  • IMG_0011 RUSSIA. Western Siberia. Novosibirsk. 2015. Children at the gym of the Franciscan Catholic Scool. It opened its doors in 1994. It is one of 24 private schools in the city and one of two Catholic Schools in the Russian Federation. Fra Guido Trezzani, the pastor of Immaculate Conception Parish, began the school in response to the expressed wishes of parents anxious to provide for their children a quality education inspired by Christianity and the Franciscan vision of life. In addition to the required core curriculum, the school offers complementary elective courses in art, languages, music and culture. There is also a program of computer learning in the school. At the heart of the School is education for human, moral and Christian values. Education in Russian culture is highly valued.
