"Ukrainian Path": Free Learning of Ukrainian History and Literature for Ukrainians Abroad

“Ukrainian Path” is an educational initiative by the distance school Optima in collaboration with the Charitable Foundation “Children’s Future”. This is a unique educational program created for Ukrainian children living abroad. The program aims to preserve and support national identity, language, culture, and connection with the homeland.

“Ukrainian Path” is a digital educational platform that offers free instruction in key subjects from the Ukrainian school curriculum:

●    Ukrainian Literature and History of Ukraine (for grades 1–11).
●    Ukrainian Language – a basic (introductory) one-year distance learning course for children and adults.
●    External Studies (exams-only format) for children living abroad, with the opportunity to receive official Ukrainian secondary education documents, even if the child does not hold Ukrainian citizenship.

The program is designed for children who:
●    live outside Ukraine;
●    study in local schools;
●    wish to maintain a connection with Ukrainian culture, language, and history.

The learning takes place on the Optima distance school platform using modern interactive methods: video and audio materials, quizzes, 3D animations, and educational games.

For younger students, there are engaging educational cartoons with tasks, while older students have access to infographics, interactive exercises, and video lessons.

“Ukrainian Path” is a unique opportunity for Ukrainian families living abroad to provide their children with high-quality Ukrainian education and maintain a strong link with their native language, history, and cultural heritage.
