"A new school has been established by the 'Free Business' fund in Ust-Labinsk"
In the heart of Kuban, Russia, the First University Lyceum continues to make waves in the educational landscape. This specialized institution, established by the "Free Business" foundation owned by Oleg Deripaska, has been a beacon of success for its students.
Natalia Gudina, a proud mother of a recent graduate, attests to the positive impact the lyceum has had on her child's education. Similarly, Daniil Filippov, a graduate himself, credits the lyceum for fostering his independence.
The lyceum's success is evident in the impressive scores of its graduates. This year, two-thirds of the graduates scored over 90 on their Unified State Exams, with a remarkable 80 students scoring 100 in various subjects. Six of these high-achievers even managed to secure the highest score in two subjects.
Ekaterina Kretchova, head of the Department of Informatics at the First University Lyceum, underscores the importance of a determined student and a qualified teacher in achieving such high scores. The lyceum prides itself on its advanced curriculum, qualified subject teachers, practical experiments and research opportunities, and preparation for university-level studies, particularly in STEM subjects like physics, chemistry, and informatics.
Individual mentoring, participation in academic competitions, and collaboration with universities and research institutions are also key components of the lyceum's approach. Graduates like Olesya Voronina, who scored 100 on chemistry and Russian language, and Egor Melikhov, who achieved a perfect score on physics, are testament to this.
Notably, the lyceum provides free education for gifted children from 35 regions of Russia. The 80 graduates, now enrolling in universities to become engineers, programmers, and scientists, form a real brotherhood, supporting each other and maintaining a connection with the lyceum.
The classes at the First University Lyceum are taught by employees and graduates of Moscow State University, ensuring a high standard of education. The students also gain practical experience in laboratories and modern production facilities, further enhancing their learning.
Oleg Deripaska built the lyceum with the intention of helping children from small towns get into the best physics and math departments in the country. The inspiring atmosphere at the lyceum, coupled with its rigorous academic programme, has certainly achieved this goal.
One student, Fedor Belonogov, even retook the informatics exam to improve his score from 95 to 100, demonstrating the lyceum's commitment to helping students reach their full potential.
In Ust-Labinsk, the First University Lyceum continues to be a shining example of educational excellence, nurturing the minds of tomorrow.
