Zavod Antona Martina Slomška

The institution of Anton Martin Slomšek was founded in 1995 with the purpose to establish the grammar school Škofijska gimnazija Antona Slomška under its auspices. The institution of Anton Martin Slomšek contains several organisational units for achieving its purpose: - the grammar school AMS, - a Montessori nursery school, - the residence hall for students AMS, - the music school Glasbena in baletna šola AMS and - an Intergenerational academy and they all operate according to the authoritative programmes. The institution's purpose is to provide a safe and quality residence for the family members of the population's active generations, meaning for preschool children, for students in the process of education or those who are no longer completely independent due to their old age. The co-existence within the institution means the interchange of generations' experiences and needs which could contribute to a high level of an active, creative and quality life. With this concept, the institution is opening a new model of the educational and social approach that represents the answer to the social problems concerning the alienation of the older generation from the flow of life and the young generation from the roots of the past. To this end, we are developing and fostering our own intergenerational pedagogy and social welfare. The institution has recently been developing modern approaches of teaching, including the usage of the interactive boards and has been spreading them throughout the Slovenian territory. In 2011, we began implementing a 1:1 pedagogy in our classes. Now, our experience is transferred to the 10 Slovenian schools that began with the pedagogy of 1:1.
