WHAT WE LIKE about this program! - Largest and busiest city in Russia - Home to the iconic Kremlin and S. Basil's Cathedral - Unique alternative or Add-on to St. Petersburg Program - The most reputable Language School in Russia - period!

Enjoy a Russian language course in Russia at our language school in the city of Moscow.

Moscow is unlike any other city in the World! It is a symbol of Russian spiritual and political power dating back more than 850 years. Today the city is a barometer of the changes sweeping through Russia. Formerly referred to as the center of one of the world's superpowers, Moscow is still reeling from the rapid change that it has undergone. Nowhere other than in Moscow are Russia's contrasts more apparent: ancient monasteries and ultra-modern monoliths stand side by side. Moscow's energy lies within its many neighborhoods, each of which is unique and waiting to be discovered.

We also offer a "split city program" between:
Moscow and St Petersburg.

SCHOOL FACILITIES - 6 beautiful new classrooms - Computer work stations with the latest technology - Cafeteria with hot and cold meals - Wireless, High-speed Internet access available

PROGRAM BASICS - Open to all language levels - Choice of Standard or Intensive course - Small class size, Max. 8 students per class

Intensive: (25 lessons per week)

Our programs cater for all language levels from absolute beginners to the more advanced, include the use of course materials and provide a variety of options to enhance your program. Beginners must start on set start dates and have at least the knowledge of the cyrillic alphabet.

Each student will be expected to take a short placement test on the first Monday morning of the course (unless a complete beginner), to determine the students language level and ensure placement in the correct class.

Teachers are native speakers and many are university educated with years of teaching experience. They will help enhance your speaking, listening, grammar and general comprehension skills. They will also use interactive techniques such as role-play, games and perhaps videos to support lesson content. Current political, social and cultural materials are integrated to add interest and increase knowledge of Russia

After classes are over for the day, our program allows you plenty of time to discover your new country, culture, traditions, customs and everyday life.

The school normally organizes at least two activities per week, such as theater visits (opera/drama/ballet), theme excursions or trips to places of interest: Red Square, the Kremlin, Assumption Cathedral, St Basil’s Cathedral, Tretyakov Gallery, Novodevichy Monastery, Moscow has so many interesting things to see, even getting around is a tourist attraction in itself.

The Metro is a cheap and convenient means of travelling around the city and you will notice many stations are sumptuously decorated with marble, glittering chandeliers and works of art.

Weekend excursions could include: Star City, located just outside of Moscow, this is a cosmonaut training complex which is open to the public. Pushkin (Tsarskoye Selo) the former country residence of the Russian emperors or a boat tour on the Moskva River is a pleasant way of discovering the city or why not spend the weekend in St. Petersburg.

Host Family: (private room) 2 meals daily

Living with a host family is probably the best and most effective way to become fully immersed into the language and culture of your chosen country. Russia is a country with a basic infrastructure and power or hot water failures are not uncommon. However, justly famous Russian hospitality will play its part in overcoming most of these problems.

We usually select families without any foreign language knowledge (English speaking Russians are desperate for some English conversation). However, if a participant feels uneasy about this approach, we will find them a host family where English is spoken. Our experience shows that even absolute beginners will be able to communicate after the first few days.

Our host families usually live not more than 40 minutes away by public transport. Students have access to all living areas in the house and in most cases, will be expected to share the bathroom. All bed linens and pillows will be provided, however we suggest you bring your own towels.

Self Catering Apartments: (private room) no meals

Our apartments are normally located within the same distance as the host families and are shared with other international students studying at the school. Our apartments are co-ed, however rooms are shared with the same gender. Apartments are not air conditioned but have fans and will be cleaned once every week. No washing machine is available, however, there is generally a laundromat close-by.

All apartments provide a well equipped kitchen (including cooking utensils), shared bathroom facilities and living areas. The apartments vary in size and number of bedrooms, depending on the location in the city but expect to share with 2 - 4 other students.
