About international schools in Russia

CBSE and other Indian-curriculum schools in Russia are a small, community-focused group that typically follow the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) / NCERT syllabus used in India and aim to preserve continuity for families returning to or maintaining links with the Indian system. Instruction is usually delivered in English, with Hindi or other Indian languages offered alongside Russian language lessons to help children settle locally. Fees vary a great deal depending on whether a school is embassy- or community-run (modest, often a few thousand US dollars a year) or a private international provider in Moscow (where international school tuition commonly runs much higher), so check each school’s published schedule. Admissions and the academic calendar can differ: many CBSE programmes abroad follow the April - March CBSE session, but individual schools in Russia may adapt to local start dates and Russian registration rules, so planning paperwork, visas, medical records and language-testing requirements well in advance is essential for relocating families.

FAQs for Russia

How does a CBSE / Indian-curriculum school differ from the Russian state system or international programmes like IB?
CBSE follows the Indian national syllabus and assessment patterns (including the NCERT framework) rather than the Russian state curriculum or international frameworks such as the IB. Teaching is typically subject-based with board examinations at the end of Classes X and XII; schools emphasise English-medium instruction with prescribed CBSE syllabuses and exam formats, which can simplify transitions back to schools in India but may require extra local-language study for integration into Russian higher education or local schools.
What language(s) will my child be taught in, and will they learn Russian?
Most CBSE schools abroad teach primarily in English and offer Hindi or other Indian languages as part of the curriculum, while Russian is commonly taught as a second language or as part of local-language support. The level of Russian-language instruction and the availability of bilingual classes vary by school, so ask about the language programme and whether additional Russian tuition or immersion support is provided for newcomers.
How much do CBSE / Indian-curriculum schools in Russia typically charge?
Fees vary widely: embassy- or community-run Indian schools often charge relatively modest tuition (on the order of a few thousand US dollars per year), whereas independent international schools in Moscow that may offer Indian curricula or similar international programmes can charge substantially more. Always request the full fee schedule (tuition, registration, examination, transport, meals and extras) and whether charges are quoted per term or per year before you commit.
When should we apply, and do CBSE schools accept mid-year transfers?
Application windows differ by school: CBSE’s own academic session commonly runs April to March, but many schools in Russia operate on local calendars that start in September, and local Russian schools use set enrolment windows for first grade. Mid-year transfers are common in international and CBSE schools, but placement, subject coverage and board registration (for Classes 9 - 12) need to be checked with the school early so records and exam-registration requirements are handled correctly.
What practical checks should relocating parents make before choosing a CBSE school in Russia?
Confirm the school’s CBSE affiliation and whether it is a registered examination centre for Classes X and XII, check local licensing or registration with Russian authorities, and review recent academic calendars and sample reports to understand assessment and term dates. Also verify admissions documentation requirements (passports, residence/visa status, previous school records and health certificates), language support for non-Russian speakers, teacher qualifications, and the school’s policy on recognition of certificates for university entry in India, Russia or elsewhere.
