The last bell rang at the City of the Sun school on the 30th anniversary.

On May 23, the last call for graduates took place at the City of the Sun private school. The solemn ceremony, which included raising the flag and singing the national anthem, was held in accordance with the procedure established by the Ministry of Education. In 2026, the holiday coincided with the 30th anniversary of the educational institution, which was opened as a Spanish school in 1996.

"At the moment, the school has a very interesting teaching staff, which is aimed at unlocking the potential of each student," explained Elena Tarasova, director of the City of the Sun comprehensive private school.

Traditions are carefully preserved in the "City of the Sun": every week they talk about important historical dates, and sometimes lessons are held right in the park. Many graduates do not want to leave, and some return to the holiday years later.

"11 years have generally flown by unnoticed. And such a nice team. It's very sad to part with everyone. We hope that we will keep in touch," said one of the students.

Another graduate admitted that she was not worried, as she still had to prepare for the Unified State Exam, and thanked her for these years.
