About international schools in Moscow, Russia

Moscow’s international schools form a diverse market that includes British-curriculum schools, International Baccalaureate programmes, French and German national schools and several bilingual Russian - English providers, so families can usually find a pathway that suits short-term expatriates and longer-term residents alike. Instruction in international streams is normally English-dominant while Russian is widely taught at all levels; many schools also offer French, German, Spanish and Mandarin as additional languages. Published annual tuition varies widely: typical fees sit around RUB 1.18 million with most schools publishing figures between roughly RUB 12,000 and RUB 1.65 million, and extra costs for registration, transport, meals and exam entries are common. Admissions cluster around the August/September intake but many schools accept applications year-round and will ask for passport/visa and residence-registration documents plus an assessment or language screening, so start enquiries several months before your planned move and check each school’s exact entry requirements.

FAQs for Russia

What kinds of curricula will my child find in Moscow’s international schools?
You will typically find schools offering the English National Curriculum with IGCSEs and A-levels, the three International Baccalaureate programmes (PYP/MYP/DP), French-system (AEFE/Lycée model) and German national schools, plus locally developed bilingual routes that combine Russian with an international syllabus. Many schools teach more than one programme alongside language support or dual-qualification options, so check individual school profiles for which phases (early years, primary, secondary) use each curriculum.
How much should we budget for international school fees in Moscow?
Fees vary substantially by school and age: published data show a typical annual tuition figure around RUB 1.18 million, with most schools publishing fees in a broad band from about RUB 12,000 to RUB 1.65 million; the full published range runs wider and usually excludes one-off entry fees, deposits and extras. Always ask schools for a complete fee schedule (tuition, registration, transport, meals, uniforms and exam charges) and confirm payment terms before you commit.
What paperwork and residency documents are usually required to enrol a foreign child?
International schools commonly require the child’s passport, parents’ visas or work permits, proof of local address/registration (propiska or similar), previous school records and a medical/vaccination certificate; many documents must be translated and notarised if they are not in Russian. Because immigration and local registration rules affect enrolment, families should confirm visa and registration requirements with their employer or consulate and with the school well before arrival.
When should we apply and will our child need entrance tests or language screening?
Most schools run a major intake for the new school year in August/September but many accept applications and place students during the course of the year; popular schools can have waiting lists, so begin enquiries several months in advance. Admissions processes commonly include an application form, school report/reference, an interview or placement assessment and an English-language screening (and sometimes subject tests), with offers and deposit deadlines set by each school’s admissions office.
What language support can we expect and how much Russian will my child learn?
International streams usually teach core subjects in English while offering Russian language classes for non-native and native speakers at different levels; many schools also provide English as an Additional Language (EAL) support and additional foreign languages such as French, German, Spanish and Mandarin. If maintaining or developing Russian is important, look for schools that advertise structured Russian programmes or bilingual pathways and ask how language levels map to the curriculum and assessment.
