Primary school ‘Vasil Levski’

Primary school ‘Vasil Levski’ is one of the oldest schools in the city of Sliven. The construction of the building started in 1907 and it opened doors in the autumn of 1908. Nowadays, the school team still carries with pride and dignity the good name of the school and it’s known for its highest results in the town, for the countless sports awards and for always being in the leading positions of math competitions. The awards from art contests, literature, chess and a wide specter of musical and concert activity are something that we take pride in.

History

The city of Sliven is located in the foot of National park ‘Sinite kamani’. The monuments of the freedom fighters Panayot Hitov and Hadji Dimitar are among the symbols of the town.

In 1907 under the guide of the teacher and public man Iliya Grudev started the construction of the school building. It’s finished during the summer of 1908 and it opened with the name ‘General Konstantin Kisyakov’.

 The newly-found school had 10 compartments with 10 teachers. The number of the compartments and teachers have been changed over the years. In 1954 the students were 363. The same year, a new name of the school was chosen– ‘Vasil Levski’. In 1980, under the pressure of changes in the educational system, the school was closed and combined with 3rd Junior high school.

 

The school building was announced for a cultural heritage in 1988.

In 1993 Primary school ‘Vasil Levski’ opened doors again with Nikolay Kadirev as a school principal. Since 2020 the role of a school principal has been taken over by Petya Taneva.

In the current school year (2020/2021) we have 272 students split into 12 classes from I to IV (7-10 years old) grade with 19 teachers in total.
