High school №36 Krasnodar
High school №36 is located in Krasnodar in southern Russia near the Black and Azov seas. Thanks to the transitional climate, between mild continental and subtropical, the average annual temperature in Krasnodar is +13.4° and solar radiation reaches an average of 3.5 kWh/m2.
The school building was built in 1886, based on a design by the architect V. Filippov, which bears witness to its cultural-historical value. Today the student body counts 970 pupils in 33 classes. The educational process is implemented in an humanistic orientation. For many years the teachers have been improving their work with gifted children by conducting, among others, the specialized Olympiads for students of 5-11 grades, small Olympiads in Russian and mathematics for elementary school pupils, individual and group sessions of specialized circles and summer math schools. The children take part in scientific and practical conferences "Eureka" and "Eureka JUNIOR" as well as in various competitions and festivals. The high school thus pursues the goal of supporting gifted children and giving them the opportunities for creative self-realization.
The high school is a laureate of the Competition of General Educational Institutions in Russia, a laureate of the Prize for Administration of Krasnodar Region in the field of quality of teaching and a member of the Club for Quality of Education in Russia.

Its work is aimed at fostering in pupils a sense of patriotism, citizenship, humanism and moral values.
