  Sala Secondary School is a rural municipality school in the Zemgale region. Although we are in a disadvantaged area of the country the school carries out the national curriculum successfully and has good results also at the state level, realizes EU schools development and renovation projects as well as grants projects for teaching progress.
  The school has students with specific needs that are included in everyday work. Last year we realized the accommodation project for disabled people in wheelchairs. Special educational programmes are available for students needing modification in their learning programme.  The school has on going cooperation with the local community, school board, psychologist and social workers.
  Extra-curricular programmes include six- year- old children education in cooperation with local kindergarten.
  We have not taken part in Comenius projects so far, but we have a short national and international experience for European Club (organized 3 years ago for 8 to 12 grade students). The purpose of the Club is to widen knowledge about Europe and the European Union by using interactive events for its members, other students and as well as the local community. European Day in May and a Week of European Languages (the end of September) are widely organized in the school.
  The Club cooperates with other European clubs in Latvia and EU. With reference to the topics of annual European years we provided set of activities. The last three International Meetings of European Clubs in Poland and collaboration with Schuman Foundation were a very great experience and accent of this.
  This planned Comenius project will reinforce the European dimension at our school education, will encourage transnational cooperation between chosen schools and improve professional development of staff directly involved in the school education sector, promote the learning of languages and intercultural awareness.
