Japanese Curriculum International Schools in Russia

Full-time Japanese-medium education in Russia is limited: the Japanese School in Moscow operates as a MEXT-recognised nihonjin gakkō providing elementary and lower-secondary levels, while elsewhere Japanese provision is usually through weekend or supplementary hoshū programmes (for example in Saint Petersburg). These schools follow the Japanese national curriculum and use Japanese as the primary language of instruction, with Russian and English commonly offered as additional languages. Fees vary widely: supplementary weekend schools charge modest term or semester levies, whereas the full-time school in Moscow publishes annual tuition in the mid-six-figure Russian-ruble range. Families relocating to Russia should check the school’s language support, the school year (which follows the Japanese April - March rhythm), visa and residency paperwork, and local healthcare access before committing to enrolment.
