Every adult has come into their present life from childhood. Let us make our school colourful and cozy. Let us fill it with positive energy and emotions so children could feel calm, confident, and happy. They will love it and will have the most precious school memories.


Project description

East building

“Otets Paisiy” School has two buildings – east and west. Upper year students study in the east building. They have grown up and are looking at the horizon ahead. We have used friezes and photo wallpapers showing magical worlds and characters who explore them and always achieve their dreams.

West building

Younger children study in the west building where we used friezes with the Little Prince and inspiring thoughts and positive affirmations. They represent children’s dreams and the wisdom of books.

The classrooms

Each classroom has a special and unique wallpaper with inspiring thoughts and a beautiful image. Wallpapers have been chosen according to the subject studied. Walls are painted in soft colours that match the wallpaper colours. Students feel relaxed and more attentive in class as they are in a learning environment that is favourable for them.
