The most beautiful schools in the world! What are they like???
Ørestad High School, Copenhagen, Denmark
This amazing school is not only modern, trendy and cool, but also free and in some ways ordinary - in the sense of a comprehensive school. You don't have to be very rich or very smart to get in. You can be an ordinary person and still study in a building whose shutters move like sunflowers to follow the sun so that the room is always light.
And there is much more glass here than blank walls, so that children do not have the familiar feeling that you are locked here against your will.
In addition to the regular classrooms, there are plenty of places in the school where you can lie on pillows with a laptop or a book. The whole point is to make it more enjoyable for the child to spend more time at school than he is required to according to the schedule.
Rafael Arozarena High School, La Orotava, Spain
The design of the school is very powerful and very urban. If this school were somewhere in the center of a busy city, you could say that it is interesting and not bad, and forget about it. But here interesting details are revealed. This free comprehensive school was built for the children of farmers. Most of its students are from farming families. Many of the parents have an incomplete secondary education, and no one even mentions higher education.
The goal of the school is to show children that the circumstances in which you were born should not at all become an obstacle to achieving the goals set before you.
And if you grow up in a farming village and your parents are peasants, this does not mean that you cannot have another fate. There is a completely different life in the world, and you can choose for yourself - to become a farmer or a physicist.
Modern High School, Los Angeles, USA
In a sense, this school has the same mission as the Spanish school. The school is located in one of the most disadvantaged areas of this rather prosperous city. The majority of the students are children of the first generation of immigrants from Mexico.
Since the parents themselves are uneducated, the children have few examples of successful adults who were able to escape their social environment thanks to education.
The modern school tries to show that living in a ghetto doesn't oblige you to stay in that ghetto. That is, a school surrounded by slum-type houses tries to be the coolest building in the area. And education becomes the coolest thing in the area.
Galjoen School, The Hague, Netherlands
The school was built from two old pumping station buildings. The architects combined them to form a crocodile, which they thought would appeal to children.
In general, the main requirement for the school was safety: the school is located in a not very good area, and therefore it was important to create a place where children can play away from the unreliable elements roaming around. Another requirement was to get rid of rectangular classrooms, because they are unbearably boring.
Marcel Sembat High School, Sotteville-le-Rouen, France
This is one of the greenest schools in the world. Despite being located in a city and surrounded by uninteresting buildings inhabited by the local poor, the school tries to use every square meter of its allotted space for lawn.
Not only the roof, but also all the inner courtyards are sown with grass.
The main idea is that a child should be outdoors more: sitting in boring classrooms all the time is harmful not only to health, but also to a person's worldview. When the weather is good, even lessons are held here on the lawns.
