Yekaterinburg - Post Report Question and Answers

What is the availability of international schools? What has been your general experience with them, if any?

There are no international schools at post. It is not recommended for school-aged children to come to Yekaterinburg (unless you'd like for them to attend a local Russian school). - Feb 2020


This was a bit negative. There is no international school here, but I do understand that our former English teacher (who is an American living in Yekaterinburg) opened up his own language school. I am not sure of all the details of his school's program. Our kids went to Russian nursery and kindergarten. In the kindergarten, they had 2nd half of their day in English and the 1st half in Russian. If you want your kids to be immersed in Russian, this is a great post as few people speak English here. - Aug 2018

QSI (Quality Schools International) made a half-hearted attempt to open an international school in 2003-04 (our daughter was the school's only student), but threw in the towel at the end of the year. We found local authorities very helpful in their attempts to assist us in finding other educational opportunities for our daughter. For example, she attended a special school for basketball players and played with the girls team at that school. - Jan 2008
