The Blind Centre
Iben- Sina School is distinguished by its blind centre. The center was established fifteen years ago. Twenty three pupils belong to the centre. The center works according to the integration theory which believes that a blind or visually impaired pupils who have no such problems in order to prepare him/her for "real" life in the future.
A qualified staff works with the pupils in this centre where they get emotional, social and educational support.
The blind and visually impaired pupils work in their "mother" classes. Each pupil gets 2-4 periods of support from one of the four teachers who work in the centre.
Blind students use Brail signs as their way of reading and writing. Visually impaired pupils enlarge their textbooks in order to read better.
The School Library
This is our school library. It was established in the 1980s. The library opens five days a week: Monday to Thursday from 8:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m., and on Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m.
There are many activities in the library. One of them is called "Book Journey" and encourages pupils to read books. At the end of the "journey" students' work and creativity are presented in a festival.
