Dear Parents,

The English International School was set up in 2006. It is a small, British style, international school, offering the British curriculum to children of primary and secondary age. It is well established and has excellent facilities. EIS is a very friendly school with excellent pupil-teacher ratios and prides itself on treating each child as an individual. There is a happy and purposeful atmosphere and children are expected to work hard and achieve excellent results. EIS also stands for ‘Everyone is Special’.

The school is situated very close to Novogireevo metro station in the east of Moscow and can be reached from the centre in 30 minutes. Eleven school buses collect children from all over the city and deliver them home again in the early evening.

EIS sets high academic standards and the expatriate teachers, who are all native speakers of English, will help your children to achieve their full potential. All the teaching is in English, but the Russian language is given a particular emphasis in the curriculum. Pupils take British examinations and proceed to top universities in the English speaking world. The school offers the International General Certificate of Education (IGCSE) at 16 and the General Certificate of Education (A-levels) in a broad range of subjects at 18.

Most importantly, EIS offers young people the chance to grow up with friends from many different countries. They learn to communicate across cultural barriers and acquire the social skills they will need for the highly interconnected world in which we live.
