Základná škola s materskou školou Habovka

  • Our school consists of a nursery, primary and secondary school. It is a quite small school, with 134 pupils in school and 54 children in the nursery,  in a small village in the region of Orava, Tvrdosin. We have 22 teachers, 15 in the primary and secondary school and 6 in the nursery.  The school is situated in the north of Slovakia, near the Polish border. Habovka is a touristic centre, at the bottom of the West Tatras, with many ski slopes, tracks for cross country skiing and also many thermal spas near the village. Many children of our school have their parents away from home because of their job and many parents are unemployed, so we have to help them financially, but we also have to cope with their education, social position and many other problems. We would like to include them in the project because of showing them different ways of learning and finding themselves and fulfil their free time rationally.
