Why an English school?

The best option for your family
One of only 4 international high schools in Moscow, Russia, our children learn to be citizens of the world by spending at least 30 hours a week studying in English and receiving the highest quality education with a Diploma recognized by the best Universities in the world.
The main specialization of the school is the teaching of natural science subjects: mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and information technology. Excellent technical equipment, a modern laboratory complex, a carefully designed curriculum make the English School (ESF) one of the most advanced schools in the world. Our teaching standards are guided by the same academic standards as high quality private schools in the UK.

Education for the 21st century
The curriculum of the school focuses on the teaching of natural sciences, mathematics and information technology, which, of course, is the most popular area of ​​the modern world. However, we must point out a number of key subjects in our curriculum, namely: English and Russian, classical and modern world literature, history, geography, French, design and technology, visual arts, physical education and music.
At the English School, we combine project-based learning with the National Curriculum of England and Wales, taught by our experienced English teachers, to provide the most complete and dynamic primary and secondary school education.

What is project learning?
Project-based learning is a modern approach to learning in which students explore real-life problems and challenges with practical applications in the classroom. They learn to solve problems by formulating problems, asking questions and critical reasoning; that is, they learn on the job. In the English School, students not only memorize facts and figures, they learn how to apply their knowledge to achieve their goals. As a result, students develop the right approach to learning, which, in addition to knowledge of basic subjects, includes the development of creativity and social skills.

Warm and welcoming atmosphere
Newly enrolling families become part of an active and welcoming school community. Parents are key partners of the school in the education of their children, and we strongly welcome their participation in the life of the school. This can be done by joining various school committees or participating in various educational and social activities.
Any level of family involvement is welcome, from participating in literary readings with children, to working on the Parents' Committee, attending Creative Clubs, Russian as a Foreign Language classes for expat parents, or an English conversation group for parents who are learning English, or, for example, you can help with baking cookies and making crafts for charity fairs, take part in decorating the school for Christmas and so on.

Great school! Came here on the recommendation of teachers from the last international school. Our child could not study there, because, one might say, he “suffered” from a lack of knowledge. In the English School of Science, knowledge, on the contrary, is given a lot, but they are all useful. I had to catch up with the program in mathematics on my own, since here they go through it more deeply, and in physics and chemistry I had to work out additionally. There are many foreigners in the school, there are Arabs and Africans, so the child learns tolerance, communication with other people, adopts their culture. I would also like to thank Principal Ross Hunter for creating such a wonderful school.
