Who are we?

A group of leading Ukrainian teachers from Physics & Mathematics Lyceum in Kherson and Kharkiv Physics & Mathematics Lyceum #27 and a group of scientists led by Leiden University professor Alexey Boyarsky.

For a long time, our teachers not only teach physics at the highest level, but also conduct physical competitions in Ukraine, work as the jury of olympiads and competitions, are the authors of a large number of physics problems, have their textbooks, state awards, and scientific degrees. Among their students are dozens of prize winners of international olympiads in physics, astronomy, Young Physicists’ Tournament, Genius Olympiad, and many other international competitions. And at your age, they were the winners of these competitions!

What do we offer?

• Free physics education for students of grades 8-11.
• The equivalent of a full-time study in physics according to the program of the best physics and mathematics lyceums of Ukraine together with leading teachers and scientists. The program of the school is fully coordinated with the program of study of physics in specialized schools in Ukraine. It is based on our methods of teaching and training from experienced teachers of our school and corresponds to the level of physics and mathematics schools.
• The possibility of in-depth study of physics and going beyond the school curriculum.
• Study of “non-dry” physics with a scientific approach and the opportunity to communicate with practicing scientists.
• Additional development of the necessary mathematical apparatus.
• Solving Olympiad-level problems.
• The possibility of communication with a wide range of students throughout Ukraine.

Format

How is the program structured? Classes at the school will be held in parallel for students of different levels (grades 8-11). The teaching of the course from each parallel necessarily begins with an in-depth repetition of the material of the previous year and mastering the necessary mathematical apparatus. The teaching of each of the topics begins with the basic material, definitions, and laws, and goes into solving problems of an increasingly complex level and linking them to other topics.

Where will the classes be held? The school will be held online on the Zoom platform. It is not necessary to install the application – you can also join through a web browser.

When do classes start? The school has already begun at the beginning of July 2022 and will last approximately 5 months. Classes are held three times a week at 18.00 Kyiv time. The approximate duration of the lesson is 1.5 astronomical hours. However, the creative process is irregular, and if there is a need for longer communication, we will continue it with everyone who wants to.
Starting from September, the start time of classes may be changed in connection with the beginning of the educational process in regular schools.

How will the classes be held? This school is optional. Attending classes is free – you can join and leave classes at any time. Students can register for any parallel if there is a desire to fill in the gaps in some previous topics, or learn about topics that will be studied at the end of the 11th grade. In addition to face-to-face classes, students will regularly receive homework.

How much does studying cost? The school is free! But everyone is welcome to support our teachers:

Who is this school for?

The school is primarily aimed at students in grades 8-11 who were forced to leave their homes due to the war or are under occupation. And also for all those who, for one reason or another, do not have the opportunity to receive a high-quality education in the physical and mathematical profile. Even though the school’s teachers work in lyceums in the cities of Kherson and Kharkiv, the school is open to all students interested in physics.

Since the lessons are free to attend, the student can move to a higher or lower level at any time, depending on the student’s preparation. We do not divide into grades by age – only by level of knowledge.

Lessons schedule

Classes will be held on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 6 p.m. Kyiv time.
