2. Welcome to the International
Relations Lyceum 51!
We are glad to welcome
you in our lyceum!
Join us on an exciting
tour around it!
3. LOCATION OF OUR SCHOOL
Our school is located at 13,Pylyp Orlyk Street,in the
Pechersk district, right in the heart of the city. We are
neighbors with the Parliament, the Verkhovna Rada,
the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine & the
Administration of the President of Ukraine.
4. History of our school
Labour school 51 evolved from the
grammar school of Mariya
Levandovska, founded in 1889 as a
private primary school for
girls.
During the horrible years of the
World War II a German hospital
was situated in the school building.
And during Kyiv bombing the
bomb got into the school building
and destroyed the right wing.
Children came to school again in
1949 after the reconstruction of the
building.
5. History of our school
For many years the school
has been closely associated
with the Ministry of
Education of Ukraine. Thanks
to its co-operation with
academics, the school now
has a large collection of
valuable materials on lesson
structure and contents,
thematic testing and
knowledge evaluation. We
count many prominent
scientists, politicians and
business people among our
graduates.
6. Our Lyceum Today

Our motto is “There are many of
us, we are different but we live in

8. Our school has a lot of good teachers
We have lots of heroes today – sportsmen,
supermodels, media personalities. They come,
they have their 15 minutes of fame, and they go.
But the influence of good teachers stays with us.
They are the people who really shape our life.” (Jonathan Sack)
