The social and philosophical grounds to the role of culturological approach in the national school formation as one of the means of national cultural building is presented in the paper. Sociocultural processes of the modern society and problems of
value orientations, their correlation and mutual enrichment with the notions of «nation» and «ethos» is examined in the article.
