About the gymnasium. About the gymnasium Gbow gymnasium 642 earth and universe

My child is in second grade at this gymnasium. The main reason I sent him there was the English language. But now we can say that studying in this gymnasium, and without resorting to the services of a tutor, your child will not know the language! The first year, they simply took money out of us for nothing, as a result, by the end of the year the child did not even know the alphabet!!! When at the beginning of the second grade I came to E.P. Sorokina with this question, I was told categorically that my child was stupid, and the teachers were the best. And she doesn’t even want to hear anything addressed to them. Getting the student interested in the subject is not even worth the goal. According to the main program, the textbook is the worst that can be. Only thanks to classes with a tutor, I see my child’s interest and knowledge in this subject. Otherwise, there are no complaints, I’m very pleased with the great teacher. And then, we were lucky with her, only towards the end of the first grade. When the previous teacher was asked to be removed by a collective statement from the parents. A significant advantage of this gymnasium is that the elementary school is separated from the middle school and from the high school. Children are surrounded only by their peers. The classes are also separated by floors, and their routes do not intersect in any way. There is a plus in this - there is no hazing between different ages. In an extended day group, each class has its own teacher, which allows you to maintain its own microclimate and cohesion in the class. There are a lot of additional clubs and sections, both paid and free, to which a special worker takes each child. It is because of these conditions and territorial convenience that I will leave my child in this gymnasium until the end of primary school. But from the 5th grade, we will look for an educational institution with a more decent level of education.

Dear parents! Do not send your children to study at this gymnasium! They will only extract money from you, and you will study on your own if you want!

I’ll say right away that we are talking about the 1st building, because my child has been in this school since the 7th grade and I don’t know what’s happening in other buildings
Let's get down to business, starting with the building itself, renovations, classes, etc.
The building looks like a solid 4, but inside everything is deplorable - when you enter there are mirrors, beautiful sofas and changing rooms, but as soon as you go up to the 2nd floor, you see narrow corridors, old floors, terrible old desks, there is no gym as such, just a room in a dungeon with a terrible ceiling and several exercise machines, the dining room itself is beautiful, but the food!!! THIS IS SOMETHING!!! The assembly hall is very small when there is some event, children are like sprat in a jar!!! The medical office is not working!!!
Well, everything seems to be about appearance, so I conclude with a C minus, then about the teachers. Let's start with good geography A.V. Popov is a wonderful teacher, the main thing is to teach not only geography, but also simply life, biology N.B. Bereza is a wonderful teacher for those WHO GO TO THE DOCTOR, but for other children she is a very demanding teacher and for my child problems arise with it, chemistry - O.G. VAKHROMOVA she is a wonderful person, but the teacher is a weak 4, everything is bad with physics, the teacher is boorish and again boorish (L.N.) and even teaches at a 3, algebra G.A. Rybakova is a good teacher, but she often lashes out at children and there have been cases where she was brought to tears, REQUIRES COMPLETE SUBJECT TO HER INVENTED RULES!!!
St. Petersburg teacher A.A. Galetsky is NOT a BALANCED PERSON, HE CANNOT WORK WITH CHILDREN!!!
Everything about teachers, I don’t agree with those who say that they extort money, there is no such thing, extracurricular life is so-so, a solid 3, basically like the whole school, I said everything, and then decide for yourself

Dear parents, if you decide to send your child to gymnasium 642, then I advise you to think about academic classes.
If you are not aware, not so long ago academic classes were added to gymnasium 642.
What I can say about these classes are only kind words.
Firstly, very good, educated teachers.
Secondly, this is the renovation of a building in which your children may study. Large dining room and delicious, edible lunches. Thirdly, this is, so to speak, a guarantee that your child will write the Unified State Examination with the score that he needs to enter the chosen university. Very good preparation in all subjects.

I bought it for the beautiful wrapper. There are a lot of beautiful words and pathos, a lot of beautiful signs and pictures, at open days they proudly showed electronic boards, laboratories, Lego construction, robots and other “exclusive” bells and whistles, and now I have already learned that all this is available in every school and there They don’t shout about their uniqueness.
I came across the administration of this strange institution, my eyes popped out of my head - and I had the feeling that I had fallen into a trap, completely inappropriate behavior, methods of communication - concocting some kind of slander and delusional statements and demands, teachers decide who will be taught and who will not, when you are indignant - blackmail like “if you complain, your child will have a disgusting reputation and will be a poor student.”... What can such humanoids teach!? And I’m generally silent about the eternal and good, and I have to explain to the child that he must respect “THIS”!?
Learning is only independent, although no - they help - they sold us a manual - how to teach a child English, the policy of the institution - the teacher must teach with a C grade, the rest themselves (it is not clear why they require students to have not only knowledge but also an understanding of the subject, which they themselves do not explain, and why do they take credit for their children’s academic achievements?) I’m tired of doing their job in the evenings after my work - working as a teacher, and when I explain the child understands everything, I can do it without special education, but why can’t their (honored) teacher do it!? It turns out that this is not a school at all, but an extended kindergarten, where children spend time while their parents work.
In general, let's move on from there; any high school will be better than this nativity scene.

