About international schools in Russia

British-curriculum international schools in Russia are concentrated in Moscow and Saint Petersburg and generally follow the English National Curriculum adapted for international cohorts, commonly preparing students for IGCSE/GCSE and A-level or Cambridge International qualifications. Teaching is delivered mainly in English, with structured Russian-language pathways for native speakers and English-as-an-Additional-Language (EAL) support for learners joining with limited English. Fees vary widely by city and provider: in Moscow full-time international programmes most often sit in the region of around RUB 1 - 3 million per year, while in Saint Petersburg published tuition commonly ranges from roughly RUB 600,000 to RUB 2 million, with smaller cities and bilingual providers tending to be cheaper. Most schools operate a September - June academic year with a primary September intake and more limited mid-year (January or rolling) places, so families should start applications several months ahead and check practical details such as invoicing currency, payment terms and visa/residency requirements before committing.

FAQs for Russia

What does “British curriculum” mean in a Russian international school context?
It usually means the school follows the English National Curriculum structure (Key Stages), delivered in English and tailored to an international cohort, with external exams at the end of lower secondary (IGCSE/GCSE) and upper secondary (A-levels or Cambridge International). Some schools run the national English syllabus alongside Russian national elements, so check which awarding body (Cambridge, Pearson/Edexcel or UK exam boards) the school uses for exams.
How much should I budget for tuition and extra costs?
Published annual tuition at British-curriculum schools in Moscow most commonly falls between about RUB 1 - 3 million, while in Saint Petersburg published figures more often sit between roughly RUB 600,000 and RUB 2 million; individual school price lists show what is included. Families should also budget for application or registration fees, deposits, uniforms, meals, school transport, extracurricular clubs and exam or textbook charges, and confirm whether invoices are issued in roubles and the school’s payment terms.
What ages and qualifications are offered?
Most British international schools in Russia cover the full range from early years/nursery through to Year 13 (roughly ages 2 - 18), organised into Key Stages and finishing with IGCSE/GCSEs and A-levels or equivalent Cambridge/Edexcel qualifications for university entry. Check each school’s published age range and whether they run a continuous pathway to Year 13, since some campuses or smaller schools stop earlier.
When should I apply and how do admissions typically work?
The main intake is for the northern-hemisphere school year starting in September, so begin enquiries and the application process several months in advance; many schools also offer a smaller January intake or in-year places where space exists. Admissions commonly require recent school reports, references, passport and immunisation documents, an assessment or interview for the child and payment of an application/registration fee and deposit if offered a place.
Will my child be taught in English and what language support exists?
Yes - British-curriculum schools teach primarily in English, and most publish formal EAL (English as an Additional Language) provision to help non-native speakers access the curriculum while they develop proficiency. Russian is normally offered either as a first-language track for native speakers or as a modern foreign language, so check how the school separates native and non-native Russian learners and what ongoing language support or bilingual options are available.
