OUR SCHOOL IN ACTION

The aim of the study courses on economy and entrepreneurship as well as of the student Company Programme is to develop an enterprising spirit in our students (e.g. creative and innovative thinking, ambition, and intelligent management). An enterprising person is the type coping with himself and in case of need being able to produce changes in the society either by becoming an employer, an employee, a volunteer etc. 

Our school has been a JA Estonia partner school since 2015. Economy and entrepreneurship are taught according to JA Estonia programmes and, in particular, strongly supported by the student Company Programme which involves around 80 students. At the moment, the Company Programme has two supervisors but we are gradually going to train other employees.

 

“I have seen and felt positive influence on the young people who have participated in Company Programme. They are more enterprising, brave and creative. They are people who you can trust and who will make a difference in the future” - said Karmo Kurvits, school principal.
