Head of Skolkovo Campus
I hope that I can use my experiences and knowledge to help my staff further develop the school to ensure our pupils have a successful and memorable time under our guidance. We pay special attention to the culture of cooperation. Our students exchange ideas, create joint projects, and develop team and leadership skills. The school has a warm atmosphere in which each child is sure that their own ideas, thoughts and talents are met with encouragement and guidance.
International Teacher, Early Years
I chose to become a teacher because I enjoy developing children and teaching new skills. I inspire students through interesting and diverse teaching methods. I find a common language with students by using humour and a fair and consistent approach.
International Teacher, Primary School
I inspire my students by showing a genuine enthusiasm for the subjects I teach and relating them to real life. Positive reinforcement is key, as I strive to recognise and celebrate the achievements and progress made by children. Every child is unique and must learn to compete with themselves as opposed to each other. Trying your best is what matters, as opposed to coming top of the class in every subject.
International Teacher, History
I believe the teacher, in order to be successful, ought to have high expectations of his pupils and be able to inspire enthusiasm for the subject being taught. Furthermore, pupils should be encouraged to think for themselves and to form opinions and make judgements based on evidence, rather than being told what to think.
International Teacher, Early Years
To get students excited about learning, I tell interesting stories related to the lesson and my past experiences and show my own excitement about the subject. To connect with my students, I use humour and tell jokes they can relate to as well as talk about popular movies, music, or games they like.
International Teacher, Computer Science
My experience as a co-founder of an IT company enriches my ability to connect theoretical knowledge with practical, real-world applications, making learning more relevant and engaging. I am passionate about my profession because it allows me to continuously innovate and inspire students by bridging the gap between technology and business. My approach to finding common ground with students involves understanding their unique backgrounds and interests, which helps in creating a more engaging and supportive learning environment.
International Teacher, Early Years
I gain great pride myself when my students do well, try to bring a fun outlook on teaching different subjects, using as many materials as possible and using them in new ways. I plan around the children and take an individual approach, making sure every child has an equal opportunity to learn to the best of their abilities.
International Teacher, Science
I chose teaching to inspire young minds and share my passion for science. I engage students with hands-on experiments and real-world applications of scientific concepts. I build rapport with students by being approachable, patient, and understanding their individual needs. My creativity helps me design exciting lessons that capture students' imagination.
International teacher, Business studies teacher
My job is to explain to students how the world works. Getting them interested in my subject starts with me getting to know them as individuals, and by building strong relationships with them. In our Business lessons we discuss how other entrepreneurs started businesses and created products that changed the world. Many of my student soon realise that they can be the leaders of the future.
International Teacher, Science
Through hands-on experiments, interactive activities, and engaging resources, my aim is to establish a lively and engaging learning environment that promotes active involvement and critical thinking. To establish a connection with my students, I strive to build strong relationships based on trust, respect, and empathy. I take the time to listen to their questions, ambitions, and interests, and adjust my teaching approach to suit their specific needs and learning styles. By demonstrating genuine care and understanding, I create a secure and supportive atmosphere where students feel at ease expressing themselves and exploring new ideas.
International Teacher, Mathematics
The most vital part of building society is inspiring our youth to become lifelong learners and explore the world around us. I love to tell stories and give puzzles, prompt students to ask questions and be curious. Students need to be able to relate to the materials and concepts, the best way is through plenty of practice and a hands on approach, if they are asking the right questions, then they are on the right track.
International Teacher, Drama and English
I believe strongly in a values-based education and feel that my subject of Drama lends itself to the development of the whole child. In my classroom I strive to make Drama a fun, engaging and challenging subject that develops skills that my students will use for the rest of their lives. I feel that my classes encourage tolerance, respect for differences and student self-awareness and confidence.
CIS graduates enter prestigious universities in Russia, Europe and Asia.
Our dual academic pathway enables students to:
— choose the most suitable country and mode of study;
— meet the entry requirements of a wide range of universities.
CIS graduates are students who completed Years 11-13. Thanks to the Russian State Exams and international exams (IGCSE, A/AS Level), our graduates enter universities worldwide. Over 66% of our students choose to continue their studies abroad.
The Alumni Association is a community of CIS International School graduates.
The association helps alumni stay connected with classmates and the school. It supports new graduates and provides a space to strengthen personal and professional relationships with peers who share a similar level of education and experience.
Engagement includes a wide range of activities: events, social media presence, mentoring, volunteering and fundraising, career services, and ongoing networking.
International education defines a global standard of education adopted in many countries (about 140 for the Cambridge program). It is aimed not only at obtaining academic knowledge, but also at developing relevant skills that help students be successful in further education and careers, both in their own country and abroad.
Our school offers two programs at once: Cambridge and Russian. In the process of studying subjects in two languages, students develop their thinking, since the programs suggest different approaches. Thus, "British" physics gives a deep understanding of any phenomena, and "Russian" - the ability to work with formulas and solve problems.
Graduates receive two documents: a Russian certificate and an A-level certificate
Stories of our students: cisedu.com
Teaching according to the Cambridge program is conducted in English by foreign teachers. Lessons according to the Russian program are conducted in Russian by the relevant specialists.
Yes, you can join as long as there are places in the class. Programs are adapted for a child to join during the school year.
It varies depending on the campus, but we always try to take into account the interests of each family.
The following areas are traditionally implemented:
No more than 18 or 20 people depending on age group (may vary by campus)
There is homework, its volume depends on the class, and the time it takes to complete it depends on the current level of knowledge of the student. Parents always have access to detailed information regarding homework, as well as to recommendations from teachers.
There is a medical professional on site throughout the school day on each campus who can be contacted if any questions or concerns arise regarding health. If a child shows symptoms of illness, we will contact the parents. If there is reason to believe that the illness is viral, then before upon the parents' arrival, the student will be in the medical office.
Enrollment is based on the results of testing, the composition of which varies depending on age:
From 2 to 18 years old (varies depending on the campus). We have an Early Years programm and a full-cycle school. You can find out about the availability of graduating classes and nursery groups, as well as reserve a place in the class in Telegram or WhatsApp
In the Russian Federation: Moscow State University, Higher School of Economics, RANEPA, MGIMO, Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas, St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, etc.
Abroad: Oxford Brookes University, British Higher School of Art and Design, University of Amsterdam, University of Manchster, New York Institute of Technology University of Westminster, etc.
The main academic program lasts on average from 8:30 to 15:40 (times may vary depending on the age of the students). After this, there are elective classes. The campuses also operate extended day groups until 17:30.
Some classes are included in the price, some are paid separately.

