Children from 10 years old

High school

High school is the next stage in the study of the Russian language, literature and culture, when children are ready not only to learn, but also to explore, reason, create their own projects and express their thoughts in Russian.

Curriculum and Teaching

Our secondary school curriculum combines elements of educational programmes from schools abroad with those from schools offering an in-depth study of the Russian language.

Our classes are made up of children who have been studying at our school from an early age, as well as new pupils wishing to continue or begin learning Russian. Classes are formed according to pupils’ proficiency in Russian, so the curriculum and pace of learning are tailored to each group.

At this stage, pupils become more independent and are ready to work hard, not only in class but also at home. We gradually increase the amount of independent reading, written assignments, research and project work.

Russian Language, Literature and Speech Development

We offer not only Russian language lessons, but also engaging lessons in literature and speech development.

We read a lot at home, and at school we discuss what we have read: we analyse the plot, the characters and their actions; we learn to identify the author’s intent; we debate and put forward arguments to support our views. The children keep reading diaries, learn to articulate their own thoughts and gradually move from simple retellings to a full-fledged literary analysis.

This approach helps children not only to expand their vocabulary and improve their speaking skills, but also to develop critical thinking, the ability to analyse texts, engage in discussion and express their opinions in a reasoned manner. These skills are particularly important for further education and exam preparation.

Projects, creativity and research

Creative and research projects play a special role in our work.

We study ancient culture, analyse literary works, visit museums and develop our own projects. The children not only gain knowledge, but also learn to seek out information independently, work with sources, present their ideas and showcase the results of their work to an audience.

Over the years at the school, our pupils have created many interesting projects and works of art. They have compiled their research, prepared presentations, spoken in front of the class and taken part in collaborative creative projects.

Music, theatre and performances

Many of our pupils take part in musical drama classes. We stage plays, sing, prepare concert programmes and perform in front of an audience.

Theatre and music activities help children to develop their talents, become more confident, learn to work as a team and, most importantly, to use the Russian language vividly and naturally — in communication, creative work and performances.

We learn not only to know the Russian language, but also to live in Russian

For us, secondary school is a space where the Russian language becomes a tool for reading, thinking, creativity, exploration and communication.

We want our pupils not just to have a good command of the Russian language, but to feel confident in a Russian-speaking cultural environment, to love literature, and to be able to reason, create and freely express their thoughts.

Join us — let’s read, explore, create, perform and discover the richness of the Russian language and culture!
