About international schools in Ukraine

International schools in Ukraine are concentrated in larger cities (notably Kyiv) and typically offer internationally recognised programmes - most commonly the International Baccalaureate, British (Cambridge/IGCSE and A-levels) and American or Canadian pathways - sometimes delivered alongside a Ukrainian curriculum. Instruction is usually in English, with Ukrainian language programmes or bilingual options provided by many schools and other European languages offered as additional subjects. Annual fees vary widely by school and programme; local listings show typical Kyiv tuition in the equivalent of several thousand euros a year while some senior-school or specialised programmes sit substantially higher. Admissions normally align with a September school year start, with some mid-year intakes and rolling admissions at certain schools, and relocating families should check each school’s language support, accreditation and contingency plans because provision has been disrupted and remains sensitive to local security and operational conditions.

Choosing an international school in Ukraine

Curricula

There are 4 international schools in Ukraine covering 9 curricula. The most widely offered are Bespoke Curriculum (2), Cambridge (Primary) (2), IB (PYP) (1), IB (MYP) (1), IB (DP) (1). 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.

Fees & what they cover

Annual tuition across Ukraine runs from about UAH 1,990 to UAH 384,000, averaging roughly UAH 108,661. Budget for one-off costs on top — application and enrolment fees, a refundable deposit, uniform, transport and exams.

Admissions & timing

Sought-after schools in Ukraine run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.

Boarding

1 of the 4 schools offer boarding — useful if you're relocating or want weekly or full boarding.

How doris stays impartial

doris lists every international school in Ukraine 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.

FAQs for Ukraine

What curricula are commonly available at international schools in Ukraine?
Most international schools offer the International Baccalaureate, British programmes (Cambridge IGCSE and A-levels) and US- or Canadian-style curricula, and some schools combine these with the Ukrainian national curriculum or offer them in parallel so pupils can meet local certification requirements. Offerings vary by school and by campus, so check each school’s accredited programmes and whether it provides the specific pathway you want for secondary qualifications.
Which language(s) are used for teaching?
English is the dominant language of instruction in international schools, but many schools also provide Ukrainian language classes and bilingual streams; historically Russian was more common in some schools, though national policy and practice emphasise Ukrainian. If your child needs mother-tongue or additional language support, ask about structured English as an Additional Language (EAL) programmes and the school’s approach to Ukrainian language and culture.
How much should we budget for tuition and extra costs?
Tuition varies widely depending on the city, age group and programme: local comparisons show typical annual fees in Kyiv around UAH 26,500 with most schools charging between about UAH 12,000 and UAH 344,000, while independent guides put a general planning range for international school fees at several thousand euros to the low-teens of thousands of euros per year. In addition to tuition, expect other charges such as registration or capital fees, activity and exam costs, and fees for bus services, lunches and extracurriculars, so always request a full fee schedule and refund/online-teaching policies.
When should we apply and what is the admissions rhythm?
Most schools follow a September intake for the new academic year, with assessments, interviews and places confirmed in preceding months, but many also accept mid-year entries or operate rolling admissions where space allows. Start enquiries early, prepare school records and assessment materials, and ask about entry tests, language requirements and the school’s deadline for deposits or enrolment contracts.
What practical checks should relocating families make before choosing a school?
Ask about accreditation and the exact curriculum pathways on offer, language and learning-support provision, pastoral and mental-health services, and the school’s contingency plans for remote or hybrid learning and student safety. Because education provision in Ukraine has faced disruption, also confirm the school’s current operational status, fee-refund or remote-teaching policies and any required residency or visa documentation for enrolment.