It's a great school, I don't understand who can give it 1-2 stars, only envious people or competitors of this school.
24 May 2025
A very good school, excellent teaching, well-equipped classrooms, varied and delicious meals, highly qualified teachers, and an individual approach to each child. One of the best international schools in Tashkent.

One of the best schools in Tashkent 🔥

My two children attend this excellent school. We've never had a better one. Before this, we attended the President School, but no other school in Moscow or the Moscow region can compare. The teaching staff is exceptional, with an individualized approach to each child. Small classes. I especially want to emphasize balanced nutrition. I recommend it to everyone, and a huge thank you to the principal and all the teachers.

A magnificent educational institution. Those who can afford to study there are very lucky.
18 December 2024
Excellent international school. It implements two educational programs ( Cambridge + Russian). The low occupancy rate of classes allows each student to develop.
24 November 2024
An excellent school with a personalized approach to each child. They offer extracurricular activities (coding and other) outside of school hours, which eliminates the need for children to constantly move between institutions.
09 November 2024
We are learning, we really like it.
21 October 2024
The kids love it there
25 July 2024
Excellent school. Professional teachers. Comfortable learning environment. No bullying.
04 June 2024
I studied here myself. The interior and the teachers are very nice. They also have a delicious cafeteria. I got into the physics and mathematics lyceum, so that's why I didn't stay.
01 March 2024
My experience allows me to speak confidently only about the kindergarten at this school. And it's excellent. In three terms, my child has picked up a lot of words, learned his letters, started reading a little in both Russian and English, and started counting. The number of crafts and drawings he brings home from kindergarten is incalculable. The small family-friendly format is also ideal for young children. The small kindergarten group, combined with interaction with older children at clubs and various events, is, in my opinion, the optimal combination, providing a child with attention and care, as well as experience with communication and socialization. Everyone is very friendly and comfortable. If all these features aren't necessary, it's better to choose a different campus or a different school altogether. And for children 12+ who aren't introverted, I would probably also choose a more dynamic place. But if you want to give your child a safe haven where they'll be safe, supported, taught, and cared for, this place will fully meet your expectations.

