We are a school from Korcula, Croatia. The building of our school is 800 m2 and we have outside space with a playground. In the building there are four large living rooms for children from 3 to 7 years and two large rooms for children from 1 to 3 yrs. We have a kitchen, dining room, wash-room, sport hall, puppet theater and covered terrace with a beautiful view of Korcula medieval walls. All our corridors are large and without any steps so we use them for various activities. There are about 240 children in the school.


What is important about our school?

We are a children's culture center using our cultural and natural heritage. We help children to develop a positive image of themselves, their identity and their belonging to this community.

We play moreska too (a traditional sword dance and drama) and we have been on English, Czech and French television. We work in project healthy city where we are involved in sport activities.
