What are the schools in Russia like?

"I am very worried about this school. Is it a school? I'm not sure. It seems so strange that this is a school run by Turkish businessmen who have been given offices in a tiny school, when there are not enough classrooms for the children. I am getting the feeling that they have employed a few western teachers to give it a look of being credible, but they are hiding behind them. Everything is done so cheaply - and so is the canteen food. My children complain of the boring food! Not enough resources for students! ICT VERY tiny. I am paying good money - for what?," said one expat in Moscow with children at Atlantic International School.

"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," remarked one parent with kids at International School of Moscow in Moscow.
