Parent Experience

History
LIKO-school began in Kyiv's Golosiiv district in the 2010s as part of a growing 'city within a city'—LIKO-grad—guided by its future leader, Olena Kukharevska. Her dream to become director came true after a phone call and interview, leading to the creation of a modern educational space. In 2014, amid war and uncertainty, the primary school opened, with students arriving from Kyiv, Donetsk, and Luhansk; many had difficult experiences, and their parents—'people from the 90s'—sought to give children what they themselves had been deprived of. In 2018 a technological Lyceum emerged, and LIKO-school grew into a large educational ecosystem with more than 700 students, Cambridge education, 42 development studios, STEAM and project-based learning, and LEO online education. The LIKO-school has always been about people—preparing students to take responsibility for their choices, blending Ukrainian identity with global thinking, and learning throughout life.

Community
LIKO-School maintains an active community with events and programs that involve families. News items include an Open Day recounting how it was, Red Cross volunteers contributing to LIKO activities, and Liko Dance performers who stood out at ProFest. These events illustrate the school's culture of service, creativity, and student leadership. The community also features a broad range of extracurricular options, including the SportLiko program with eight disciplines: football, basketball, artistic gymnastics, Greco-Roman wrestling, Kyokushin karate, judo, cheerleading, and ballroom dancing.
