The Krivan basic school is situated in the splendid Podpolanie region in Slovakia. This region is known for its unique folklore.

The school consists of five buildings. The 1st grade building, the 2nd grade building, gymnasium with workshops, the school canteen and flats for teachers. The school ground includes also a garden, a schoolyard and a large  park. 

The whole school ground is protected by a fence. It is a ideal environment for a peaceful school life. Pupils are not disturbed by the noise from the outside since the school lies far from the main roads. They have a large clearance for their actions in the school ground.

When the weather permits and it is warm outside children spend all their time during the main break in the schoolyard. They can enjoy free activities ... 

The school ground is an area covered with lawn and planted with deciduous trees such as birches, willows, rowan trees and limes as well as conifers. The school ground is separated from the road by a row of hedges. In the park there is rock garden, a flowerbed with roses and a statuary by J. Podzimkova-Mrackova.
