Every year, the Ministry of Education and Science ranks the best schools. To get into the TOP-500, you must pass a rigorous selection according to special criteria. In 2016, the indicators of passing final exams in the ninth grade and the results of performance at the All-Russian Olympiad were taken into account. It's a paradox, but the results of the exam were not taken into account. Gymnasium 5 (Khabarovsk) took 465th place. This is the only educational institution of the region included in the rating list.
What influenced such a high rating, what do graduates say about the school and why do parents strive for their children to get into the first grade of the gymnasium? These questions are the subject of this article.
Gymnasium foundation
The official opening of the educational institution took place in 1936, the construction of the building began a year earlier. The children of the NKVD officers were supposed to receive education in it. This is how the 5th gymnasium (Khabarovsk) appeared, the history of which has already exceeded the eighty-year milestone.
During the war years, the building was a hospital. In 1945, training resumed, only the first two floors were used for classes. The rest were in need of repair.
Specialization
The 1960s became a turning point for the school. No one still knows why there was a specialization in the study of a foreign language. In 1964, additional English hours were introduced - more than seven lessons a week. High school students studied foreign literature and mastered technical and military translation. To cope with the general education program, additional zero lessons were introduced. The school day began at 7-20 and consisted of seven lessons.
In the 90s of the last century, the school was included in the international exchange program, which further raised its prestige. The government provided money for travel. But, despite the high level of education and a clearly expressed humanitarian orientation, the educational institution did not have the status of a gymnasium. It appeared only in 1992.
Now Gymnasium 5 (Khabarovsk) does not stand still, new forms of training schoolchildren are being introduced. For example, in the fifth grade, children begin to learn a second language (French or Japanese).