We study at an elementary school on Opochinina. I've read terrible reviews about our school - now I'm scared to move on with my life :) We haven't seen any horrors yet. Compare the terrible fees for additional lessons with the price of private English courses. And remember that you also need to take them to courses. And this also means extra time. I agree that a child will not be able to learn English on his own even with additional English classes at school. It is necessary for an adult to constantly work with the child. Do homework with your child. This will take up your time, but you will learn the language. That’s why it’s a gymnasium, to give more knowledge and demand more. We are satisfied with our knowledge, although the child’s good grades are half mine. If parents are not ready to devote their time to their child’s lessons, then of course you should not enroll in a gymnasium - it is better to choose a school with a regular program.
I see where the collection goes for household needs - security is sitting, the intercom is working, every year some part of the school is being repaired.
The child likes the food, the living conditions are 4. The worst thing is that in one of the toilet stalls there is no door, and one does not close well. They try to repair it periodically, but either the children break it or the repairs are not done well.
We bought our own desks because... We didn’t like the old ones. Now we regret it, because... We bought cheap ones and within 3 years they were all loose.
The child likes the teacher, the relationship in the class is normal. "Extortions" for extra. lessons and household chores I think the needs are justified.
When we were choosing a school, we couldn’t find another one with a normal after-school program. My friend’s daughter studies in a regular school. At 18:00 their school closes. We have an after-school program until late and, surprisingly, it’s free.
I pick you up after 6 p.m., we go home, finish our homework, mostly English and math until almost midnight, but we also study from 9:30 a.m.

A few words about the elementary school on Opochinina. My son studied in 1st grades A and D in the 2013-2014 school year. Class A is worse, class D is better. I have something to compare with, since another child studies at school No. 4. I categorically do not recommend going to class A, but you can go to class G, the teacher is not bad, but she is young and she lacks a little experience.
Pros:
The after-school program is well organized. A child can be at school from 8.00 to 20.00 free of charge. At the same time, he will always be under supervision and will not be bored.
The school has a large number of paid and free clubs. There are plenty to choose from. The quality of paid clubs is better; if you have the money, you won’t regret it.
The school has good teachers among the class teachers. A very good teacher on the history of St. Petersburg.
Quite a strong program: Perspective.
Minuses:
First and foremost. There is no school spirit here, but the spirit of a commercial enterprise that provides paid services in the field of education is clearly visible. Those. I want to say that the main task of this school is to make money, and not to teach children. If your goal is not knowledge, but a certificate, then welcome.
The closedness of the school to parents and the generally unfriendly attitude of the administrative staff towards students and parents are annoying.
The English club Humpty-Dumpty leaves a double impression. The wrapper is more beautiful than the content. His leader is a good organizer, which is important, but as an English teacher he does not inspire confidence. There will be interesting pastime in the spirit of the English language, but the classes do not reach the level of a language school, in my opinion.
Not all teachers can teach children using the Perspective program. This program requires appropriate teachers, and of the current 1st grades, only teachers of grades B and C can cope with it. For teachers of classes A and D, the “School of Russia” program would be more suitable. By the way, classes B and C are overcrowded, class D is under-represented, and class A has people fleeing. During the year, 4 or 5 people left class A. Including us.
Conclusions: it is quite possible to put up with the disadvantages of school if you are sure that the child will have a good teacher. If you don't get a good teacher, there's nothing to do at this school.

A few more words about extortions and household needs. Again, about the building on Opochinina. Elena, I slightly disagree with you about the rationality and organization of spending funds on household needs. The intercom works, but only from the main entrance, and it hasn’t read cards from Gavanskaya for six months. Is it really impossible to find time and funds to ensure the safety of our children in six months?
The food also leaves much to be desired; my child did not like it. He often came home from school hungry. By the way, the food is imported, which does not improve its quality. But the taste and color... as they say...
You cannot buy additional juice, pie or buns.
Another question for the school bus: why does the parent committee pay the driver 600 rubles for each trip? Doesn’t he have an official salary and no money is allocated from the school budget for the maintenance of the bus?
I consider the fees for additional classes in English and history of St. Petersburg to be justified. In my opinion, they complement our education program well. And they cost the same as in other schools. Moreover, parents can refuse paid lessons.
A “voluntary contribution” of 850 is collected monthly for household needs, and payment slips are provided for this. You don’t have to pay them, although they don’t talk about it openly.
The conclusions are the same - you can turn a blind eye to this if you have a good class teacher in elementary school.

