The Dandelion School currently has a capacity of over 700 pupils. Approximately 85% of school funding is provided by charities and private donors. The school has a very positive atmosphere, competent staff and produces excellent results. Classrooms and dorms were initially located in an abandoned factory building renovated for the purpose.
In 2019, a new campus was established nearby, replacing the old one with well-equipped school and boarding facilities. The design of the new campus represents an outstanding contribution by the volunteers. Every facility has a unique name chosen by its donors, and behind each name lies a beautiful story of love and growth. From the first day they arrive on campus, the school provides a welcoming, safe and nurturing environment for students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds.
