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.

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

thematic testing and
knowledge evaluation. We
count many prominent
scientists, politicians and
business people among our
graduates.
