Tallinna Kuristiku Gümnaasium

Tallinn Kuristiku Gymnasium (Tallinna Kuristiku Gümnaasium) is a municipal school founded in 1984. Our school, where about 920 students are studying now, is one of the largest schools in Lasnamäe – the subdistrict of Tallinn. At 2012 the school was renovated and partly rebuilt. The greatest changes were made with the sports hall (it has become much bigger and changed its location), we also got a spacious library and a large auditorium hall. There are computers and video projectors in all classrooms. Overall, the schoolhouse is technically very well equipped. We have the biggest territory from schools in Tallinn. School’s latest focus has been the idea of how to make territory more attractive and active for the students. We have got a small adventure park, lots of swings and climbing attractions, beach volleyball court, running tracks and also some good conditions for making outdoor classes during nice weather. All the students study English from the very first year. For all students we offer free of charge after-class activities, such as folk dancing, robotics, science, technology, drama club etc. In our large gym you can play handball, volleyball, basketball and participate in athletics trainings. Tallinn Kuristiku Gymnasium is taking part of the Green School program, where the mission is to create a global community of learners, making our world sustainable. The school is one of the Active Movement Schools, which means that we value making students school day more active through active lessons and active breaks. The project's aim is to reduce the 'sitting-time' of children and youngsters and to create an environment or opportunities for students to move more during the school day.
