Visit to the Ascension Church: Learning About Orthodox Tradition

On October 21, first-year students from Savremena Gimnazija, accompanied by Religious Studies teacher Ana Marjanović and Philosophy teacher Slobodan Rodić, had the opportunity to visit the Ascension Church. This visit allowed students to gain a deeper understanding of Orthodox tradition and the significance of faith and spirituality in the cultural identity of the Serbian people.

Exploring the Spiritual and Cultural Heritage of Orthodoxy

The students showed great interest throughout the presentation, asking questions about the church’s role in the community and the distinctive aspects of the Orthodox faith. Their active participation highlighted the significance of the topic.

After the visit, students expressed positive impressions. Many noted that the event was interesting and well-organized, with particular attraction to the church’s historical and artistic aspects. This visit offered a valuable opportunity to connect theoretical knowledge from lessons with real cultural and religious heritage.

The teachers also emphasized that the visit was an important educational addition to regular classroom activities, as it provided students with a firsthand experience, offering a broader understanding of the role of religion and culture in everyday life.

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
