Our goals
The Atlas School recognizes the identity and uniqueness of every teenager. It creates the atmosphere and conditions to uncover the I in each of them.
Our goal is not just graduate 100 adolescents, but to reveal 100 completely different “I”, and each of them knows how to:
Have integrity, self-respect and moral courage
Apply their knowledge in real life
Be healthy
Be able problem-solve and think critically
Persevere
Be able to work independently and with others
Be ready to take risks
Be creative and brave in their dreams
Truly enjoy their life, their work, and be happy
Be life long learners
