Background and Experience

 

• Elementary school  Zapruđe is a primary school which educates pupils from 1st to 8 grade (age 7 to 14). From Year 1 to Year 4, pupils have a class teacher that teaches all subjects except for a foreign language subject - English language  and Religion Education which are both taught from the first grade.

​

• 4th grade pupils can learn  second foreign language (German language) and in 5th grade they can take up learning a third foreign language (Spanish language).

​

• More than a 500 students attend the school

​

• 42 teachers, a pedagogue, a psychologist, a speech therapist and a headmistress make the school staff

​

• We cooperate well with the school general practitioner, the Social Care Centre and many different associations and secondary schools depending on our students’ educational needs

​

• We collaborate closely with the Croatian Employment Service which offers professional advice to all students, and we are also obliged by law to offer professional/career orientation for pupils with disabilities

​

• There is a tendency to create a welcoming environment (school as a home) where students' works adorn the school halls to represent their accomplishments and are used as an incentive to other students. Moreover, students can use different parts of school as relaxing or fun zones

​

• Due to selfless dedication of teachers, an outstanding number of extracurricular activities are available to students. Students are offered new things to learn, a relaxed atmosphere and a better way to spend their free time (Eco Group, Hiking-Eco Group, Rhythmic-Sports Group, Choir, Drama Group, Art-Creative Group, Puppeteers Group, Debate Club, Librarians, Film group, First Aid Group, Gardeners, Journalists (Media) Group, School Sport Society, Robotics, Chess...).
