Co-founder of the Park Lake City project Andriy Mischenko clarified during a press conference at the Interfax-Ukraine agency, negotiations with the British International School began even before the start of the full-scale invasion.

“The war pushed back our plans, but did not stop them. The first step of our cooperation is the construction of the kindergarten and primary school Early Years Academy, which will start next year,” he said.

He clarified that the infrastructure of the VITA quarter includes its own kindergarten, primary, middle and high schools, campuses for teachers and children.

“While there is a war, which was preceded by a two-year global pandemic, we believe it is extremely important to provide children with a world-class education, which is provided by certified international teachers from BISU. Some of them remained with us in Ukraine. School and education have become unique symbols of resistance to Russian aggression. Our students is the growing generation that will restore the country, the nation and guide it to prosperity,” said Olena Tovkun, member of the supervisory board and chairman of the BISU admissions committee.
