Welcome to Slovak Weekend School
and Nursery in London



Welcome to Slovak School and
Nursery in
London



Our VIsion





Slovak Learning CIC (Slovak Weekend School London) is a nonprofit organisation which aims to accommodate needs of those interested in Slovak language and culture. The centre of attention are children with Slovak roots, whose parents want them to learn Slovak language and traditions, as well as individuals of any age and background who are interested in the subject. At Slovak school our students learn to write, read and speak Slovak, as well as are taught about Slovak customs and traditions. Our school offers an opportunity for anyone who has any bonds with Slovakia, or would like to establish some, to get together and study Slovak culture and language in a strongly community-centred and friendly environment.



Our Story





The biggest dilemma for the parents of children born abroad is how to achieve that children would speak Slovak and would also know the main features of Slovak culture. One of the solutions was to establish a Slovak language 'school' where children would learn how to write, read and speak Slovak. They would also learn about Slovak customs and traditions. Not an easy task awaited Lola Kassovic, the person behind this project and the first headmaster of the School, currently one of the governors. It took loads of time to find suitable premises and qualified teachers. After painstaking negotiations and financial help, the 'school' was finally opened at Slovak Embassy in London in November 2006 with 25 children and 4 qualified teachers. Since then, the Slovak School has grown significantly, currently with almost 100 students in 7 classes and 8 qualified teachers that have relevant experience of teaching in both Slovak and English schools. All the teachers have also been DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked as the British educational systems require. Slovak Weekend School London is currently financially supported by Ůrad pre Slovákov žijúcich v zahraničí (The Office for Slovaks Living Abroad).
