About international schools in Russia
International schools in Russia are clustered mostly in larger cities such as Moscow and Saint Petersburg and typically offer English-medium programmes alongside Russian-language or bilingual options. Common curricula include the English National Curriculum leading to IGCSE/A-levels, the International Baccalaureate, and US-style or Russian-accredited international programmes, with choice and delivery varying by school. Published annual tuition varies widely between institutions and locations; in major cities published fees commonly sit in the mid-hundreds of thousands of roubles but individual schools range from lower five-figure amounts up to and above one million roubles a year. Admissions are usually centred on an August/September intake but many schools operate rolling or mid-year entry, and most require an application form, previous reports, an assessment or interview and proof of residency or visa status.

Curricula
There are 24 international schools in Russia covering 22 curricula. The most widely offered are British Curriculum (14), Bespoke Curriculum (9), Cambridge A Levels (8), French Curriculum (6), Cambridge IGCSE (6). If your child may move countries again, an internationally-portable curriculum (IB, or Cambridge/British) keeps options open; if you're likely to settle, a curriculum matching your home or target university system can be the better fit.

Admissions & timing

How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Russia we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
