New school initiative announcement
The Serbian Orthodox Church Eparchate of Great Britain and Scandinavia is pleased to publicly announce that from September 2021 we will be organising teaching of Serbian language and religion across Great Britain and Ireland for children of five to twelve years of age. Our aim is to give all of our children the opportunity to learn the Serbian language and to become acquainted with the primary elements of Serbian religion, culture and history via an interesting and interactive programme of learning that makes use of the best current approaches to teaching and technology. Our Serbian-language teaching programme, accredited in Serbia, is specially designed for the needs of children who live abroad. It will be delivered by specially-trained teachers from Britain who are already experienced in working with children. We want our pupils to enjoy this process of learning the language of their parents and relatives, the history of their people and to also have the opportunity of making new friends as well. For those who can come to our classroom centres, the tuition will be hybrid (i.e. in the classroom at weekends with an online video refresher during the week). For those who are far from our centres, tuition will be purely online. Parents will be able to provide input and ideas for improvements via the Parent’s council which will also provide a channel for organising extra-curricular activities. With this Eparchial initiative we would also like to bring together our various Serbian communities in Britain and Ireland, and by co-operating with related initiatives (e.g Azbukum, Round Table) we want to offer the best possible educational experience to our pupils and their parents. So it is our pleasure to invite parents to enrol their children into the school. We also invite suitably qualified persons to contact us should they wish to teach Serbian language or assist in whatever way they can.
