Destination and Campus Location

During any season, at any hour of the day, mainland Europe’s eastern most and largest capital, Moscow thrills with its artistry, history and majesty. Moscow exudes prosperity and vigour through the diverse architecture, from the vibrantly painted churches decorated with golden domes to carved-marble metro stations. Cosmopolitan in flavour, Russia's capital hosts an active and diverse expat community. Moscow always has something to offer from spacious green parks, world class opera and ballet, facilities for every kind of imaginable sport, and endless great food options. And better yet, it offers the perfect jumping off point for countless tourist destinations across Europe and East.

CIS Education Group occupies three impressive campuses in Moscow area: Moscow Campus, Skolkovo Campus and Gorki Campus.

CIS International School Moscow Campus is located to the north of Moscow, amongst residential areas where a number of visiting foreign families live, surrounded by beautiful gardens and parks. There are a number of business centres near the campus. Campus opened its doors in 2010 and have students from Year 1 to Year 10. In 2021 we will have our first cohort of students sitting their IGCSEs. We are a relatively small school with high expectations and standards. We teach both the Cambridge and the Russian curriculum, and have an exciting extra-curricular activities programme.

CIS International School Skolkovo Campus is in the western part of Moscow in the vicinity of the Skolkovo Innovation Centre, surrounded by a national park and numerous sports fields. The school was opened in 2011 and has students from Nursery to Sixth Form. Our graduates are excellent achievers of the best universities around the world.

CIS International School Gorki Campus is an outstanding recent addition to the CIS Education Group situated to the west of Central Moscow in beautiful countryside but with easy access to central Moscow. All classes are limited to a maximum of 18 students, with the younger years receiving additional classroom support through Learning Assistants and Nannies. Throughout the school, the Cambridge curriculum is taught for approximately 75% of the time with the remainder given to the Russian curriculum. Our expatriate students study Russian as an additional language but also have time to explore their own interests through a personalised learning programme. Our education is based on a values based system. This is based on five key values: People Centered, Openness, Responsibility, Innovation, and Globally minded. This runs through everything that we do and our students exhibit these qualities.