We have been studying in academic classes since September 2014.
Wonderful attitude towards children on the part of teachers. Interesting lessons in which children discuss various issues, and teachers tell what they know and have studied, and not read in a textbook. The child has developed an interest in learning. Despite the high workload, he copes well with everything. A high level of preparation in all areas. Much attention is paid to mathematics and languages.
I am very pleased that we made the right choice. To be honest, after the “horror” of elementary school, it was hard to believe that there were still normal schools in our country

My son went to preparatory courses at Opochinin. Very pleased. You can feel the high level of the teacher. The child learned a lot, learned a lot and, most importantly, learned to take a responsible approach to learning. Therefore, for the preparatory work - definitely excellent. We'll see what happens next.

Egor, I wouldn’t write anything, but these reviews will be read by those who are planning to go to this school, and for some reason you have a lot of... inconsistencies. For example, you can buy pies, buns and milk (according to the child, sausage in dough - 30 rubles, milk - 15 rubles, he doesn’t remember anymore), and the children from our class buy them, by the way, most of them and food in the canteen are eating. Our class does not give anything to the driver. In class 1A, the problem was not with education, but with the fact that a couple of boys offended and beat other children, and the parents did not take any measures about this, despite the teacher’s requests (the mother of one of the offended girls told me about this), When these boys left the class, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and from then on everyone enjoyed going to school. Our children have learned a lot during their time at school, and all the parents in our class are satisfied with the quality of education.

On my own behalf, I will say that this school has advantages (many), there are disadvantages, of course, not without them, but for those who are going to go to school, I sincerely advise you to find real acquaintances or acquaintances of acquaintances (preferably several, because if a CHILD has problems, parents often shift the blame for them to the school!!!) in order to hear from them factual information about how things are, because all reviews on the Internet are biased in one way or another and present reality in a somewhat distorted form. I did just that at the time, and I don’t regret our choice.

My daughter is now in high school since 1st grade. There are absolutely no fees. We only pay for new textbooks, which we then keep for ourselves. The level of the school is good, not excellent, but acceptable, there are strong teachers, and there are not so good ones. But overall, a solid 4. English is not exorbitant, but normal. If your child wants to study, he can be an excellent student or a good student. If not, then the unsatisfactory result is obvious. There is no need to place all the blame on the teachers; they are trying as hard as they can to push something into your child. The main thing is to explain to the child that it is his responsibility to study for 11 (9) years, and then let him go wherever his heart desires (or not). In general, the school provides a normal education, the appearance of the school is good, but the inside is bad. It’s really bad, very narrow corridors (on Gavanskaya), a terrible gym (there), the food on Opochinina leaves much to be desired. But there are also some +.
If you send your child to Gymnasium No. 642, you will not regret it, of course, if your child is able to study well. Good luck!

Yes, now I have nothing to fear, and nothing to lose either. The head teacher and school lawyer will no longer come to me with a demand to remove the entry from the site and with the threat that they will destroy me as a person and as a teacher. Before this, one of my friends wrote on the site, but now I know this site and write it myself.
My work at this school began with shock. When hiring, director P.A. Troshkeev told me that children and parents are demanding. I thought that by “demanding” I meant “knowledge”.

Already from the first literature lessons, I felt some kind of discrepancy: 7th grade students never wrote essays, the grades were only 4 and 5. I analyzed the texts, and my parents made complaints that “the grades are not the same because we are not a literary school.” . Well, not all of them, of course, but those who are considered successful at school. In the end, this disgruntled 7th Gamma class filed a complaint that I was corrupting minors. And all this for the sake of an A in the quarter, a week before the grades are assigned.

