Sinds 9 mart hebben wij extra doordeweekse klas van 28 vluchtelingen. Het onderwijs wordt gegeven in de Oekrainse en Russische taal door onze professionele leerkrachten van Oekraïense en Russische afkomst. Het is heel belangrijk de kindertjes een veilige omgeving te kunnen bieden, afleiding en geborgenheid dank zij een omgeving in eigen taal. Wij hebben nu alleen Russischtalige Oekraïeners, maar misschien kunnen wij op termijn ook alleen Oekraïenstalige leerlingetjes helpen.
Sign up for an intensive 10 weeks Dutch beginners or intermediate course at the Spinoza school in the Hague!
In 2019 we plan to start several projects in cooperation with Dutch schools and kindergartens as well as exchange our experiences in educating multilingual children.
Educational process never stops, because Spinoza Foundation hosts classes 7 days in a week.
Join us!
OUR PHYLOSOPHY
Allow us to introduce ourselves: we are a language school named after Spinoza for multilingual children and their parents. Children can come to us once to several times a week after regular school ends. Classes last from 2 to 4 hours. Our classes focus on developing, learning and communicating in one of the following languages: Russian, French, Italian, Spanish
Currently more than 100 children attend our classes.
For all children our school is a place where they learn not only the language but also obtain valuable knowledge on the subject of logics, painting, theatre, programming, chess in Russian, French and Italian languages.
We are guided by the following principles in our education: <<FREEDOM, DESCIPLINE, HARMONIOUS DEVELOPMENT>> and <<DIFFERENT CHILDREN = DIFFERENT APPROACH>>

WHAT ELSE IS IMPORTANT TO MARK
Our difference from other language courses and schools is in synthesis of several important learning factors. When selecting a program and conducting classes we take the following into account:
> particularities of multilingual children;
> results of scientific research of multilingualism;
> individual characteristics of each child;
> the need of development mental and communicative skills;
> possibilities of working together on the projects with non-linguistic teachers;
> possibilities of teaching new, relevant, different from the content of the program in an ordinary school
Depending on children’s skills in a group, we use either ready-to-be-used programs and materials or we adapt them or we create our own. The compliance to a chosen course is checked during a school year and can be adjusted as many times as necessary for favorable and effective study. The questionnaire data, testing and observation help us in this.
