Padise Põhikool

I am coming from a small primary and secondary school called Padise Põhikool which is located in the small village of Padise, approximately 50 kilometers to the southwest of Tallinn. The school has approximatley 80 students grades 1 to 9. The website is as follows: http://www.padise.edu.ee . My email address is kvonramm@gmail.com.

I have just this year joined the school as an English teacher and can say that international exposure is not very strong at the school. I am an American now working full time at Padise Manor Hotel and Restaurant (www.padisemois.ee), located a stone's throw from the school and have started teaching at Padise Põhikool as the opportunity and need arose at the school. So I suppose my assignment as a teacher has created an international dimension for the school.

I absolutely think there is a lot of opportunity to develop English speaking international programs for the school. I would say all the projects which were described in the original section seem like great opportunities, as a first step student exchanges and an eTwinning project would be a major leap and opportunity for the children of Padise village.

See you next week!

Kind Regards,
