Ukraine’s Recovery: BISU launches a new project

On September 28th, BISU took part in an impactful press conference centered around the theme, "Rebuilding Ukraine: Shaping the Future of Education."

This event was hosted at the Kyiv press center of “Interfax-Ukraine” news agency. Our distinguished speakers, Mrs. Olena Tovkun, Mr. Alex Howard, and Ms. Olena Kekuch, together with our partners, the Ukrainian developers DIM, unveiled a high-profile joint project.

The puspose of this endeavor is to create a cutting-edge educational unit within the Park Lake City. It is a suburban residential complex located in Pidhirtsi, a mere 15-minute drive from Kyiv.

This strategic partnership between BISU and a leading developer represents a timely response to the evolving needs and aspirations of Ukrainian society for quality education and living standards. Ukrainians are determined to rebuild not just “as it was” but “better than before.”

Mrs Olena Tovkun: “The initial phase includes a nursery, reception and primary school, but our future plans involve middle and high school divisions taught by international instructors  in compliance with British curriculum. We’re also exploring the potential for a Boarding School format.”

We are building a dynamic student-centred environment that fosters generations of happy, intelligent and multi-skilled lifelong learners able to create a better future for humanity.

The collaborative effort between BISU and DIM represents a substantial contribution to Ukraine’s reconstruction process. It paves the way for Ukraine to leave its past behind and forge a brighter future in a joyful, inherently European, and globally intercultural environment.

Look for us: Private school in Kyiv Private school in Dnipro
