In Slovakia children start primary education in the year in which they celebrate their 6th birthday. The primary education system is formally divided into two stages.

The first primary education stage - age 6 to 10, works as platform for next studies. Pupils learn to read, write and count, the basics of Homeland studies, English and enjoy Art, Music and PE lessons. We also have a youth club that you can go to after school.

The second primary education stage - age 10 to 15, this stage can be spent either at a primary school or at an 8-year grammar school

The second stage is characterized by many changes in the subjects as compared to the first stage.

Primary school offers to its students a swimming course, a skating course and a week stay at the School in nature and more. During the lessons students use modern technologies to improve their studying results.
