Talented children

This year, PRIGO Elementary School said farewell to some of its first-level graduates, and it was truly a departure in style. All three of our students who took entrance exams for eight-year grammar schools were highly successful, securing the top spot on the admission list at their respective schools. Congratulations to them, and we wish them continued success in their studies!

The achievement of our students is pleasing for us also because we focus on children who have been evaluated as having exceptional talent. In this spirit, the key task of our elementary school is to ensure a happy life for your child and to enhance his/her versatile development with a suitable mix of school and extracurricular educational activities. In the case of a diagnosed talent in a specific area, we develop the child’s predispositions for future studies. Our intention is therefore mainly to develop the abilities of these gifted children with the help of trained teachers and psychologists. One of the means to achieve this goal is also the individual approach taken towards each student. That being said, the school’s goal is not only the enhancement of knowledge but the development of the whole personality of the child. PRIGO Elementary School place great emphasis on supporting social and emotional skills, which in some cases tend to be the weak traits of talented children. We teach them to realize their potential and improve any potential weaknesses. Importantly, we teach them to manage the stress that comes with every exceptionality. The key to our work with children is small groups. We guarantee small study groups in class even though the interest in our primary school by far exceeds our capacity. We simply consider the individual approach in low-number groups of children to be essential. The assessment in the first three years is only verbal, and the standard marking begins only in later years, gradually, so that children adapt themselves smoothly to the secondary school environment.
