My History
I really felt the value of my profession when I moved to LA with my daughter, Nastya, who was 5 years old at the time.
I knew firsthand from friends and acquaintances how quickly children lose their native language here and how difficult and sometimes impossible to preserve it and, so to speak, multiply.
Anticipating this problem, I began teaching Nastya to read and write in Russian using the old, soviet style ABC-book and cursive writing workbook, which were used for teaching Russian when I was in an elemetary school.
I just used whatever I had on my hands. She was the first person I taught to read and write.
Being a teacher of Russian language and literature, having worked in a Russian school for more than 10 years, I never realized how challenging and at the same time interesting and rewarding it may be to teach the basics of Russian.
After all, the children I taught in Russia came to me, already possessing these excellent skills of speaking and writing. And so I began to teach other children to read and write.
Now we are called «Vasilisa». Our school has more than 100 students, we have classes from Monday to Saturday. These are not only classes of the Russian language (writing and reading), but also Mathematics, Logic, Spanish, English, Painting, Chess, etc.
We strive to combine high quality education, elements of creativity and an individual approach to each student. Our school is an opportunity to preserve our roots, speak Russian and enjoy the learning process.
We are glad to everyone who is interested in preserving the language for their children and grandchildren.