An amazing school with dedicated teachers, lots of interesting activities, which offers high quality education.
13 December 2023
The school is wonderful. The teachers are very good and kind. Everything is top-notch. We're in our second year there and we don't regret it at all. It's worth the money.
17 March 2023
An excellent school with wonderful teachers and staff. They pay close attention to each child. They help them settle in, help them discover their talents, teach them how to study, and if there are any gaps in their knowledge, they help fill them. The child is very interested and comfortable in learning. There are various clubs for children, sports and cultural events, open lessons and days, and the school is filled with a huge number of interesting events. There is definitely no routine here. The Cambridge curriculum goes hand in hand with the Russian one, and this is very important, as the child has more opportunities. We really like the Moscow campus.
21 February 2023
We carefully selected a school for our youngest daughter because we were moving to Moscow. We looked at several Moscow schools in the same program, and when we came for an interview at the Festivalnaya campus, we immediately fell in love and were never disappointed. This school turned out to be a true family for us! Caring, welcoming, friendly, and caring about each student as if they were our own! The atmosphere is friendly and positive! It's a shame this campus only runs through Year 9. In Year 10, we transferred to a different campus, and they actively helped us choose the right one, offered advice, and were fully involved in the process. They don't abandon their students here and support them at every stage. We are very grateful to the school for everything! To the entire staff!
12 December 2022
An excellent school with a cozy and pleasant atmosphere, the children (students) enjoy attending. The teachers are wonderful: very attentive, friendly, and responsible. The children quickly integrate into the school atmosphere, and communication and interaction between classes is well-organized. We've been attending the school since he was three years old. Our child is happy.
19 July 2022
For our family, the school environment and our relationship with our children are key! We constantly work with our children at home and check their homework. We can't do without it in the early stages. The school provides resources and a lively foreign language, and we simply support them. But being there for our children when they're stressed out at school, offering advice, a hug, or comfort—we can't help but love them. The teachers and staff do a tremendous job! They cultivate their curiosity and motivate them to learn every day. Isn't that wonderful, my friends? I know every day what my children have been doing and how successful they are. We feel like we're part of a big, close-knit family here! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
11 June 2022
My child attends kindergarten here. After three months, he started initiating conversations in English at home and outside, with simple phrases so far, but I'm very happy about that. I like the wide variety of activities, starting from 3:20 PM to 5:00 PM. You can find the right ones based on your child's interests. There are both paid and free ones for this time. And you don't have to transport them anywhere. The kindergarten is constantly full of activities. They draw, create, dig in the dirt, and build. There's never a moment of boredom. Once a week, there's an assembly where the entire elementary school gets together to discuss a common topic. Parents receive photos and videos throughout the day. The staff and teachers are friendly. The menu is delicious. The buildings are well-equipped and the classrooms are well-equipped. There's a large, covered outdoor playground with swings, a carousel, etc. I don't think there's a pool. There's little bureaucracy. Many issues can be resolved remotely via Telegram =) There's good, large parking at the kindergarten. I like it. That you don't have to bring a child. Change clothes and all that. You just drop them off at the gate. On the downside, the environment is more Russian-speaking: there aren't many foreigners. But where there are a lot of foreigners, the price is higher—if not at the preschool, then definitely at the school. So overall, I recommend the preschool at this school.
25 May 2020
We went to school on the recommendation of friends. We transferred from another school due to my husband's job change. We studied in person until March, then switched to online learning due to the quarantine. Our child has been attending happily all year, and there were no difficulties convincing him to go. The teachers are very attentive. The learning process is well-structured, and most importantly, there is always the opportunity to talk with the teacher and the principal. Special thanks for the community atmosphere – they explain everything and offer helpful tips. There is a lot of English, but I want to learn more.
02 April 2020
The school teaches in English! The teachers are English! They work wonderfully with the children! Lots of extracurricular activities for a well-rounded education!

I joined CIS after Year 9 when I realized I wanted to study abroad. At the same time, I knew my English was not yet strong enough. It was important for me to study at an international school where I could improve my language skills and adapt to a new system. I considered different schools, but CIS suited me best. Here you can study two programs at once - international and Russian. That was important not only to me but also to my parents: they wanted me to keep the knowledge I gained over nine years in a Russian school.

My curiosity helps me a lot, and it grew thanks to the teachers at CIS. Even in primary school, in Science lessons we did not just learn theory - we explored how things work: we studied volcanoes and the human body and did experiments. History was exciting too - we built Egyptian pyramids from sugar cubes, the Great Wall of China from cardboard cards, and Viking houses from wine corks. It was not only useful, but also a lot of fun.
Year 11 student
Skolkovo Campus
I want to study biomedical engineering - to create technologies that help people with disabilities live fuller lives. School has helped me prepare for this path. A big advantage at CIS is the two programs, which approach the same subjects in different ways and complement each other. For example, in the international physics course we focused on understanding why phenomena happen. In the Russian program we worked with formulas and problem solving. A good example is heat transfer: in international lessons we explored convection, conduction, and radiation in depth, while in Russian lessons we calculated how much thermal energy an object can gain or lose. Together this built a complete picture that really helps in further study.
