Our school is a public primary school for pupils aged 6-15. There are around 500 pupils in our school and 70 teachers.
There is one school building in the town and eight satelite schools in nearby villages. There is a new gym, one of the two gyms where pupils have their PE lessons. There are five Smart boards in our school, and computers in all classrooms.
There is a big library and an outdoor fitness equipment area for use by the pupils and teachers after their lessons, in order to be more physically active.
The school is located in Kratovo, Macedonia. It`s a small town but it`s one of the oldest towns on the Balkan, and it`s one of the tourists` favourite Macedonian destination because of the old towers and bridges, and its unique location (it was formed on the grounds of the crater of a former volcano, from where it got its name, Kratovo). In addition, another famous attraction
is Kuklica (The Stone Dolls), which is only 8 km from Kratovo. The pupils start 1(first) grade when they are 6, and there are 9 grades in the primary educational system of our country. There is also a special needs class of 5 pupils. A Special education teacher teaches them, but when they get to 6 grade, they also go to regular classes with other pupils, usually 5 lessons a week.
Pupils start learning English language in grade 1, and they can start learning either German or French when they are grade 6.
