School
Engure Secondary School, the present building was built in 1979. The history of the school goes back to 1806, when J.Brants, a local clergyman, opened a schoolroom for peasants` and fishermen`s children. Since that time tuition was conducted in different buildings in the village. In 1988 the school offered the students a possibility to acquire navigation skills along with the subjects of general secondary education. A hostel for 120 was built in the same year.
New ways of teaching
Engure Secondary School (Latvia) has acquired a certain experience in organizing students` project works which include also a research accomplished by using IT.

Their independent and creative work is based on computer skills acquired at computer lessons which start in Year 7. School has participated in numerous projects since 1997. The school has been participating in the projects of the I*EARN for 4 years. It has been beneficial for a country school to take part in activities that would have been impossible without IT. The students have done national projects, offered by other Latvian schools; international projects:
The Teddy Bear, Folk Tales, Local Birds, Dear world
Our school has also co-ordinated international project 'Computer Graphics', organised a camp for the participants in 1998. The teachers and students have had opportunities to attend international conferences, seminars and summer camps (in the USA, Puerto Rico, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Finland, Hungary, Estonia) thanks to participation in the projects. In the school year 2000/2001 about 190 students took part in 31 different project works. They include I*EARN projects, school projects, This work has resulted in a number of reports, an animation film, a virtual encyclopedia 'People of Our Village', a web page 'Engure'; Our students were working together with other partners, developing a Comenius project 'CINCEN', involving studies of cultural diversity of European countries. This work is carried out together with partners from Portugal, Italy, Great Britain, Bulgaria; 'VIA BALTICA'' is a joint project of three Baltic countries Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
