Situation Center Open Doors

Educational center for children

The Ukrainian Education Center offers a full-day Ukrainian education program, for children in grades 1 through 11. Students are enrolled in a 'home-schooled' mode, but study in classrooms, with teachers from Ukraine, following the Ukrainian curriculum, and the completed education will be recognized by the M.O. in Ukraine. The teachers working at the Centre are from Ukraine.

The centre is also open for children aged 5-6 years old which attend classes half a day.

In the afternoons the children attend language courses (English, Bulgarian), art classes, music, etc. depending on the schedule of activities. 

During the summer months, the Educational Center will offer non-formal education and different educational activities for children aged 5 to 17 years old. The activities are going to take place every business day in the working hours of the Center. 

The capacity of the centre is 200 children.
