About international schools in Kyiv, Ukraine

International schools in Kyiv span English-medium international programmes (International Baccalaureate, British Cambridge and American-style curricula) as well as bilingual Ukrainian - English models that combine international syllabuses with national requirements. English is the most common language of instruction, while schools typically teach Ukrainian and other modern languages (French, German, Spanish) and some use CLIL bilingual approaches. Annual fees vary widely across the city: directories and school fee schedules show a broad band of charges with a median in the mid-tens of thousands of hryvnia and many schools publishing specific year-by-year tariffs and extra charges such as registration or capital-fund fees. Admissions normally follow the September academic year and involve an inquiry, paperwork, placement testing and an interview or trial day, but families should contact schools early and confirm current entry windows and any temporary arrangements because operations and fee policies have been adjusted since 2022.

FAQs for Ukraine

What kinds of curricula will my child find in Kyiv’s international schools?
You will commonly find the International Baccalaureate (IB) at primary and secondary levels, British (Cambridge IGCSE/A-Level) programmes, American-style international curricula, and locally developed bilingual programmes that combine English-medium instruction with Ukrainian national subjects. Some schools offer Advanced Placement (AP) options or bespoke mixes tailored to expatriate and local families, so check each school’s published programme list and diploma pathways.
What language(s) of instruction are used?
Most international schools in Kyiv teach primarily in English, while offering Ukrainian lessons and other modern languages such as French, German and Spanish; several schools operate true bilingual (Ukrainian - English) streams using CLIL methods. Language provision and the balance between English and Ukrainian vary by school and by age group, so review the school’s language policy and scope for mother-tongue support.
How much should I expect to pay for tuition and extra costs?
Tuition levels vary considerably: recent directory summaries and individual school fee schedules show a wide range with a median figure in the mid-tens of thousands of hryvnia and many schools quoting annual fees that fall well above or below that median. Schools commonly publish separate charges for application/registration, capital or development funds, transport, meals and extracurriculars, so request an up-to-date fee schedule and a sample invoice before committing.
When should we apply and what is the usual admissions process?
The school year in Kyiv typically begins in September; admissions usually start several months earlier and follow a sequence of enquiry, submission of records, placement testing or assessment and an interview or trial day. Timelines and available places differ by school and by year group, so initiate contact with admissions early, ask for the school’s current enrolment timetable and confirm whether waiting lists or mid-year entry are possible.
Should I be concerned about safety or operational changes when moving to Kyiv with school-age children?
Since February 2022 many schools have adapted their operations, including temporary online provision, modified timetables and changes to campus access; some schools explicitly publish contingency and continuity plans and have adjusted fees or services in response to the security situation. Families should ask each school for its current safety, continuity and remote-learning policies, transport and on-campus security measures, and for details on how pastoral and mental-health support is provided.
