Thank you for joining the 2024 Summer School. See you next year!
The fith edition of the Summer School was organized by the International School of Oradea (ISO) from 25 June to 19 July and gathered more than 100 children.
11 teachers joined the children in the adventure of knowledge and fun during the four weeks. Each week the activities took place within a theme. Thus, the theme of the first week was “Ancient art (dinosaurs)”, in the second “Art around the world (art of nature, astrology)”, and the themes of the last two weeks were: “Art of cooking” and ” Splashing art.”
ISO Summer School 2024 was such a blast! Can't wait for 2025 edition!
The children enjoyed 5 trips and outings – the Bears’ Cave, the Museum of the Country of Crîșurilor, the Zoo, the Geko Climbing Hall and the Felix Forest. At the same time, they took part in the robotics club, twice a week, and in many other activities.
The activities of the summer school focused on the development of multiple intelligences – art, knowledge, cooking, sensory, and we emphasized two important pillars: exploration and self-knowledge.
