School News

On January 24, our school held a conference entitled “100 Questions to an Adult” with documentary producer/director Yazamir Gott. 

Mr. Gott presented his new documentary dedicated to a very special group of actors: those performing in a unique Moscow theater which hires actors with Down Syndrome.  The conference was opened with an excerpt from the film, which spawned a serious and complex discussion about humanity, kindness, sincerity, happiness, and what really matters in life.

The discussion had only one drawback – a catastrophic lack of time!  Fortunately, Mr. Gott has promised to return to the school again in March to discuss his new film, on which he is working now.

Enormous thanks to Sergei Dyachenko, who gave us the opportunity to hold a discussion with the incredible Yazamir Gott.

 

 
   

Slavic-Anglo-American School "Marina"  (SAAS "Marina")
          SAAS "Marina" is a foreign  lanquage  school  that  opened its doors for the first time  in September  1990. (Official registration date is January 31, 1991).
      
The school consists of three levels: elementary-, middle- and high-school. These cover the total range of a regular Russian school, from ages six to seventeen (grades 1 to 11).

     Students  beginning  at  the  elementary  level  are  able to follow the program  through to  its  completion.  Therefore, it is possible  to  enter at  that level and remain in the regular program for eleven years.
          Older  students  entering at the intermediate or upper levels, who have little or no language  background, spend one year in an immersion or  preparatory  group ("courses or supplemental school").  They are  then mainstreamed into the regular program.