And it was like that. I taught a lesson for which I have a certificate “For the moral deed of a teacher”: “Comparison of the context of the life of “The Tale of Peter and Fevronia of Murom” and the story of I. Bunin “Clean Monday”"

So, the parents, allegedly having a recording of this lesson, were going to file a complaint with the prosecutor’s office, since this story was about sex and the children were aroused. The next day, an act was drawn up about my failure to fulfill my official duties, since I exceeded the limits of the work program and the “plus” category. Not to mention the boorish form in which everything was told to me by the head teacher I. A. Neelova. I tried to justify myself (now I understand that there was nothing to justify myself in) to show a quote from the 7th grade literature textbook (according to the program) about group love and group marriage in Kalevala. To this the head teacher called me a sexually preoccupied woman.

The act was followed by control from the administration. All my lessons were attended, minute by minute, notes were checked, and minutes were kept.

I decided to leave, unable to withstand this pressure. But two days before leaving for another school, Neelova even talked to me politely and promised that all this would not drag on like a train.

I stayed. But then again I got into trouble out of ignorance. There was monitoring by RTSOCA along the river. Yaz was in 7th grade and had to submit a school-wide monitoring report. I did this until nightfall and sent it in the morning, as requested at the RTSOC. In the morning the head teacher called me and said that I had no right to send without correcting it. I asked what the correction was. It turns out that the results are falsified: remove 2, change 3 to 4, etc. etc. After this report, life at this school turned into a real nightmare for me.
I had to quit in March because the constant stress was not possible. It's a pity, the children (except for the product of this school 7 gamma) were good. There was so much that could be done with them. After all, even during these six months, children have already taken part in competitions and won prizes.
My colleagues convinced me that this is the case in all schools. I, not working in a gymnasium, say, no, that’s not true! Now I am in a warm team where I am respected, where children’s lives are in full swing, creativity is in full swing. The entire team is a single team, and not a bunch of harried teachers drinking valerian and novopassit. Yes, the children are not from high school, but since it is not the parents who run the show, the discipline is at the level. And most importantly, you can work with children to the fullest and understand that you are in the right place.

Gymnasium No. 642 "Earth and Universe"- one of the largest educational complexes in St. Petersburg and the largest educational institution in the Vasileostrovsky district.

All 4 buildings of the gymnasium are located in one of the most beautiful areas of the city - on Vasilyevsky Island. Building 1 is located on Gavanskaya Street, where the first classes of the gymnasium were opened in 1993. At that time the school had no more than 150 students. Today, more than two thousand children are studying in 77 classes of the gymnasium.

The youngest pupils of the gymnasium are located in the 3rd building, on Nalichnaya Street. There is a preschool department here - a kindergarten with comfortable conditions and an expanded curriculum.

One of the largest divisions of the gymnasium is the primary school. In recent years, the gymnasium annually enrolls 8 first grades. Children from the 1st grade learn English, and serious attention is paid to mathematical preparation. Children enjoy participating in educational projects. During the lessons, they have at their disposal interactive whiteboards and multimedia equipment, stationary and mobile computer classes, microlaboratories and electronic voting systems. All children have the opportunity to work with a speech therapist and seek advice from a psychologist. In the afternoon, after classes and until 9 pm, there are extended day groups at the gymnasium. All children from 1st to 6th grade can spend their time interestingly and usefully there.

In high schools with a gymnasium program, subjects are mainly taught at an in-depth or advanced level. In the gymnasium, equal attention is paid to subjects in the humanities, physics, mathematics and natural sciences. High school students prepare for the unified state exam in any of the areas chosen and required by them. High-quality training allows graduates to demonstrate high USE results.

A special place in the gymnasium is occupied by the structural unit Department of Additional Education for Children . It is one of the largest in St. Petersburg and has more than 120 groups. Theatrical, pop and art studios, vocal and dance creative associations, linguistic, intellectual and family clubs, sports sections - this is not a complete list of all associations represented in the gymnasium.

Unique historical documents and exhibits are presented in the Luch gymnasium museum - Leningrad teacher. Over the years of operation of the museum, more than 1000 exhibits have been collected. And today the museum rightfully occupies a leading place among school museums in terms of the wealth of its fund.

One of the priority tasks of gymnasium teachers is to preserve the health of children. For several years in a row, the gymnasium has been an experimental platform for the use of health-saving technologies in the educational process. The gymnasium, which year after year demonstrates successes and achievements in the field of schoolchildren’s health, was recognized "School of Health of St. Petersburg" and became the winner in the city competition of the same name.

Other merits were repeatedly noted. The gymnasium occupies 21st place in Russia and 2nd place in St. Petersburg in the ranking of advanced schools. Annual competition winner "Top 500 best schools in Russia", “Top 200 schools providing high opportunities for developing student talents”, takes 9th place in Russia in subjects of philological and social-humanitarian profile. Annually included in National Register "Leading educational institutions of Russia".
