American Curriculum International Schools in Russia

American-curriculum international schools in Russia offer US-style K - 12 programmes taught largely in English, often leading to an American high-school diploma and sometimes offering Advanced Placement (AP) courses or North American standards such as Common Core/AERO. These schools commonly pair English-medium teaching with structured Russian language classes (and occasionally parallel Russian-stream options), and are concentrated in Moscow and St Petersburg though smaller providers exist elsewhere. Annual tuition varies widely by provider and year group, with listings showing everything from lower-cost local international options to schools charging into the higher hundreds of thousands or millions of roubles once extras are included, and additional costs such as meals, transport, uniforms and exam fees are frequently billed separately. Admissions typically require a completed application, past school records, an English screening or placement test and an interview, with the main intake timed for a September start and places sometimes allocated or tested in spring and summer; relocating families should also plan for the paperwork that Russian authorities and schools commonly require (passports, visa/residence documentation and medical records).
