8 Years of Biotechnological Lyceum "Radowell": A Story of Ideas, People, and Opportunities

Депутати обласної та районної рад завітали до БТЛ Радовель

Eight years ago, everything changed…

On September 15, 2018, the story of a new educational environment — Biotechnological Lyceum "Radowell" — began in Radovel, a unique, modern public educational institution.

Its establishment brought to life an idea by Mykhailo Veselskyi: to create an environment in his native village where people could live more comfortably and happily, and where children would have access to opportunities for development usually associated with urban schools.

That is why the reconstruction of Radovel School began in July 2017. And in just one year, the idea became reality.

Modern infrastructure, technology, and equipment provided a strong foundation. But the real strength lies in bringing these opportunities together with the people who give them meaning every day:

  • the teachers who put their hearts into working with children and look for new ways to engage and surprise them
  • the staff who keep hundreds of daily processes running and surround everyone with care
  • the people who bring new ideas and leave a part of their work here
  • the parents who get involved and offer their support
  • and our students, who fill this space with life through their discoveries, achievements, and questions

Over the past eight years, we have created a lyceum where learning goes beyond textbooks. A place where students can experiment, explore, create, stay active, and connect with the wider world. A place where they can always count on support.

Today, above all, we want to thank those who have helped shape Biotechnological Lyceum "Radowell" over the years…

Our gratitude goes to benefactor Mykhailo Veselskyi for his vision, ambitious thinking, and willingness to turn ideas into reality.

We thank everyone who, over the years, has helped build and continues to shape this place through their work, time, knowledge, and commitment.

September 15 marks the date when a new chapter of opportunities opened up for children in Radowell and the surrounding area. And on October 6, we will look even further back in time to celebrate the 140th anniversary of Radovel School itself, founded in 1886.

It is an extraordinary story of an institution that continues to grow alongside generations of students.

We are living through difficult times. Symbolically, the clock in our lyceum stopped at 4:00 a.m. on February 24, 2022. And this morning, a rainbow appeared over Radovel. Perhaps it was simply a natural phenomenon. But today, we want to see it as a symbol: even after the darkest night, light still finds its way.

Happy anniversary, Biotechnological Lyceum "Radowell"!

Let us continue creating an environment where people want to live, learn, and become better!
