There are a lot of schools in Kyiv, some of them are just ordinary public schools, some are specialized gymnasiums or lyceums for gifted pupils.   But despite their amount every school is like a unique world with its own rules and history. There are always teachers whom everyone loves and whom everyone hates, a brilliant student who wins every contest and a bully who is always close to being expelled. Even every class is similar to a family – a homeroom teacher is usually like a caring parent for his students, who sometimes form a really great collective where everyone helps and supports each other.                                                                                                         

 Each of these schools has pros and cons, but, in my humble opinion, the best school is lyceum “Naukova Zmina”, which is one of the top 10 schools in Kyiv. It is located in Poznyaki district, close to the other top schools. It is easily distinguished from the other ones by its bright red bricks, it is half made of. There are also beautiful flowers in front of it and a nice inner court with trees and benches. The inside of the lyceum is also quite nice, especially when the main hall is decorated for Happy New Year, St Valentine's Day or other holidays.

     The teachers here are true professionals. Every lesson they prepare interesting material, explaining it not only by themselves, but with the help of detailed presentations and videos from the Internet, making each lesson a discussion between the teacher and the students with the aim of  learning new things and improving their knowledge. Some students even want to go further and explore new field of science, languages or other subjects by writing a scientific work, which often gets a high place in the contest.

     Each class is like a family indeed, mainly because of our homeroom teachers, who often hang out somewhere with their students, go to different cities and countries for excursions or just spend time together after classes, building not only a student-teacher relationship, but rather a friendship. The students are also very friendly and kind people, who will help their fellow classmates with everything, telling them the homework or passing them the paper with the answers on the test.

    With that said, I think it is quite obvious why lyceum “Naukova Zmina” is one of the best schools in Kyiv and is so loved by all of its students, including me.
