What are the schools in Russia like?

"If you can, definitely visit in person the term before you are due to arrive and take up the opportunity of the orientation day. If your child is very keen on a particular sport, you need to explore the availability of this within school - however there are very active weekend sports activities and training within Moscow eg football & ice hockey," said one parent with children at International School of Moscow in Moscow.

"If you are tired of British Schools this is a very attractive variant. Especially their kindergarten next to the metro station Rechnoy vagzal is a must-see," commented one expat when asked about Atlantic International School in Moscow.
