Take a tour around the world's most unique schools.

Classrooms inside airplane wrecks, in mountain caves, underground, or schools that have only had male students once every hundred years, including floating schools in Vietnam... these are some of the unique and unusual educational facilities that have been and are currently operating around the world.

The school... inside the wreckage of an airplane.

This is the innovative idea of ​​the headmaster, Gari Chapidze. He transformed an old Yakolev-42 passenger plane into a unique classroom for preschool children in the city of Rustavi, southeastern Georgia.

Gari Chapidze is the initiator of the classrooms located inside aircraft wrecks.

The old airplane was purchased from Tbilisi Airport and transported to the city of Rustavi. There, it was refurbished, upgraded, and transformed into an ideal school for preschool children. In this unusual classroom, young students can play, have fun, and even role-play as pilots with over 1,500 real buttons on the airplane's control panel.

In addition, children can develop their vivid imaginations by interacting with the clock faces and the magical scenery from the airplane window. According to teachers, letting children play on an airplane helps them develop their intelligence and gain a better understanding of technical matters.

This is a special class for kindergarten students.

The school has only had one male student in 120 years.

Founded in 1892, Norland College is renowned worldwide for producing skilled, well-mannered nannies with exceptional abilities in childcare. These nannies typically care for the children of royalty, celebrities, and the wealthy and business elite around the globe.

Michael Kenny is the only male nanny at the nanny training school.

Currently, this school has a very special "male nanny." That is Michael Kenny (19 years old). His participation in the entrance exam and acceptance into this specialized nanny training school has made Michael the first and only male student to attend the school in over 120 years since its founding.

Gulu Cliff Primary School

Gulu is a small village located in the mountainous Hanyuan region of Sichuan Province, China. The only way to reach the village is via Luoma, a narrow, winding path between stone walls and rickety bridges.

The path winds along the Gulu cliffs.

Nestled among the mountains is Gulu Village Elementary School, established in the late 1980s and run by a single teacher, Shen Qijun. He arrived in Gulu Village as an 18-year-old boy. At that time, the school was in terrible condition and didn't even have a water system.

Despite the difficulties, the students here never miss a single class.

After a student fell and was injured while trying to use the restroom, Teacher Shen mobilized the villagers to build a toilet. The school also has a basketball court made from discarded blackboards. However, students must be careful when playing because the ball could fall down the cliff at any time.

Abo Underground Elementary School

Abo Elementary School proudly boasts being the first underground elementary school in America. During the height of the Cold War, when nuclear war was imminent, U.S. President John F. Kennedy promised to establish public and private facilities to serve as shelters from radioactive fallout. Thus, Abo Elementary School was born.

The school is located entirely underground with a playground built on the roof. It has three different entrances, each protected by a steel door weighing up to 800 kg. The school is also equipped with decontamination showers, radiation shields, and systems capable of withstanding a 20 million-ton explosion.

Even stranger, the school also had a morgue, a food storage facility, and a special ventilation system. Fortunately, the school never had to use these things. By 1995, Abo Elementary School closed due to the exorbitant cost of maintenance.

School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Salem, USA

It sounds crazy, but 40,000 students have enrolled at the wizarding school in Salem, Massachusetts, USA. Previously, the school was located in Roseville, Chicago. However, due to criticism from local residents and extremist actions such as protests and throwing holy water on cars, they had to move to Salem. Fortunately, Salem is quite friendly, so they haven't encountered many problems.

Container School, Amsterdam, Netherlands

The school was built using shipping containers.

The "De kleine kapitein" nursery in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is considered one of a kind in the world. While its exterior is decorated in cheerful colors, the nursery is constructed entirely from industrial shipping containers, a common sight in Amsterdam – one of the world's largest seaports.

The design creates a fresh and novel experience for the students here.

Floating school, Ha Long Bay, Vietnam

In Ha Long Bay (Quang Ninh, Vietnam), there are floating villages where people mainly live on boats and only come ashore for trade. This explains why there are floating schools built on large boats. These schools were established to meet the educational needs of the children of local fishermen, who traditionally prefer living on the water.
