Tyumen Theological School
– Father Tikhon, a new academic year is starting at your theological school. Tell us about how the admission of applicants to Tyumen religious school.
– 27 applications were submitted to the Admissions Committee. The bulk were applicants from our diocese, many children came from the Khanty-Mansiysk diocese, there are applicants from Kazakhstan, Krasnoyarsk, Yamal, Sverdlovsk region, Khakassia. Regional geography is represented very widely. Admission of applicants took place in two streams. The first ended on August 19, 18 students were enrolled. By August 30, seven more petitions had been filed. Total Selection committee enrolled 25 people for 1 course. Of course we have a lot of work to do.
as is usually the case with a new technique. The guys come very heterogeneous in their mass - both in terms of academic performance and behavior. Speaking of behavior, I mean that many people do not have the basic skills of self-service, cultural behavior, they do not have sufficient upbringing.
All this is to be corrected in the educational process of the 1st half of the year. Separately, I want to say about the performance. This year, six good students came to us, and most of the applicants confirmed the satisfactory level of their certificates. We divided the course into 2 classes in order to provide differentiated training for better preparation for the Unified State Exam.
– What goals do you set for yourself, carrying out the educational process in the theological school?
– Traditionally, in the Filofeyevsky school, as in any other theological school in Russia in the last 200 years, a two-fold goal is set: to educate and educate a person. It is clear that at the present stage these goals are being concretized. We put high-quality, competitive education at the forefront. But we do not need an educated and knowledgeable immoral savage. A young person must be formed as a moral person, having an Orthodox worldview, which will help him make the right choice in various, sometimes difficult life situations. Therefore, the entire educational process in the school is subordinated to this goal: this is a strict daily routine, higher requirements for discipline than in ordinary secular schools, this is an intense academic life.
– Your educational institution gives a complete secondary education along with the spiritual? How do you manage to combine the two programs?
– Indeed, in two years our pupils master two programs: general education and spiritual. There are no problems here, the schedule combines both secular and spiritual disciplines. Of course, the guys are somewhat busier with their studies than their peers in the world, but is that a bad thing? The educational standard in secular disciplines is fully maintained, the quality of preparation for USE high. From the first week of study, we are introducing additional classes in the Russian language and mathematics for 1st and 2nd year students. Later, from week 2, on the 2nd year, individual additional classes in other subjects are added. This is, in fact, tutoring within the walls of the school. We have been conducting such classes for the fifth year now, and the result is obvious. If in 2009 we passed the Unified State Exam with an average score of 45.5, then in 2012 - with a score of 59.7. In all four years, our graduates have always overcome the minimum threshold in the main subjects, all received certificates. And this year's graduates pleased us with high scores, for example, in physics, the Russian language, mathematics, history, social science, chemistry, and biology. Four people scored in these subjects from 72 to 90 points. All this allowed almost all graduates to enter prestigious universities for state-funded departments.
- Where do graduates go?
– Seven people wished to continue their spiritual education at the Tobolsk Theological Seminary. This is a third of graduates. The rest went to secular universities. First of all, this is the Tyumen State University: faculties of physics, chemistry, law. This and others Tyumen universities: construction academy, academy of culture and arts, oil and gas university, agricultural academy. All were admitted to state-funded places. Among our graduates of last year there are also students medical academy. In other cities, too, there are our "state employees": in Irkutsk state university at the Department of Political Science, Nizhnevartovsk State humanitarian university and other universities in Russia, including in Moscow.
In general, we maintain warm relations with graduates even after they graduate. For some who are in dire need of housing, we provide the opportunity to live and eat while studying at Tyumen universities within the walls of the college dormitory.
How do your pupils spend their leisure time?
Every month we have an academic day. These days we try to take the children to nature or to a sanatorium - to the pool. We often go to the drama theater - we have our own drama circle. We often travel to holy places. The choir of the school constantly makes missionary trips to Tyumen region. We also have an information technology circle, the pupils themselves publish the Dobroslov newspaper. Well, in general, the guys do not get bored, every day is busy with studies, obediences, singing. Many people spend their evenings in the gym.
– Do you accept applicants during the academic year?
– This issue requires an individual approach in each case of admission. Enrollment is possible with the blessing of the Archbishop of Tobolsk and Tyumen Dimitri.
