About international schools in Ukraine

IB international schools in Ukraine form a small, mostly urban group of schools - concentrated in Kyiv - that offer one or more IB programmes rather than a large national network. The programmes you will most commonly find are the Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes, usually taught in English with Ukrainian language provision and, in some schools, additional bilingual or European-language options. Annual fees vary widely by school and by age: in Kyiv international school tuition commonly runs from the low tens of thousands of hryvnia up to several hundred thousand hryvnia a year, with older (DP) years and schools offering full extracurricular and boarding services at the higher end. Schools follow the Ukrainian academic calendar (the school year normally begins on 1 September) and admissions are handled case-by-case - many schools run spring/summer intake cycles and some accept students on a rolling basis, so check each school’s published application steps and availability before you relocate.

FAQs for Ukraine

Which IB programmes are offered and what ages do they cover?
The IB continuum comprises four programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for early years and primary learners, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for roughly ages 11 - 16, and the Diploma Programme (DP) for students aged about 16 - 19; the Career-related Programme (CP) is an option for older students in some schools. Not every school offers the full continuum - some offer only the DP or only primary and middle phases - so confirm authorisation for each programme with the school.
What language(s) of instruction should we expect?
Most IB international schools in Ukraine teach primarily in English while providing Ukrainian language lessons and support; a few schools operate bilingual models or offer additional instruction in European languages such as French. Language provision varies by school and by grade, so ask prospective schools about the language of core subjects, English-as-an-Additional-Language support and how they prepare non-Ukrainian speakers to meet national certification requirements if you want Ukrainian state recognition.
How much do IB international schools in Ukraine cost?
Costs vary a great deal with location, age group and services: in Kyiv annual international-school tuition commonly ranges from the low tens of thousands of hryvnia to several hundred thousand hryvnia, and fees for DP years, specialist facilities or optional services (transport, meals, exams) are frequently additional. Each school publishes a fee schedule and admissions contract with exact amounts, payment schedules and any non-refundable charges, so compare those documents rather than headline figures when budgeting.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process look like?
Schools follow the Ukrainian school calendar (the academic year normally begins on 1 September) and many international schools open places for the next academic year during the spring and summer months, although some accept transfers or new students year-round if space allows. Typical admissions steps include an initial enquiry or visit, submission of records, age-appropriate assessment or interview and a final placement decision; ask each school for its published timeline, deadlines and any testing or language-support expectations.
What should parents look for when comparing IB schools in Ukraine?
Check which IB programmes the school is authorised to teach (a full PYP→MYP→DP continuum matters if you want continuity), the school’s language provision and English-language support, how the DP is resourced and whether the school publishes recent university-placement or DP performance information. Also review pastoral care, safeguarding arrangements and practical details such as campus safety measures, contingency planning and the exact fee and refund terms before you decide.
