When choosing activities, it is important to consider your child’s age and developmental level. For younger children, it is best to choose activities that develop basic skills such as motor skills, speech, and social skills.

Inside our kindergarten, we offer a wide range of extracurricular activities to help your child reach their potential and develop their talents. Here are some of them:

Every year, My Horizons Lyceum in Khmelnytskyi hosts various charity events that are an integral part of our school community. Every year, our school organizes a charity fair on Thanksgiving Day, which raises funds to support our military. These funds are used to purchase necessary equipment or materials for military brigades.


The annual Christmas performance is also a charity event that raises funds for similar needs. In addition, our lyceum hosts traditional charity events, such as the Easter basket, where students bring sweets and other necessary items to be donated to a nursing home or an orphanage, depending on the need.


Additionally, we raised funds for the needs of an animal shelter on Animal Protection Day. All these charitable initiatives are organized in accordance with the thematic weeks and current social needs. This year, our school actively helped parents of students by purchasing necessary items such as heating pads and car tires.


All of these activities demonstrate our commitment to supporting the community and fostering responsible citizens who are ready to help in difficult situations and make a difference in the world around them.

At My Horizons Lyceum, we place great emphasis on charity as an important component of our school community. We support several important initiatives aimed at providing quality education, developing the cultural environment and ensuring the safety of our students.


Supporting Infrastructure Safety


Our school is committed to ensuring the safety of all students. We are planning to build a shelter, which will be an important element to protect students in case of emergency. We are also currently working on improving the existing shelter to ensure it meets modern safety requirements.


Support for Gifted Students


Our school has a lot of gifted students who actively participate in various competitions and contests. To support these talented children, we have created a grant program that allows them to continue their education and development. However, the funding for our grant program is limited and we are looking for additional funds to expand this initiative.

Development of the School Music Program


Our school is actively developing its music program, which includes a school band and the upcoming School Band project. We create conditions for students to practice singing, play various instruments and record their own compositions. To expand this program, we need funding to purchase new musical instruments and equipment.


Supporting Innovations and Startups


Our students have shown interest in various innovative projects, such as environmental initiatives and robotics. To develop these ideas and projects, significant investments are needed to allow them to realize their potential and contribute to the further development of our school community.


These projects are important for our school and our students. We believe that the joint support and assistance of our patrons will allow us to achieve our goals and provide quality conditions for the education and development of each student.

The Importance of Extracurricular Activities for the Comprehensive Development of Students at the Lyceum “My Horizons”

Posted on by адміністратор

At My Horizons Lyceum, we attach great importance to extracurricular activities as an integral part of the educational process. They play a key role in the comprehensive development of our students, contributing to their personal, social and academic growth.

Extracurricular activities allow students to acquire new knowledge and skills that go beyond the traditional curriculum. They open up opportunities for self-expression, creativity and the development of unique talents. Clubs and activities, such as theater, music, art, and science clubs, help develop communication skills, teamwork, and interaction with different people. This not only helps students to become socially active, but also prepares them for real life, where collaboration and communication skills are crucial.

Active participation in extracurricular activities also has a positive impact on academic achievement. Students who participate in such activities perform better because they learn to better organize their time, maintain discipline, and take responsibility for their tasks. This contributes to the development of self-organization skills, which are essential for success in any field of endeavor.

Art, music and theater classes provide students with the opportunity to express their emotions and feelings, develop creative thinking and find new ways of expressing themselves. At our lyceum, we support musical initiatives such as the creation of a school band and the installation of a recording studio. Students have the opportunity to practice singing and play various musical instruments, including drums, bass guitars and piano. This not only develops their musical abilities, but also contributes to the development of the school’s cultural environment.

Sports clubs are also an important part of extracurricular activities. They contribute to the physical development of students, improve their health and form healthy lifestyle habits. Regular training, participation in competitions and sporting events teach students endurance, perseverance and teamwork.

Extracurricular activities also provide an opportunity to develop leadership skills. Participation in student government, organization of various school events and projects help students acquire management, planning and teamwork skills. This develops the leadership skills necessary for a successful future.

Volunteer projects and charity events that we organize at our lyceum teach children empathy, compassion and the ability to help others. This contributes to the development of children’s sense of social responsibility and desire to make the world a better place.

Conclusion.


Extracurricular activities at My Horizons Lyceum are an important tool for the comprehensive development of students. They contribute to the formation of harmoniously developed individuals capable of self-expression, cooperation and leadership. Investing in these events is an investment in the future of our children, providing them with opportunities for self-realization, talent development and preparation for adulthood. We are proud to offer our students a variety of extracurricular opportunities that contribute to their all-round development and success.
