The 10 most unusual schools in the world

In recent years, education is undergoing serious reforms, and schools around the world are beginning to take on new forms, emphasizing new values.

And against the backdrop of all this, it is possible to single out the most amazing schools all over the world, which attract attention with their unusual features, such as complete lack of discipline or finding the school directly on the surface of the water.

What kind of educational institutions are they, where are they located and what can they offer the students?

All of these schools are real and function on an ongoing basis, so you can even send your children there.

Underground School, USA

This school was built in the mid-seventies, when the United States of America was shaken by the energy crisis. The country entered the energy-saving regime, while even the energy used to heat the schools was saved. Therefore, a new school was built in the town of Reston in an unusual way. The builders leveled the hill, built a building there, then covered it with earth, which became a source of heat.

School without discipline, Canada

The ALPHA school, which is located in Canada, is very different from any other school. The fact is that there are no ratings, no timetable, no specific framework. Students themselves choose which classes to attend, and classes are not formed in the usual way, that is, by age, but by interest.

Nomadic school, Russia

The fate of nomadic reindeer herders was rather sad. They could not get an education because of their nomadic way of life. Or they had to go to the schools in which they stayed (boarding schools) and because of this did not see their family for months. Now in the territory of Russia, and in particular in Yakutia, there are more and more nomadic schools that allow children to receive education even in such difficult conditions.

General Language School, South Korea

It's no secret that South Korea, like most Asian countries, has its own unusual traditions and characteristics that may be unknown and incomprehensible to people of a different mentality. But what about immigrant children who can not find a common language with classmates in ordinary schools because of differences in mentality? For them, there is a separate school, in which each teacher also has the education of a psychologist. In this school, children are taught not only school subjects, but also interaction with local residents within an unfamiliar culture.

School of pleasant interaction with the world, USA

If you want your child to study at this school, then you need to literally win the lottery. You need to fill out the form on the official website, send it out and wait for the results to be announced. If your child becomes a winner, then a rather unusual learning process awaits him. The school teaches standard subjects, but the emphasis is on interacting with the world and household skills such as cooking, sewing and so on.

School of Cognition through Music, USA

This school, like the previous one, allows the child to learn basic subjects, but the emphasis here is also on musical education. Even if you can not afford to buy your own instrument, at school the child will be provided with everything necessary.

School for refugees and illegal immigrants, Israel

In 2011, the prestigious Oscar prize went to the directors of the film "There are no strangers", which described the Israeli school of illegal immigrants. It turns out that such a school exists in reality - there, children from all corners of the world not only receive education, but also acquire a home that they have nowhere else. They get shelter, clothing and food.

Floating school, Cambodia

One of the biggest attractions of Cambodia is the temple complex of Angkor Wat, which is located near the largest fresh water body located on the Indochina Peninsula. What else is remarkable about this lake? There is a whole floating village on it, where there are houses, shops, restaurants, and also a school. A full-fledged floating school. However, orphans study here, who live under the roof of this school. It is sponsored by the means of tourists, whose attention it draws constantly.

School based on the principle of open space, Denmark

Gymnasium Orestad in Copenhagen is not only an educational institution, but also a real work of architectural art both inside and outside. It was built relatively recently and was the first building created in the framework of educational reform. In 2007, she received the title of the best building in the whole of Scandinavia. As for the educational process itself, it is extremely unusual. The fact is that there are no classrooms or classrooms here. The whole school is one huge open space, where senior students are planning to enter a higher educational institution with a degree in journalism.

Adventure School, USA

This school in the US was opened in order to support agriculture, which is in decline. Many farms stop functioning because large corporations take an increasing and larger share of any market. The students of this American school receive a standard education, which includes all the necessary subjects. But, in addition, all of them go to local farms, where they learn the basics of farming, and also help farmers in their work.
