The child is very happy with this kindergarten)

We are learning, we really like it.

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.

The kids love it there

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.

The environment here is wonderful, just as a school should be. There's a swimming pool and a gym right next to the school.

We've been accepted! We're looking forward to September 2nd. The campus is excellent, the classrooms are wonderful! I hope the education will be top-notch, and most importantly, interesting.

A huge school with a kindergarten and a separate ice rink. A wonderful principal from England!
05 November 2023
If I were my son's age, I'd really love to attend this school. Firstly, the foreign language is taught by native speakers, and that's very important. Secondly, there's discipline. The food is decent. The only downside is the cost. But what wouldn't you do for your child?
18 February 2023
The school is good. Children attend school with great enthusiasm. Education is from three to five years old, like kindergarten. From six onward, they attend school. Each year, the teaching staff changes: a native speaker teacher, a teacher's assistant who speaks Russian and English, and a Russian language teacher. There are many clubs and sections. The schools are located in different areas of the city and the surrounding region. The staff is friendly and welcoming. The administration is polite, adequate, and responsible in their approach to the education and upbringing of children.

I just want to express my deepest gratitude to Miss Lilia for her professionalism and her ability to work with children! She is a God-given teacher! Thank you so much!
29 July 2022
My children really like the school. They had no trouble adapting to the English-speaking environment. The teachers are friendly and always help with homework. There's after-school care. The grounds are fantastic—pine trees, lots of greenery, and a ball field.

I arrived for a tour without warning, but they made time to greet me, showed me around all the classrooms, showed me everything, and even dropped in on the lessons. Everything was clean and tidy. They called me back after I filled out the form. The service was excellent! The receptionist was very welcoming! The teachers were wonderful at first glance, the classrooms were well-equipped, and the children were running around happy.

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.
