Jõhvi Kesklinna Kool

Jõhvi Center City School from north-eastern Estonia. As of September 2019, the school had 513 students and 48 teachers. Within the school itself, teamwork among the staff is constantly encouraged and promoted to enable the students to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to empower them to take charge of their learning. The Estonian language immersion program is used in the school. The program requires at least 60% of the studying to take place in Estonian, the target language. Immersion does not negatively affect the student’s ability to speak their first language. On December 5, 2019, Jõhvi Center City School received an award from Foundation Innove, “Immersion School 2019 in Leadership and Administration.” The teachers employed by the school are professional educators, who teach creatively, teach integrated lessons, and work within the “Enterprising School” program. The school has its traditions and yearly events: Knowledge Day, School of Development, “Farewell to the ABCs,” “Mustival” vocal competition, School Olympic Games, Dance Week, Christmas volleyball tournament, the last bell ceremony, and Project Days. Numerous CAS activities, interest groups, and clubs are also available: “What? Where? When?”, an intellectual game club; “Edelweiss” Theater Studio; “Pääsuke” Dance Group, etc. Students of Jõhvi Center City regularly take part in various regional and international competitions and contests: “Dances of the World’s Nations” “Meetings in Lovati" ” IAAF Kids’ Athletics" "Jõhvi Jumper Day " and many others.
