The International Primary School - Insight School is the oldest international school in St Petersburg has been operating since 2001. Originally, the school was created so that English-speaking children of expatriate parents in Saint Petersburg could receive the same education as if they were in England. The UK national curriculum allows each child to continue the education process in the UK or any British school in the world. The well-established UK National Curriculum is used throughout the school. The curriculum uses a program of study that any UK school will be familiar with, using textbooks and widely recognized resources that would be found in any UK Primary School). The supervision and guidance of ‘The UK National Curriculum (EYFS, KS1 &KS2)’ are by the Education Consultancy @school-in-UK Ltd led by an experienced past Headmaster and ISI Inspector. Lessons are monitored and children’s learning and progress are rigorously assessed using Standardised tests used throughout the UK. This enables pupils to seamlessly continue their studies wherever the British Education system is used. Insight International School teachers are fully native English speakers with extensive experience. Classes are of mixed nationality so Russian pupils and children of expatriate parents who do not speak Russian study together. We communicate only in English throughout the school day. This encourages pupils to quickly master the English language and effectively learn through the medium of English all elements of the UK National Curriculum. The traditional four weeks of additional study in England by pupils of Insight International School at St John’s School, Sidmouth is of immense value. Children live in carefully selected local cottages a short distance from the school in the quintessential English seaside town in East Devon. On school days they study besides their English counterparts fully immersed in all lessons. They also participate in the extensive after-school extra-curricula program. The weekend program includes visiting places of historical and cultural interest, as well as famous sights and entertainment venues. The time in England improves language skills immeasurably as well as giving children unforgettable memories. In addition to the development of academic abilities and a unique level of English, we allow pupils to develop their intellectual, creative, emotional, and physical talents. Included in our curriculum are chess, French, History of St Petersburg, judo, athletics, singing, mental mathematics, speech therapy, art, choreography, drama, skiing, football, and PSHE. Theatre arts are an integral part of the curriculum at Insight International School. Drama lessons contribute to the full development of the individual with children gaining confidence and poise as a result. Lessons enable children to speak in public with confidence. Lessons also contribute significantly to the English speaking skills of children. The result of the lessons is spectacular musical performances held on stage at The Music Hall Theatre in St Petersburg. All our pupils participate in the performances during which they demonstrate their vocal, dancing and acting talents. The school is located in a beautiful park on the banks of the river. Children enjoy clean air and are surrounded by a natural environment. Children enjoy two daily walking sessions, outdoor sports, and a Physical Education program. Substantial and healthy meals are served four times a day using fresh ingredients. We do not use convenience foods and meals are prepared on-site. View full school

Hinkson Christian Academy (HCA) is the English language elementary and secondary school located in Moscow, Russia. For over 20 years, Hinkson has served the needs of ex-pat and local families who desire their children to receive a quality English-language education that is informed by a Christian worldview and values Christian character principles. Hinkson is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International, whose accreditation is recognized worldwide. In the fall of 1991 New Life Christian School in Moscow, Russia began as a Christian school designed to meet the educational needs of local Campus Crusade for Christ families. It began with nineteen children and three teachers in a classroom rented from a Russian school. An independent study program was largely used because of the diversity of grade levels (grades 1-9). In the fall of 1992, the school had grown to 32 children and we were able to rent three classrooms from our host Russian school, #1106. We had four full-time teachers, one full-time aide, and two part-time aides. With the addition of more teachers and classrooms, we were able to offer a more traditional Christian education curriculum rather than an independent study program. After months of prayer and preparation, God abundantly blessed capital fundraising efforts and we began the process of purchasing our new facility. The summer of 2000 saw the “big move” – only 3 weeks before school began – but with the united effort, we began on time. With the larger facility, we have been able to add new programs – ESL, Resource Education, and a limited Korean education program for our Korean students. Enrollment grew to a high of over 200 students per year and over 60 full and part-time staff. In the spring of 2007, HCA completed a two-year process and was accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International. The 2008-2009 school year brought new challenges with a drop in enrollment as a result of the changing demographics in Moscow. Visa laws, rising costs, and the nationalizing of staff brought a reduction in the number of expert Christian workers serving in Russia. Although the majority of its students remain children of Christian workers, HCA broadened its ministry to include more of the Christian business and embassy community in Moscow. Throughout its history, God has continued to bless HCA to become one of the best MK schools in Europe. View full school

Moscow Economic School! Our school, or as it is often called, MES, is a private, non-governmental, IB World School. Founded as a result of democratic changes in our country, MES was the first and has grown into one of the largest private, non-governmental schools in Russia. Today, we have 600 students, boys, and girls from the ages of 3 to 18 years old with over 300 employees. The basis of our progress is our collegial management structure and the active participation of parents and trustees, who are among some of the leading businessmen, scientists, social and political leaders of our country. With their help, we have managed to build a strong strategic aim of development at MES in the direction of using all the best aspects of Russian and international education.

The highest priority is that education must focus on the development of every student’s potential. Members of democratic societies must inherently show respect for the law, the rights of others, and understand the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. The learner-centered approach to education focuses on developing a personality or individual for whom participation in civil society is not an imposed external obligation, but the result of internal motivation and intelligent choices. For graduates, making wise decisions in day-to-day life is of the utmost importance. Education needs to center on the development of students' values, the ability to think creatively and critically, to effectively communicate, and to act decisively in various circumstances with consideration to one’s well-being and the well-being of others. Teaching the «ability to learn» is as important as the subjects themselves. MES is a Russian private school, an IB World School that combines the best elements of Russian and international education.
