Meeting the Giants of Serbian Literature

In April, second-year students had the privilege of visiting the Dositej and Vuk Museum, where they acquainted themselves with the lives and works of two significant figures in Serbian literature. This visit coincided with the Day of Remembrance for Dositej Obradović, providing students with the ideal opportunity to delve deeper into the lives of these two giants, considering they had already learned about Vuk's language reform in Serbian language classes.

The museum exhibition, housed in a building that once was Velika škola, provided students with a glimpse into the atmosphere where Vuk and Dositej likely met. The museum curator shared details about their lives and work, shedding light on their roles in the enlightenment movement. During the visit, students had the opportunity to learn about the challenges they faced in their endeavors, as well as the revolutionary ideas they sought to implement.

Furthermore, students heard interesting facts about the private lives of Dositej and Vuk, further enriching their understanding of these two giants. It was emphasized that such visits and educational activities play a crucial role in students' education, allowing them to experience history and culture firsthand and to form deeper connections with the material they learn in school.

I am extremely pleased and proud to be the parent of a Savremena student. During my first encounter with the school management, when I asked about my child’s potential enrolment, I saw how much love, enthusiasm and professionalism you put in your work. I was impressed by your approach, ideas and methods. I couldn’t believe something like this existed in our country! It doesn’t take long to realise that this is a school you would recommend to everyone. Creativity, modern technology, top-quality education, and most of all, the humaneness that can be seen throughout the school, make it truly different and worthy of its name – Savremena Gimnazija. With such an approach, the success of this school and, consequently, our children’s success, is unavoidable. Congratulations! Jelena Đorđević, Andrija’s mum
