Today, the "Russian School Abroad" offers several educational formats that combine in-person and distance learning technologies. We approach each new school and project individually. What remains consistent is the high level of our teaching staff, programs implemented in accordance with Russian state standards (FSES), the use of pedagogical practices from the Gorchakov Lyceum of MGIMO, and personalized approach to students.

Blended Learning Classes of the Gorchakov Lyceum of MGIMO.

Programs for 8th–11th grade students who aim to pass the Unified State Examination (USE) and subsequently enter a Russian university.

Students are enrolled in the blended learning format at the Gorchakov Lyceum of MGIMO. They study online on the modern digital IBLS platform and meet with teachers three times a year for five-day offline intensives in their country of residence. The program includes preparation for the USE in Russian language and mathematics, a linguistic focus, and in-depth study of social and humanities disciplines.

In the 9th and 11th grades, students in the blended learning classes can take Russian exams in Turkey, China, or Cyprus, where RSA organizes special Examination Centers. Upon graduation, all program participants receive a diploma from the Gorchakov Lyceum at MGIMO and, traditionally, achieve high average scores on the Unified State Examination, enabling them to continue their education at leading Russian universities.

Full-time schools

Full-cycle schools (most often from grades 1 to 11) with a curriculum that combines national and Russian educational components. This allows graduates to receive dual diplomas: one from the Gorchakov Lyceum and one from their country of residence.

Our methodologists create a curriculum that meets the requirements of the country of presence and Russian educational standards, while taking into account parents' requests to add certain programs. At RSA we organize extracurricular activities and additional classes for children, divide them into profile classes in high school, and support work on their own projects.

The curriculum in these schools is based on the FSES (Federal State Educational Standards), allowing students to prepare for the USE during lessons and take the exams without coming to Russia. We organize Examination Centers in the same country where the school is located.

Methodological support programs

As part of our collaboration with foreign schools we help to improve the qualifications of local teachers and implement the best Russian educational practices. To achieve this, we regularly organize lectures and workshops, participate in specialized exhibitions and fairs, and teach how to implement a hybrid education model.
