their group is that they organize
meetings with contemporary Bulgarian writers. More than five meetings have been held for the past several months.
The clubsThe clubs at our school throw parties for history, photography and literature lovers
every week. There are also additional drawing classes for all the talented young
artists.
Citizens of the worldWe also celebrate the fact that the global world
we live in lets us be not just citizens of Bulgaria, not just citizens of the European
Union but true citizens of the world.
‘Success’Most of those clubs
mentioned are united by a common name – ‘Success’ and they successfully help
adolescents reach their full academic potential
and come closer to becoming responsible
adults capable of improving their home
the world.
AchievementsMany ambitious and talented students gather under the roof of our school every
day. Not only are they regular participants in
various competitions but they are also regular winners.
Achievements
We have awards from many national and international
contests.
Different projects
And we, students, are not only good at languages: the high results at Olympiads in different subjects
– from Philosophy to Maths prove this. We also work on different projects.
The projectFor example, a team of classmates from 11th grade took the
challenge and devoted almost all of their time to a Biology project called ‘Plants in Space’ and they managed to become
number one not only in our country but also at the international student conference ‘Express Yourself’ in Sheffield, England.
And this is really just a drop in the sea of examples of challenges took and victories won our school has to offer.
Thank you for your attention
