Centro Primary School is a public school, owned by the Municipality of Šiauliai. The school is a member of „Step by Step“ association and   it is focused on child centered education. The school isn‘t a traditional school. There isn‘t strict division between the lessons, we work without bell. We have a strong school community and cooperation between teachers and families. Parents are frequent guests in the Morning Circles. Important part of school life are social partners – Šiauliai University , publishing office „Baltos lankos“, Centre for Innovative Education,  nursery schools, neighbourhood primary schools and progymnasiums. A few co-authors of textbooks based on integrated topic training work in our school so theme based learning is very common in the teaching/learning process.

Our school was involved in international projects with schools and universities:

·         Comenius    “Children as Researchers“ „Clasroom of dreams“, „Conflict resolution in Primary schools in Europe“.

·         Erasmus       „Play and discover Europe“ „Tdivers“

·         Nordplius     “Be Active. Stay Healthy“

·         eTwinning    “Green Kids“, and still active “We Love Animals“                     

 This year  we have big challenege, responsibility and fun of course, to take part in two Erasmus plus projects -  „Out of subject box“ and „Freedom without Chaos“. We hope, that sharing ecperience and cooperation with partners from Slovenia, Greece, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Poland and Portugal will make teaching and learning more enjoyable in our countries and all the Europe.
