Unforgettable sea vacation!
Clean beaches and unique nature

We believe that in Arkutino children have a memorable sea vacation where the interactive English language education is combined with creating special attitude towards nature preservation, lots of games, sports, cultural tourism, and making new friends.

In July 2012 we plan to gather again 100 of our young friends in two sessions of 50 each. We guarantee the same high standards of teaching English in a modern building, in a casual atmosphere, the scent of the sea and lots of fun.

Registration will be opened in early February at the special website of the School:

Arts and creativity
 

Arkutino is a place to feel art, make art, enjoy art and just be creative. The Center opens the doors to individuals from all backgrounds to develop and enhance their creative abilities and interests through access to a wide range of art forms including music, film, photography, video, painting, and public art. It also provides a wide and distinctive range of services to professional artists.

Some of the educational and participative activities offered are specifically targeted to particular groups, i.e. children, young people, people with special needs.

In September 2012 the Center will host the International Violin Master Class conducted by the famous Bulgarian violin player Prof. Mincho Minchev.

Getting kids interested in nature:
The Ropotamo Nature Reseve

Have you ever got back from a much needed summer vacation and you felt you need more NATURE in your life? It's always good to be reminded that nature is incredibly inspiring. Even if there are Green Schools and Outdoor Classroom workshops the negative effects of “nature deficit” on today’s children is a well a known problem. We should offer our childrem more oppotunities to feel the sensory world of the forest, colored rocks, sea waves, and wild creatures.

This is all so simple, yet profoundly restorative...
