What are the schools in Russia like?
When we asked about the schools in Russia, they said...
"I would recommend to do enroll child in advance (spring time) - otherwise you might loose the place for your child," commented one expat when asked about Atlantic International School in Moscow.
"Think hard about attending here. This school thinks it is much better than it is. The curriculum, particularly math, is very weak. Most parents engage tutors for the children to keep up with the home curriculum. The teachers' children receive preference in sports, drama clubs etc. The teachers receive preference for use of school facilities such as the workout room. It is not nearly good enough for the high tuition paid and the headmaster is ineffective. The administration does not welcome constructive criticism. The best advice? Attend ISM if given the choice," remarked one expat living in Moscow with children attending Anglo American School.
