About the Lyceum
Foundational Educational Institution Biotechnological Lyceum "Radowell" is a state of the art educational space, fully adapted for the development of children, including those with special educational needs. It is a safe educational environment, where child development is organically linked to real-world application.
The Lyceum was reconstructed from the old building of the former State Radowell secondary school and officially opened on September 15, 2018.
The Concept of the Lyceum
The idea of “Radowell” is forming strong character traits based on spiritual values. The Lyceum has created preconditions for:
- Acquiring academic knowledge
- Physical development
- Developing of creativity
- Social, moral, and spiritual development
The design of the Lyceum was developed in accordance with the core values stated above.
All necessary conditions for the development of children have been created.
The classrooms are supplied with technical and technological equipment, including interactive panels of the new generation “EdPro” with the exclusive educational platform MozaBook, that allows teachers and students to perform interactive tasks with game elements, study educational content, get acquainted with thematic 3-D models, conduct experiments, etc.
At the Lyceum, there are around 20 studios, including Basketball, Volleyball, Football, Hiking and Trekking Techniques, Freestyle Wrestling, Choreography, “Magic Palette” (Visual Arts), Theatre Arts, Percussion Instruments, Bass Guitar, Pop Guitar, Piano, Bayan and Accordion, Wind Instruments, Authentic Singing, Choral Singing, Woodcraft, Sculpture, and the Culinary Studio. There are full of modern furniture, bright design and functional equipment. The Lyceum grounds feature sports fields with artificial surfaces for football, volleyball, and basketball. Construction of a natural grass football field built to international standards is currently underway. During the break and/ or after classes, students can play table tennis. They can also enjoy this opportunity during class hours if a teacher makes a creative decision to do so.
Our Unique Lyceum
The school week in BTL "Radowell" begins with The Meeting Day — a morning Monday tea — for which children themselves bake biscuits in the Culinary Studio. The purpose of tea drinking is to energize students for the whole week, promote understanding and build trustworthy relationships among children, as well as between children and teachers. Other initiatives include:
- Cinema Day (cartoons and films are offered not only for lyceum students, but also for their parents to watch)
- Project Day (as a rule, jointly developed projects of teachers and students deal with biotechnology, educational disciplines, community development)
- Parents' Day when parents can attend classes with their children, gather parental councils to resolve urgent issues, etc.
- Leadership Day on which the Lyceum students assist teachers to conduct classes, and grade leaders have their parliamentary sessions.
The core principles of child development in the Lyceum are relationship equality, innovation, openness, integration (interdisciplinary and that of knowledge and skills with real world application) and initiative.
Mission of the Lyceum
In the creation of necessary preconditions for child development in the Lyceum, extra effort is given to foster teachers’ professional growth, parents’ development and community progress. Active cooperation among teachers, parents and children is strongly encouraged.
The mission of the Lyceum is: “We are developing together: parents — children — teachers — community!"
History of the Lyceum
The first mention of the school is revealed in one of the manuscripts stored in the Central State Historical Archives of Ukraine dating back to 1886.
Throughout the years, the school has undergone significant changes and renovations. Nevertheless, the following activities have always constituted some integral parts of its school life. These were cross-region/ district school academic progress competitions, sport competitions, other contests, amateur art school concerts, student parades, excursions, hiking trips and many other events. The school repeatedly took prizes at regional and district levels.
Hundreds of its graduates later became teachers, doctors, nurses, engineers, athletes, pilots, designers in the space industry, lawyers, economists, university lecturers, candidates and doctors of science.
